A story was once related to me about an old timer on the wagon who gets waved down by a citizen stating a man was eating a pigeon in an alley. Him and his rookie partner go to location and sure enough, a very large man is sitting in the alley, half way finshed with a pigeon. Blood, feathers and tissue stuck to his face and lips. He takes another bite when the old timer asks him, "whats going on..." The man stops for a moment and looks at the old timer, and says with a straight face, "I'm eating my chicken dinner, officer, what does it look like?" The old timer knows that this could be a very bad situation and thinking quickly responds, "Is that chicken from Harolds?" "Nah, ain't as juicy as Harolds". "If I had some money I'd of gotten a Harold's #3 with a big coke" "This sh*t is really dry". As the man takes another bite, the old timer directs his partner to walk over to Harold's Chicken and get the #3 meal and large coke. As the partner walks away the man say's to the old timer, "You buying me dinner officer, thats nice of you. But I can't pay you back..." The old timer still thinking on his feet says, "I only ask you to eat it in the back of the wagon, the alderman has a bug up his a$$ about the rat problem, and he believes that eating in alleys is the main culprit." "No problem officer, if you bring me the #3 with a coke, I'll eat it anywhere you tell me. I don't want to get you in trouble with your boss for just being nice to me." The partner brings back the food and drink, the man smiles at the old timer, stands up, and walks into the back of the wagon. The old timer asks him to discard the remains of the "dry chicken" on the ground, gives him his #3 and coke and locks the door.
True story. The guy had murdered three people twenty years before, but was found to be insane. That is why I try not to judge, no two situations are ever the same.
