  1. An example to all, but it will fall on deaf ears of the loose mentally ill (or in my own words Crazy) people who are living among the rest of us, as well as the insane congress critters who loosed them upon the general population.

    Maybe we should seriously think about bringing back the asylums. I am tired of this kind of person being able to get away with crazy/dangerous actions.

    Think I’ll send ’em a check just for fun! If they don’t need it, they can throw a party for the workers.

    Good detective work all you IOTWReporters!

  3. It’s not just the contamination of the food they lose, how many people will avoid the store in the future because of this?
    It’s hard to calculate how much long term cost will be incurred from these sick animals who do things like this.

  4. Even at my most angry young man years (mad at the world and and all of that) I never would have thought of venting by coughing on groceries.

    Nope, I never would have done such a low thing as that.
