Imagine if this guy lived in your neighborhood?

I know! I know! .... College Heights is just no longer a safe place to be! All those stores. All that temptation!!

Wonder where he lives. Hopefully not too close to me. I mean these people are capable of anything. Television today. My car sitting in the driveway tomorrow.

Gonna talk to my neighbours about closing off the ends of the street and putting in a gated community. Time to take some action. Nobody else is doing anything.

Word on the street is that he actually did not want the TV. He was after a laptop, but they did not have the right colour.

Time for a National Baton Registry

public flogging may discourage this type of behavior.

absolutely right ervboy,a public flogging would be the answer for these pieces of rubbish that can get away with this type of thing with just a slap on the wrist.

If he stole the TV, wouldn't he have to have to get a job to pay for the cablevision? Then whoever hires him probably would know he was a TV thief. Don't add that to my resume, eh? Hmmmm? Not quite clear on the concept, are they?

Another baton! Ha, wonder how many people yielding batons are in PG this week. Sounds like a familiar tool for the average bloke to be carrying. 2 + 2 = ???

Suspicion is a good place to start with someone already caught with a weapon that is not regular issue for the average citizen.

Let's see where else we may place this particular individual in recent weeks where a baton was used?

That was my first thought too Chester...

I'm puzzled? I've never seen a baton for sale anywhere. It's easier to get a pistol.

How about a 14" long piece of 1.5" wood dowelling with a cord loop threaded through a hole drilled in one end? Does that constitute a baton? Or a perfectly legal fish bonker, with the cord loop, is that also a baton? Is that a baton in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Sorry, having trouble with the concept of an illegal baton.
