"I've always dependend on the kindness of strangers--uhm sorry that kindness got you arrested."

This post dates back to March of this year, when Oregon was making national news not only for the conduct of its football team in the off-season, but also for this strange case of "criminal kindness," as illustrated on the front page of the local paper:

Some people are rude, some people are indifferent, some people are nice, and then some people try so hard to be nice that you want to throttle their throats and tell them to get a reasonable grasp of the world we live in by following the national news or occasionally driving outside of Oregon. The latter group of people are those who live in Eugene. Apparently the police officer who arrested this guy feels the same way, as an altercation ensued when he caught this "parking meter fairy" plugging the meters of strangers in an effort to ease the pain brought on by the recent recession.
