FOX: A homeless man dressed only in American flag shorts was arrested Thursday after allegedly stealing a truck full of beer and leading police on a highway chase, authorities in Northern California say.
Police later identified the suspect as Matt Hermsmeyer, 46. He was charged with suspicion of vehicle theft, possession of stolen property, priors for auto theft, resisting arrest and violation of his probation. more
If all I had was American Flag underwear I might think about stealing a truck full of beer too.
I’m sure it seemed like a completely rationally good idea at the time …
been there; done that… wait …. nevermindWell, several regulars have been posting since Thursday, so they’re off the hook.
And the guy in the restaurant had his 5 year old daughter sitting in his lap. When do we reach the time that we have had enough?
Came back to add a lol at ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ’s comment. Caught yours, BB. Damn. Just damn.
Brad’s link is gone never mind…
What the heck happen to Brad’s comment? Makes it look like RosalindJ and I don’t know what we are talking about. Maybe Rose Mary Woods is editing the comments.
Can you imagine if he stole a doughnut truck?
So, just so every one knows I deleted that comment because I started thinking it wasn’t fair to MJA.
Anymouse. L.A. has a communist Chief of police. Would that ass hole stab that poor father in the neck if he thought 42% of the people dining there were armed and he would be killed immediately? Probably a deterrent. Bottom line he’d be dead.
BB,
I dropped my comment also after yours disappeared. Perhaps you’re correct, but situational awareness would probably still find him stabbed and/or dead.
Time for me to go home, till tomorrow all…
In the 90’s we had a Budweiser truck stolen from behind the on base exchange here on island 🌴.
It was loaded, it was never found.😉
You guys amaze me. It’s only a damn beer truck. Why don’t you come to my neighborhood and scrape up the empties. It’s only a beer truck. (Oops, sorry! Woke up with a ignorant rant in my head.)
Sounds like the thirsty vagrant pulled a Willie Sutton. “That’s where the beer is”.
There was a time in my life …
That and a Krispy Kreme truck …
Oh! I meant “or” not “and” … really!
izlamo delenda est …
Would have probably gotten away with it, too, if he didn’t have to pull over to pee….
“…dressed only in American flag shorts…”
THAT’S A LIE!!!
He was wearing brown shoes too.
Captain America has been out of work since Trump came to Town.
It’s gotten really bad for all super-heroes (Even Thor, the crazy Norwegian, said he was running for President)
