Ice cream licker jailed

he was jailed - ostensibly - for consuming food before purchase.

a complete double standard unless you really want pre-purchase consumption being a thing people are regularly being jailed for.

we aren’t supposed to use obscure crimes as revenge against behavior or people we don’t like ( while i know police use such justification - failure to signal, failure to comply with a lawful order - as justification for harassing and jailing people of color all the time, it’s not what we - as a society - should want )

if he is being jailed for “incitement to lick ice cream” shouldn’t we also be throwing people who sell the anarchist cookbook in jail?

or how about makers of “pickup-artist” videos? videos of people who use guns in unsafe ways? or people who fly the confederate flag?

those are much more dangerous incitements to harm then this.

if you’re afraid of ice cream lickers: write emails to bluebell. that’s the most logical response.

somehow i feel this is on topic here:
