Steal $400,000 and only be fined $10k

There are so many things wrong in the world and our judicial system should be at the top.
A Kettering woman on Tuesday pleaded guilty to stealing more than $400,000 from Stahl Vision in Beavercreek.
then
Donahue would get out of prison via judicial release after one year provided she’s paid $10,000 in restitution by that date.
The prosecutor said Donahue likely won’t pay back much more than a small fraction of the $403,110 that police say she took between Feb. 1, 2007, and July 31, 2010, from the vision center at 4235 Indian Ripple Road.
Does it not make more sense that the restitution should be equal to the amount stolen?

My word I'm in the wrong profession. Crime is MUCH more profitable. You even get free healthcare when you are committed!

Staff Writers at DDN Will Kill Me

I am so sick of the writers for DDN (specifically online). Take a look at this:

Ohio National Guard units sometimes process through the Army base in Texas to prepare soldiers for mobilization or demobilization, but none are currently stationed there.

There are 16 Ohio National Guard soldiers stationed at Fort Hood
Isn't that completely contradictory?

A little extra money

Things like this just crack me up...like double digit thousands is pocket change. I was reading the DDN this afternoon about gold selling so well.

Gold was selling around $910 a troy ounce by midday and silver at $11.70.

ok...
Another, an older woman, bought 20 ounces of gold last week.

that's a lot of money...$18,200
"When she has some extra money, she buys," Eckman said.


WAIT WAIT WAIT....EXTRA MONEY? WHAT THE HELLL????

The Anti-Rant for Today - Supernatural Diaper

Great story I found on the DDN. People look to scientific explanations for miracles. I don't.


Associated Press Writer
A disposable diaper has saved the life of an 18-month-old boy, breaking his fall from a third-floor apartment window, officials said Thursday.

Caua Felipe Massaneiro survived a 30-foot (10-meter) fall because his diaper snagged on a security spike embedded in the concrete wall around his apartment building in the northeastern Brazilian city of Recife.

The boy dangled from the spike for a moment, then "the diaper opened and the baby fell to the ground, but at a much slower speed," a police officer said. "The diaper obviously lessened the impact of the fall and saved the baby's life."

"It was a miracle," said the officer who declined to be identified because she was not authorized to speak to the press. "He could also have been killed by one of the spikes."

The child was treated for minor fractures at the Hospital Memorial Sao Jose, where spokesman Gilberto Tenorio said he was in stable condition.

Police have opened an investigation to determine how the toddler fell out the window and "if parental negligence was one of the causes," the police officer said.

The Folha de S. Paulo newspaper quoted Caua's father, 23-year-old Alexandre Cesar Massaneiro as saying that his son climbed onto a sofa underneath the window he fell from - "something he had never done before."

"It wasn't the diaper that saved him," Massaneiro told the newspaper. "It was God."

See the last line there? If only more people would believe that. I don't things happen just for nothing. Everything happens for a reason.
