So Does She Have to Pay, Too? A FIU Point/Counterpoint

POINT [Rob] - The runaway bride had to fork out a fat paycheck for going walkabout. What about this one? Thoughts? COUNTERPOINT [Hood] - I'd say only if she filed false reports and lied to authorities. Obviously there are differences. The [coincidentally enough] Texas A&M student didn't want to be found and wasn't found for over seven years. The runaway bride eventually did turn herself in but then made shit up. That runaway bride ho also has crazy zany eyes. Looney tune eyes... I'd also claim statute of limitations for the bad-grades-screw-yall-I'm-out chick. Both are bad decision makers for sure. The Sam's Club girl gave up a top notch education to... work at Sam's Club. To each their own, I suppose. POINT Duex [Rob] - True, the bug-eyed Georgia chick lied to police. However, the manhunt happened before the false reports. She's being made to pay for the manhunt. Whatever fines or jail time she aquires due to the "the evil mexican and white woman did it" statement is all her's but prior to that was there a crime? I don't think so. If anyone should be jacking with the runaway bride it should be the police in New Mexico but they wisely took a pass on that, even though that's where the statements were made. So, the only reason to prosecute is to make her pay for the lost manpower and time. If that's the case, then the Aggie Sam's runaway cashier of the month should have a large bill to pay. The Texas Rangers aren't cheap after all they signed A-Rod to that big deal have a lot of police work to do. COUNTERPOINT [Hood] - I can understand your point, Rob. I really can. By the Zany-eyes Bride standard, everyone who leaves without leaving a note should be fined upon being found. Not a good precedent at all. But here's the litmus test: Eyes like this - ... Prosecute the shit out of 'em. Normal eyes - ... Live and let live. Because, let's be honest, she's about to inspire wave #452,981 of Aggie jokes. Update - Also, from the Bryan-College Station Eagle, the phrase "I don't give a diddly-tinker's damn..." appears in print. For maybe the first time ever. Can we blame her for running?
