I SAID no eating candy.

Read this here.

And also,

Heres the real question:
Who the fuck eats PAYDAY candy bars, huh??
nasty...
she is clearly a terrorist, because no real American would eat such a shit candy bar.

Snickers is my co-pilot

I read that in the Post today. Metro transit officers are pretty hardcore about enforcing the rules. DC residents know this. It was excessive, but it probably wouldn't have happened had the woman not mouthed off to the officer.

Edited to say this isn't a dig at Clara.

Eating candy give you character . . . and cavities, too!

Perhaps they need to hire more unemployed sanitation workers and maker fewer silly laws.

Just watching the DNC now, it sounds like Washington, D.C. residents need more equal representation to defend themselves from nonsense like this.

P.S. Paydays are O.K., but Snickers are better.

She's lucky we didn't have the Patriot Act back then. That girl would have been shipped off to Guantanamo Bay for being anti-Bush today.

I can sure as shit tell you you can't drink beer on the Metro. Not even on superbowl sunday.

Though, after detention and the holding area filling up with a gang of piss drunk hell bent for blood 49ers fans who had, evidently, been beating up random strangers in celebration, I was finally cited for drinking "A Coke", ticketed, and released.

80 dollar ticket, though. And handcuffs.

The headline is misleading. It's meant to be senbsational and lure you in so you read the story. Mission Accomplised.

The way I read it was that she called attnetion to herself by eating on her way into the station. The officer told her to finish before entering the station...then probably followed her to see if she was going to do anything else.

Here is where she made her mistake: "Don't you have some other crimes you have to take care of?" Willett said she told the officer.

Up until that point, she probably would have been left alone. The cop would have most likely just follower her a little then moved onto the next person.

Police are trained to notice things out of the ordinary. They don't like when things don't go as they're supposed to. If there's no eating allowed in the subway, and a cop notices someone eating on their way into the subway...their training dictates that they follow the coming sequence of events.

Then...she allegedly refused to show ID. Mistake #2

Ok now....I am not unaware that police over-react at times. However...too many of you have problem distinguishing between "The way it is" and "The way it should be".

I have been in the situation before myself. I've had to sit there and bite my tounge and eat a shit sandwich while some cop chastized me for something rediculous. It's degrading...I understand this. That's not "The way it should be" But, if you mouth off you call attention to yourself and you give them a reson to fuck with you.

If you really feel the need to do it...just realize that you're going to get in trouble...while the person who was able to control themself and sit through the over-reacting cop's speech without mouthing off is most likely going to walk away with a warning.

The police were right, that could have been a candy bar of doom.

I saw a guy get handcuffed on the orange line once for drinking coffee.

Well... It might not have been that he was drinking coffee... It might have been that he was acting like an asshole, and when the officer told him he wasn't allowed to eat or drink in the station, he poured the coffee out right there on the platform.

i didn't realize that the last bite of payday was a threat to your national security.

if i was told politly to trash the food item because it was not allowed i would be more than happy to oblige, but if some asshole jock cop or security gaurd just started trying to handcuff and detain me there would be major violence. i would have to pull a neo and fight to the death....fucking bastards.

When you eat at the subway platform, you eat with Osama bin Laden.

I hope some of you are being facetious.
