A man who avoided prison after being convicted of a street attack has been jailed for refusing to perform unpaid work, then boasting about it online.


I love it when this happens, and they've been quite common recently
A friend of mine has a job at a place where people are regularly sentenced to perform community service and lately another friend has been objecting to her complaining that some of them are doing crap jobs because what you expect from what is basically unfree labor? Apparently expecting people to agree to community service instead of jail time and then manage to sweep a floor in a way that actually gets all the leaves and gum wrappers is asking too much. It's not hard labor (although friend #1 does offer "digging postholes in the hot sun" as a work option). Friend #2 is also convinced that the reason Friend #1 always has men objecting to being told to clean the bathroom is because friend #1 never has women cleaning the bathrooms, and that cleaning bathrooms is inherently insulting. Or something. I should really stay out of it but I don't shut them down when they vent to me because I don't really care.

Are you actually comparing indentured servitude and community service?

(Not when the legal system does it, see also being illegal to keep someone locked in a room unless you are the government and the room is a prison.)

Looks like crazy people are falling back on the "It's just a prank!" excuse as well


http://nypost.com/2016/08/26/viral-subway-cricket-video-was-an-elaborate-prank/

quote:

The woman who caused a massive panic on a crowded subway train by releasing a swarm of crickets admitted to The Post on Friday that she orchestrated the disgusting stunt in an attempt to go viral on social media.

quote:

But things got even worse when an innocent passenger pulled the emergency brake as the D train was crossing the Manhattan Bridge. Riders were stuck in the cricket-filled car — with no air conditioning — for 30 minutes.

“The emergency brake was pulled,” Pugh said. “We were not expecting that to happen at all.”

Another unplanned aspect was Pugh urinating on the floor of the subway car.

“I did [urinate] but didn’t purposely mean to,” Pugh said. “It was very hot and I was holding my bladder. When I realized we weren’t going anywhere, I said, ‘I’m gonna just let it out.’ ”

She was taken to Methodist Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.

Christ, whoever pulled the emergency brake is as big of an idiot as the one who released the bugs. "Oh no, there's harmless crickets everywhere! We need to get to a station and get off as fast as possible so I'd better make sure the train can't move!" I'm kinda surprised the woman who released them didn't get murdered by the other riders; without A/C it gets hot as balls in a crowded car and the D is one of those lines that keeps the in-between car doors locked, so they couldn't move to a different car or even get some fresh air.

I don't disagree that panicking over crickets is silly, but it was probably less "oh no, crickets!" and more "where the gently caress did these crickets and worms come from and what the gently caress is going on?" To be fair, some of us are still a little jumpy about sudden unexpected things like that happening.
