Perhaps soft-on-crime, criminal-coddling LA District Attorney George Gascón could learn a lesson from this story. Do the crime, pay the time. But in this case, the perp was not sentenced to the Big House – instead, she was sentenced to working two months at a Chipotle franchise for throwing a burrito bowl in the face of an employee. We’re seeing so much bad behavior going unpunished in this country – unless you were a Jan. 6 rioter, it seems as if you can get away with virtually anything – but an Ohio judge saw things differently: Rosemary Hayne, 39, was captured on camera hurling a bowl of chicken burrito at Emily Russell, 26, the store manager at a Chipotle in Parma, Ohio, in September. Hear hear! Finally a judge who gets it. I’m guessing he wasn’t financed by George Soros, who probably would have awarded the abusive customer with a medal. Here’s the convicted customer’s tantrum, caught on tape:
Just disgusting behavior, the type we’ve been seeing all too much of lately, from whacko plane passengers to nuts in the city park. What’s behind this rise in appalling manners is a growing acceptance of it by the legal system and by too much of the general public—oh, the poor person must have emotional scars, or they must have had a rough upbringing. Too bad, lady, sling my burrito and add extra cheese and sour cream. I’m not interested in why you behaved that way—it’s simply not acceptable. Judge Gilligan agreed. This is how it went down:
But then he drops the real kicker: "I bet you won't be happy with the food you are going to get in the jail," he said. BOOM. That's how you do it. The poor worker who was subjected to this abuse, Emily Russell, was initially pretty traumatized by the event but has been touched by the support from the community and the public at large: Awful behavior has sadly all too often become the norm, but this judge wasn’t having it. Good for him. I hope Emily Russell goes on to great things. This is part of a series about everyday heroes that don’t necessarily make the front pages. It’s a chance to talk about something other than Joe’s mumblings and Hunter’s depravity. I’m inviting readers to send me stories of people they know or who they’ve read about who have done heroic acts—large or small, physical or otherwise—that have made someone’s life better or saved them from danger.
