Held Captive

Recently in Philadelphia, a group of people were suspected of holding mentally disabled people captive in their basement.


First of all, the people who were arrested look mentally disabled themselves...

We were so careful.  How did it all go wrong?

Next, in case you're unfamiliar with this story, they decided it would be a good idea to not only hold the mentally disabled people captive, but to steal their Social Security checks as well.

I mean, I know its running out and all, but couldn't they have waited a few years to collect their own?


Additionally, who the hell sits around with their friends and says, "Hey, let's go hunt for some mentally disabled people and steal their money."  


Do you ever think about how that becomes a hot topic in a person's conversation? 


Also, why are people so lazy?  Instead of having these mentally disabled people living in their basement, they could have used the same amount of time and energy to find a job.


In fact, wouldn't it be more difficult to hide people in your basement than to actually work?  You'd have to worry about anyone peeking in, or the noises they might make to get attention, and worst of all-the checks you are stealing wouldn't be substantial, anyway.  


Think about that versus having a job at McDonalds, which is perfectly legal, and collecting a paycheck every other week.  And with two other roommates, combined monies would be enough to make a living.


I say shame on these people for not thinking it through.  You're supposed to steal from the rich, not the poor.  

Oy, haven't these gits ever seen Robin Hood?
