Sneaking into Porter's dining hall poses a risk.
Sneaking into Porter's dining hall poses a risk.
Imagine your sitting in the dining hall - enjoying a meal. Then something happens.
A man walks up and says you need to pay for damaged property.
You don't know what he's talking about.
And he says, "the fence". The one behind Porter Dining Hall.
The fence that's been broken for months.
The fence they JUST repaired.
Workers point fingers at you, and you still don't get it. I mean, you entered LEGALLY. And you didn't break any fence.
So what's going on?
Then you're surrounded like a dying corpse in the desert - vultures on all sides. Keith Landrum - the Porter College Maintenance worker - grabs your back pack.
He says, "If you want it back, call the cops." Then he laughs - like this is funny. You fail to see the humor.
Another worker calls the police.
Someone says there's a witness - watching you break the fence LAST WEEK.
Last week?
You think about it.
And you remember the time you jumped the fence to sneak in. The porch doors were locked, so you turned around and jumped back over. Last week you didn't even get THE CHANCE to break the law, unless climbing a fence is illegal. Or maybe that's trespassing. Who knows. They have laws to screw you no matter what side of the fence your on.
But it's been broken for months. The hole in the lattice work is well known to people who've been sneaking in since August - or maybe even longer.
Unfortunatly the workers aren't listening to you. They don't care. They have your back pack.
And another thing: The cops are on their way.
So you have a decision: 'Material posessions' or 'personal freedom'.
What do you do?
Today - a Tuesday - the person wrongly accused in this REAL incident ran. Out the front door.
The back pack was stolen from him.
It was handed to the police.
And the moral to this story is: If you're going to sneak in, don't break the fence. Through incompetance, complete idiocy, and horribly drawn conclusions, the Porter staff will take it out on someone else.
