  1. Kathleen Sebelius   15 years ago

    Mr. Gillespie, inform your readers that there will be zero tolerance for this type of misinformation.

    1. Please Die   15 years ago

      Die, bitch! Die!

  2. Jim   15 years ago

    This is so inaccurate. There's no room for thieves and murderers. The third guy would be joined by one who smoked a joint and another who was carrying a gram of weed.

    1. Snowball   15 years ago

      And of course the person who didn't know he was buying TOO much cold flu pills.

  3. jtuf   15 years ago

    What would happen if enough people refused to buy the mandated healthcare as a civil disobedience?

  4. Alan Kellogg   15 years ago

    At least he wasn't littering.

  5. NoStar   15 years ago

    As an inmate, that dude will receive government funded health care.

    Isn't that what Obama and Pelsoi wanted?
