Dastardly Holiday Crime Does Not Pay

It isn’t all cheer when it comes to holidays. Sometimes, people resort to opportunism when faced with our merciful deeds. Such people include Charles Everett Hinton, who stole donated consoles from children cancer patients, but was luckily apprehended later on.

But this next story goes just one small fiendish step further, when faced with an easily solved moral dilemma: A man, 37-year-old Jody Lynn Bennett of Mentcle Pa., saw his opportunity to desecrate and steal a Game Boy, Game Boy Light and three cartridges from a corpse. When 17-year-old Bradley “Boog” David-McCombs Jr. was killed in an SUV accident on Christmas, his family was planning to send him off with his Nintendo handheld. It is then, during a public viewing of Boog’s casket, that Bennett lifted the items and ran off after being confronted by family members of the fallen victim.

Luckily, like the previous story, good prevailed in the end and Bennett was apprehended on Wednesday, after a kind soul made an anonymous tip. He is currently in jail with charges of theft, abuse of a corpse, and intentional desecration of a venerated object, after failing to post bail set to $15,000. Bennett’s family admits that he had been suffering from substance abuse and apologizes for his lesser behavior.

It’s hard to not get angry and go "Come on!"  when hearing such low acts being done at our most fragile state. Yours truly has picked up some articles where the journalistic integrity was ‘lesser,’ so to say. Hereby, let us all try to focus on the fact that justice has been served and crime does not pay, without having to lower ourselves.

Enjoy your holidays and the time with your families and please, be safe.
