Shoplifter Barely Avoids Jail--For The Billionth Time

Eff me once, shame on you--eff me twice, shame on me--eff me 71 times, I'm not sure who should be shameful:

A SHOPLIFTING junkie with 71 previous convictions was spared jail after magistrates decided he needed another chance to sort his life out.

David Edward Benbow, 30, was caught with a can of lager down his trousers after visits to a Bargain Booze store, Flintshire magistrates were told.

Benbow was arrested and bailed, failing to turn up in court, and, while on bail, stole again.

He had a longstanding heroin problem, and had been an alcoholic for about 10 years.

The girls and I were discussing this at our knitting circle this afternoon, and Flo said that the judge was right in letting him off, she said that it was an insignificant crime and the guy is crying out for help. Mary said they should throw the book at him and teach that son-of-a-gun a lesson he won't soon forget. I was too busy knitting boobie holders and didn't take part in the discussion.

I sure hope TLDG like the boobie holders I made her. I made them out of wool and tons of love.
