An Idaho woman is facing federal charges and possible jail time after refusing to pay for a soda and then dumping it on a counter. U.S. Attorney Tom Moss plans to bring two charges against Natalie Walters, 39, stemming from an incident at the Boise Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and if convicted, she could face up to six months in federal prison. Give me a break!!
Walters, who routinely takes her father to the Boise hospital for treatment, said there is no posted price for soda refills at the center's cafeteria, and she's typically charged between $1 and $1.50 for filling her mug. In Auguest of thisi year, she was charged $3.80, which lead to the dispute and Walters dumping the soda on the cafeteria counter.
Am I crazy here or has our government become completely intolerant of everything that is happening in this country. I understand the lady's frustration, and frankly, I probably would have seriously thought about chucking the drink into the guys face, but she should have taken a step back, walked over to the drink machine, got a cup, poured the soda into the cup, placed it on the counter and told the manager that he could drink it and walked out. Unfortunately, she has somehow managed to give this clown, U.S. Attorney Moss, something that he can stay up at nights, acting like a giddy school girl, planning his attack on her in court. For the love of Pete, if this guy hasn't got anything better to do with his time, then there are too many U.S. Attorneys and we need to lay at least half of them off. Taxpayer money wasted on frivolous horse hockey like this, good grief!!
