I kind of feel sorry for him just because it’s obvious he’s probably got some sort of issues.

So you don’t make an unobtrusive glance for cameras and key it?

It was a dewy night and somebody threw flour on my car. It was also a long night followed by a hot day so I didn’t figure it out until it was baked on. It took years to wash it off.

Was this some bizarre and poorly executed scheme for Suicide by Cop?

We slag someone when he tries to make everything about him, and then we make a thread that’s not about him, about him. Oh, what the hey! I’ll pile on: The reason he had to call the cops 12 times was because at 2 am, all the cops were busy extracting drunk drivers out of their crashed cars and getting them to the ER before they died of torn aortas…or something like that.

But seriously, the guy’s mug shot makes me think he has a lot more bothering him than illegally parked cars. I hope he has someone who cares enough about him to make sure he gets a psych eval.

You can save wallet space – they can punch you in the face and then they can count the bruises.
