Question 1 : You\’re a 24-year old single man, you have a romantic interest in a 17-year old girl down the street. What do you do?
A) She\’s not legal, forget it, find someone your age
B) Wait until she\’s 18 before doing anything
C) Approach her about your interest…after having purchased a bullet proof vest in case her father objects.
D) Cut off her dogs head and anonymously leave it in a gift-wrapped box on her front door
Answer : If you answered D, chances are you\’re the guy the St. Paul Police just arrested. Or at least one would like to believe there are not more people like this out there.
Even in murder cases, I\’m not a supporter of the death penalty, but cases like this sure make me wish I believed otherwise.
Due to an update in the case, I\’ll add an extra credit question
Question 2 : You\’re a 24-year old man, your 17-year girlfriend has broken off the relationship a couple weeks ago. What do you do?
A) Forget it, she was only 17 anyway!
B) Forget it man, you\’re too good for her. Plenty of fish in the sea and all that.
C) Feel sorry for yourself, and commit suicide
D) Try to win her back by cutting off her dogs head and anonymously leave it in a gift-wrapped box on her front door. Appear the hero by offering to buy her another one.
Answer : If you\’re the guy that did D, the rest of the world would like to request that next time, you choose option C.

Personally I agree with the guys at Anti-Strib, even death would be too good for him. I\’m really struggling here not to suggest Mob justice.
