re: Garbage Man Sent to Jail for Picking Trash Up too Early

I'm sure this guy didn't make up his own hours. His employer is the one that sent him out early in the morning... his employer should be the one facing punishment if anyone.

Or giving him the same number of stops, but telling him, "wink-wink, nudge-nudge, just get them picked up" - and then slamming him if he complies with the 7 a.m. start date and not finishing in time to come home.

Y'all know that traffic gets bad in some places after 7.

But, yeah, jail time for doing his job seems a little bit of bull$hit.

I recall a time at LSU, long ago, I was in the outer office of leadership of the Army ROTC program - a petite little thing came down to complain about our singing cadences while running on campus in the wee hours of the morning.

After that, we had to drop to just a whisper to keep time when we were on/near sorority row.
