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.
