What's Just Punishment In Muffin Caper?

LET THEM SEE THE REAL RESULTS

Re: "Jail time for a muffin prank? Surely they must be joking," by 
James Ragland, Monday Metro.

What should the punishment be for the tainted-muffins caper? Here's a 
suggestion: Let the two young men perform community service during 
their summer vacation.

Assign them work as orderlies in any drug rehabilitation center or 
mental hospital that treats people who may have thought (as Joseph 
Tellini and Ian Walker did) that casual drug use was fun and games 
and harmless. Let them clean up the waste, mop up the vomit and help 
restrain people who are out of control.

Maybe then reality will sink in: Drugs are not funny, and 
irresponsible acts have consequences.
