He says
there is no way his friend would do such a thing. He was wrong. It was the same "friend". I agree, it's most likely a friend or co-worker. |

They should do to bicycle thieves what they used to do to horse thieves
and cattle rustlers. |

Or you could follow the custom not too long before that time, when hung, drawn, and quartered was not just a figure of speach. I don't think they particularly cared if they got the right guy either, as long as there was an example to keep the peons in line. Sort of like Guantanamo Bay under the Talibush, I would imagine ...

(snip) hung, drawn, and quartered was not just a figure of speach. Save the rope. Just go with the drawing and quartering. (snip snide junk) |

I think you'll find hanging, drawing and quartering postdates the Act of Union. "Drawing" refers to the removal of the intestines; it was done before quartering because quartering was immediately fatal. -- David Damerell flcl? |

I rarely entertain thoughts of revenge. It's enough for me to think about how pathetic this guy's life is, going around breaking into people's houses and stealing stuff. Matt O. |
