We were at a truck stop in Porter, Indiana. As we pulled up to the pump, a big Ford pickup with the crew cab was pulling away. It had W-04 and Free Republic stickers on it.
I pumped my gas, using the on-pump credit card reader, and went inside for a coffee.
The fellow at the register said, you;re pump six, right? I replied "Yes." And he said "Thirty two-50 on gas..." and started ringing it up!
"I said whoa! I paid at the pump, and have the receipt right here... And no way you could put $30 in gas into a Prius! It has a ten gallon tank!"
So I described the drive-off truck to him, but didn't note the license except that it was Indiana tags. He called the cops...
So is this the sort of way Freepers and W supporters deal with high gas prices????
Criminals the lot of them, I say.

You're right because when a person from a minority group commits a crime, the freeps blame the entire race.

3. when I first read your post |
|
I wanted to say that "you can't classify an entire political party as being full of criminals because of the actions of one man" and then I thought, "Wait, I should be saying this to the freepers and not to my fellow liberal." I be smart:7

4. wonder if he did it on purpose, or if he was just plain dumb |
|
never can tell. There's so many motivations for both....
LEAST UNLIKELY REASON: Going to U.S. Army recruiting office to sign up for *'s war and pay for that gas with his own blood.

6. Too dumb to remember to pay??? |
|
Not even a freeper is that stupid.
Nope, this guy meant to steal that gasoline. Which is stupid enough as, if you get caught, the Indiana justice system is no fun!

picture it. Its about 10 degrees out, right (my uncle lives in Carmel, that's what he said it was yesterday)? You hit the pay inside. You're filling your 30 gallon tank, shivering your ass off. When it's done, you're so eager to get warm you go in your car and drive off instead of going in to pay.
aw fuck... it's to convoluted. He's just a fucktard.

5. I'm beginning to think that "right-wing hypocrisy" is redundant. |
|
Kinda like "Miami Vice." :evilgrin:

|
at the freeper website by saying the windows at the gas station were filled with Kerry/Edwards posters.

11. Whereas that wouldn't have been farther from the truth... |
|
This is your typical Indiana truck stop.
Next on the list for this thug? Probably using his second amendment rights to knock over a liquor store!
