Well it is always nice to take a break from the crap of the political scene for a really odd story. Seems a guy who was recently released from prison for breaking into stores to "have his way" with store mannequins. He didn’t wait very long before he again smashed the window of a cleaning company and assaulted the mannequin dressed as a French maid. I am not making this up!
He now faces possible life in prison as a repeat offender for this stuff. This story though comical on the surface shows the problem with our current penal system. We warehouse offenders and do nothing to get to the root cause of their crimes. We just hold them and release them and then wonder why they break the law again.
This guy sounds like a guy with a fetish and he has no legal means of indulging it. It is probably because he has never understood why he is attracted to the storeroom dummies. Wouldn’t it make sense to work with him a little bit and find why he has the fetish and then help him find a less intrusive way to express it?
After all, I like leather; I just don’t go breaking into leather stores to indulge myself.
