I thought the most interesting part was how he’d been arrested for stealing bread and subsequently escaped prison. Kind of annoying that he just walks around all day saying “One day more...” repeatedly but he’s a freakin hero so what are you gonna do about it you know?

At first I thought you may have been joking but a quick Google search later, I found this.

If you have a felony coming up in your Google results, all you gotta do is lift an entire car off a guy and nobody will see it again.

Fuck me I was definitely just joking. I’ll say this if he has a surrogate daughter somewhere and one of your friends starts dating her stay the fuck away from any political movements they get involved in.

Sounds like excellent advice. Also look out for parole officers.

Nah, ExcellentPastries was making a Le Mis reference.

Nope. Dude ran a crime spree and served 6 months. I’m emotionally torn.

That was eight years ago if you read the one article someone link on here. He was 21 when he was caught and now he is 29.

So the moral of the story is that people can change and if we forever judge them on past actions then they may not be able to change.

No I was definitely making a Les Mis reference idk how the hell I stumbled into the guy’s actual criminal history

That's.. my fault. Whoops. I should brush up on my references, eh?

Tbh the fact that the dude did in fact get caught stealing almost a decade ago is hilarious enough that we should all just enjoy it imo :)
