Free Russell Chmieleski
A teenager has to serve six months to two years for streaking through a high school graduation, "because children were in the crowd." Huh? Children have become our catch-all unimaginative excuse for abolishing humor from our world. What sort of people do they have in Towanda, Pennsylvania? Fundamentalist Muslims? If you're going to throw somebody in jail for six months to two years, why not just go whole hog and stone women showing a turn of ankle? Streaking is funny, and the maximum sentence for it should be a ticket or an order to pick up litter along a stretch of highway. Under what theory of justice do you devestate a young life for public nudity? The city fathers of Towanda should be ashamed.

OMG! The "system" will find anything wrong just to charge those taxpayers now won't they?
Sorry they have to use this young man as an excuse for lousy-government-too-much-spending-the-tax-payer's-money-on-frivulous-expendature's-instead-of-where-the-money-is-intended-to-go-the-first-place.
2 YEARS? Wow. Vote Russell Chmieleski next term....At least you'd acutally laugh about something funny than laugh at the tax bill!!!!!
