Mobile, AL Sheriff’s Office Puts “Thug Tree” in Lobby

Available at amazon.com and bernesandnoble.com

The Sheriff’s Office in Mobile put a tree in their lobby. Not just any tree, but a “Thug Tree.” It’s adorned with a bunch of mugshots of wanted/fugitive felons. It’s topped off with a pair of orange jail flip-flops.

The Sheriff invites everybody on the tree to turn themselves in. If they do they’ll get fitted for a new suit and matching shoes. Also provided, free meals and a place to lay their weary heads.

Pretty cool, I though. 2 bad guys turned themselves in and are now a guest of the county.

Of course, members of the “ever offended” crowd got their panties in an uproar and demanded the tree be removed. Kinda funny since the comments on their website are running about 9-1 in favor.

Great idea and a way to get felons off the streets. Bon Appetite.

Peace
