There has got to be a lot of drugs involved.
Or just a bit of very good drugs. That guy was on a tear, that's for sure.
I'm guessing some of it was hallucinogenics.

You mean the cops didnt shoot him while he was hanging there because he wouldnt put up his hands?

That's really the tone a lot of these Law & Order sub-forum threads seem to take lately...no matter how far back you have to go to find them.

He's lucky it was phone lines and not power lines. Better incarceration than incineration.
At least he was not surprised when he was put on hold.

Stanley was then arrested around 7 p.m. and booked into jail following an evaluation at the hospital. He was booked on charges of robbery, theft and malicious mischief.
