Sleeplessness

They took his kid's GameBoy.

They took all the Power Rangers videos.

They took the ramen noodles and the boxes of breakfast cereals. They took the half-gallon of milk out of the refridgerator. They took the half-empty jar of salsa. They took the ketchup.

They took the sheets off his bed.

All while he was in the hospital to get a diabetic foot ulcer treated.

Meth/coke heads. Evil psychopaths.

I'm pretty much a Quaker on the death-penalty issue. Like Cuomo says, "death by incarceration." Death in prison. Good enough.

Unless you swipe a kid's toys. The treatment for such dysfunction is probably nothing less than death.
