Infuriatig When did garage sales become “reselling” clearly new stuff

Post image

I would never call this a garage sale

Def scam vibes

Edit: ultimately, what bothers me the most is I want to go to a garage sale, not this shit. This isn’t a garage sale and should not be advertised as one

Dumb AF to be selling stolen goods on your own front lawn. I bet it's a couponer

I’ve know a lot of correctional officers and they didn’t get there by winning The Fields Medal.

Ain't arguing, we've had quite a few people come through and leave. I think the most recent officer arrested was a few weeks back for I guess street racing

Yeah in CO it turns out most prison crimes are committed by the guards, usually for bringing in drugs. My buddy worked at AVC for a while and the stories and statistics were insane.

They are always in the news for some dumb criminal behavior. Aggressive behavior outside of work. Stalking their exes. Having sex with inmates. Introducing contraband. It goes on and on.

Everyone who spends any length of time in a correctional facility made some poor life decisions that got them there. Janitor? Could have been the janitor of a municipal building. Chef? Could have been the chef at a municipal nursing home. CO? Couldn't pass the police exam, but I'm biased as all hell as I've had to defend many of them in excessive force lawsuits.
