At times there are stories about an American judge showing some sense for original thinking when coming up with some innovative sentencing. Sometimes I agree with it, sometimes I think it goes beyond the line. In this case I find myself hoping for a legal initiative that supports this shopowner's solution. "What's the difference between him saying, 'Give me $20 and I won't call the police' or 'Give me your shoe?'", said that police Captain. I suggest the Captain comes over here so that I can thoroughly explain it to her.
