Taking Money from Girl Scouts

In today's Washington Post is an article about a vile scumbag female who made off with over $4,000 in proceeds from the sale of Girl Scout cookies. Because of the theft, Troop 1868 won't be able to go on their planned trip to Hershey Park. I don't think it's out of the question to wish her tazed until dead.

First, just on the surface, it's heinous to participate (with her daughter) in the time-honored tradition that is selling cookies, to raise money for a special event, then skip town and rob the girls of that hard earned field trip. It's also theft and should be reported to the police and prosecuted as such; however, the Girl Scout Council of the Nation's Capital are treating it like

...the many tens of thousands of dollars of bad debt that accumulates each year after their annual cookie sale: through a collect agency. (Washington Post)

Yeh, that'll work. The thief is - surprise, surprise - nowhere to be found, so um, how are you gonna get the money back? Essentially the Council is writing off the theft. So, the asshead is going to get away scot-free with her transgression, at the expense of some Girl Scouts. Aren't you boiling mad?

This story hit a nerve here at Ergonomic Zesterverse because in my youth I 1) was a Girl Scout who 2) sold cookies (thanks Mom for buying most of them!) and 3) went on trips to Hershey Park. Fortunately, we didn't have assheads who robbed us, just responsible Troup Leaders and helper Mommies who took us camping and other wonderful Scouting fare.

A pox on your head, foul robber of little girls' earnings! Shame, shame!
