Man Steals Donut, Could Get 30 Years

Not one day after the Discovery channel finally aired that documentary about overcrowded prison systems that I must’ve saw a commercial for every 2.5 seconds on various networks, a man is arrested for stealing a donut and may get 30 years.

Oh yeah. 30 years. That’s more than Michael Vick, OJ Simpson, Larry Craig, and every other nut that I’ve covered at one point or another in this blog will ever get. That’s more than most people get for killing someone these days. But at least the pastries are safe!

I won’t get into my own beliefs on the legal system and what should be the punishment for various offenses because you’d probably think I was out there. Obviously, the punishment doesn’t really fit the crime in this case. The man has been given the nickname “The Doughnut Man” as well which is just going to make prison like that much more depressing for him. Reports are he didn’t even get to keep the donut.
