Prosecution has to happen in the jurisdiction where the alleged crime took place. You couldn't put together a jury that would convict in that situation, and the voters wouldn't re-elect any states attorney that brought charges under those circumstances. Bottom line, there is ZERO chance any criminal charges will be brought, so why waste your breath saying they should be?
Bottom line, mechanical issues delayed the truck with much needed supplies. Receiver closed up shop and wouldn't reopen until AFTER the demand for the product on the truck had passed. Sure, the truck COULD have laid over, but the storm would've ripped the tarps off and the load would've been damaged beyond what Home Depot could have reasonably sold AFTER the storm had passed. By offloading, the driver was able to get himself out of harm's way, the people in that community were able to secure their homes, and nobody lost anything that wouldn't have been lost anyway had the truck just rode out the storm.WesternPlains and Chasingthesky Thank this. -
So, the rescheduling was arranged and the driver didn't like it...he didn't want to sit on the load for a few days. So, he found a way to get rid of it that suit him better...stole the cargo, gave it away, and whines on facebook. (Betting he sold it)
He did wrong, plain and simple. There was no emergency. Home Depot had enough plywood, that's why they rescheduled for after the storm. -
So this is why the moderator merged these two threads.
