From the "too fool to swallow his pride" department...

Story here

Okay, picture this: you've been found guilty of misappropriating $20,000 in funds from a predominantly minority college. You have kidney cancer and have to use a wheelchar. Since it's your first conviction, the judge decides to cut you a break: 30 days jail time or publicly apologize for misappropriating the funds. What do you do?

Quote:
DALLAS -- A former Dallas City Council member has chosen to serve a month in prison over apologizing and admitting publicly that he embezzled public funds.

This guy is not really that bright, is he?

Quote:
The ultimatum came from a federal judge last Wednesday's sentencing hearing of James Fantroy Sr. after his February conviction. He was found guilty of stealing more than $20,000 in government grand money from a Paul Quinn College community development fund.

Quote:
Fantroy will appeal his conviction, Pire said.

"Jail is only for people that don't have the right connections!"

*Sighs* It just goes to show that stupidity has no boundries... and people who once held power think they're invincible.

Not all...my mom works for

Not all...my mom works for the government, as a 'little person', of course. But people who are more public faces of the government? ...Yeah, they're immune from everything, they think.

I also agree with Killi. My dad works for the New Hampshire Prosecution Department. He hardly thinks himself invincible.

So my advice to you is just to be a sweet pickle and everything will turn out for you in life - everything.

Another posiblity of why he chose jail is this: free health care.

There's an urban legend going around that talks about a guy with lung cancer that needs treatment to live. He can't get insurance, so he goes and robs a bank. He points an unloaded gun at the teller and demands money. Once she gives it to him, this guy goes up to the security guard, hands over the money and gun, and then tells the guard to call the police. He adds "You're now a hero."

What does that really say about our society if it's true?
