Some holiday-themed sentencing headlines for Festivus celebrants
I am not sure if there is any enduring importance to the stories linked below, but they all caught my eye today as I was making my usual review of sentencing headlines via Google news.
Especially if one is celebrating Festivus today and is eager to have a special criminal-justice-portion of the traditional "Airing of Grievances", I suspect the stories below might make for helpful holiday dinner table conversations. Indeed, though there are a number of serious (and not-quite-so-serious) stories lurking behind the various headlines below, I think we could have an amusing Festivus contest involving Feats of (intellectual) Strength by seeing who can come up with the most clever "Onion-type" story to accompany one or more of these headlines:
-
"Toys for Tots giveaway cancelled after news of registered sex offender"
-
"Naughty 'Santa' Mike Busey busted for selling booze at the Sausage Castle"
Happy Festivus one and all.
