#6 Wonder if she could read them?

I'm sure she had the appropriate certificate of attendance from an NEA approved and tax funded institution that said she could.

#9 You know, I tend to be as snarky as the rest of the normal Rantburgers, but this story depressed me.

Some ignorant women with multiple kids is dead. Was she stupid? Yes. Did she deserve to die for this? Not really. Are there kids who no longer have a mother, (no matter how unfit she may have been)? Yes.

She was trying to clothes her kids, not steal crack.

A depressing story and one that saddens me.

#10 Must be why she pepper sprayed the security guard.

#11 OK, I didn't catch the pepperspray part of the story.

Phew, I feel better, and am back in full snark mode... :-)

#12 #9 and oddly while I tend to be condescending and preachy and serious, the snark here really doesnt bother me at all. Strange, eh?

#13 Clothes cost very, very little at Goodwill. And yet charity shops have a severe problem with shoplifting, both in the U.S. and Britain. The story does not say Ms. Tate has children, only that she and her sister stole $500 of children's clothing from another shop nearby... and that the clothes have somehow not been found since. We don't even know if Ms. Tate's sister has any children, or whether the two women were acquiring stock for an enterprise of their own. What we do know is that the women were prepared for opposition to their scheme, given that they had pepper spray which they immediately used on the security guard who sought to prevent them escaping with their boodle.

Francis, I agree that innocent stupidity does not deserve the death penalty. However, I am not willing to go there for those both stupid and guilty.

#14 Sounds like a felony murder charge could be coming someone's way.

Whose way? And why?

#18 Shoplifting at a Goodwill store is more like pathology than a crime. Well, the world is full of dumb people doing dumb things. HERE is a link to so-called smart people doing a dumb publicity stunt, resulting in two locomotive boilers exploding, scattering shrapnel and flying bolts and nuts into the crowd, killing some.

#19 They shoplifted at TJMaxx, which is almost as pathetic, Alaska Paul. They pepper sprayed the security guard on the way out, then hid behind the nearby Goodwill.
