Dinnertime post: the Scatological Rites of Burglars

[PCIntern]

Much has legitimately been made of the fact that piles of feces were found in various places following the Insurrection of 2021. I have a citation and a story:

When I was a student, a classmate lived in a nice apartment in West Philly on the ground floor. He came home from class and found his abode ransacked. On his bed the thief had taken a giant dump.

The police detective told him that it is not unusual for this to occur, that the thief is either so excited by his score that he craps spontaneously or that he willfully intended to defile the scene.

I came upon the above article which you have to register to read BUT IT’S WORTH IT! Fascinating reading and will broaden your horizons immeasurably.

1. There was shit everywhere at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge left by the occupiers

"The Oregon standoff is over but militia left something on the refuge: their poop

The militia left behind ‘significant amounts of human feces’ and dug trenches filled with waste on grounds that contained sensitive Native American artifacts"

2. I continue to feel strongly that many members of the human race are a waste of air.

3. My house was burgled years ago, and they shit on my guest bed!

I'm thinking that maybe one was standing on the bed on lookout and just had to go. They also got food out of the fridge, and dumped a bunch of stuff on the floor.

Didn't realize that this was a common thing. How odd.

4. On the bed seems personal. Like the thief knew him in some way.

Neighbor, classmate.

That said - I have heard people will do that during a burglary.

Insult to injury.

It's also DNA, so...

Crap away, crooks. Crap away.
