Thief Injured Attempting To Steal Copper Wire From School
December 16, 2011 6:34 PM

MIAMI GARDENS (CBS4) – A thief apparently looking to steal copper from
equipment on the roof of a Miami-Dade school fell more than two stories,
a debilitating plunge that left him unable to walk, apparently with a
broken hip or leg.

The hapless Spiderman was captured by security cameras at Charles Wyche
Elementary School in Miami Gardens. He arrives, wearing a ski mask, and
begins to arrange ropes he’s carrying for a climb up the outside wall of
the school to the roof, more than two stories above. Moments later a
second camera angle shows the man falling to the ground – a drop of more
than 25 feet – where he begins to writhe in pain. The intruder dragged
himself out on to a walkway and attempted to stand up, but immediately
fell back down. He then dragged himself on his belly out of the school,
pushing a pair of bolt cutters in front of him.

He'll probably sue the school board for not providing him with proper
equipment and safety devices.

Fu k. That dude is in some serious pain. Too bad he didn't get
electrocuted and thrown off the roof.

Canada has urban areas to mine? I thought it was wheatfields, hockey sticks
and tar sands with a chewy French center called Quebec and designated
dummies known as Newfies who are the butts of dozens of Canadian jokes.

I suppose we shouldn't tease our northern brothers. If global warming turns

Yep. Under the concept of "attractive nuisance." The copper strewn about on
the school-house roof is an almost irresistible draw. It's the same concept
as a child drowned in an un-fenced backyard swimming pool.

At a minimum, the school should have enclosed the roof in razor wire as a
deterrent.

For a few hundred dollars, live(s) could be saved.

Send the thief to a Texas prison where he can work for his keep. I
suppose we'd have to figure the cost of incarceration vs the cost of
the damage the thief can do over his lifetime. If the thief does a
hundred thousand dollars damage a year and it only costs ten thousand
a year to keep him locked up, I guess we should consider that a fair
trade. ^_^

Texas should open more prisons. Seems they could make some real money
charging, say, 10% less than CA prisons do and keep the profit. Maybe just
contract out the management?

Maybe. I'm not sure. I've seen one guy that lived after federal

He never got SSDI, that I'm aware of... :-/

Ugg, yes, he will win. About 20 years ago a high school drop out broke into

place to the tune of over $100k, then decided to go up on the roof. The
moron thought it was a good idea to walk across the glass paned roof over

reached if you broke into the janitor's stairwell leading to that part of
the roof (for maintenance). He not only didn't do any jail time (due to his
injuries!) but he received a judgment of $25k per year plus 100% of his
medical expenses for life! Seriously? I'd have thrown the bum in jail for
life. Oh, and he admits he vandalized the school and was "stoned off his

trial. And insurance typically pays, and sometimes drives, the
settlement. But don't cry for the insurance co execs just yet, they roll
the cost into their actuarial tables and collect it from their policy
holders who pay it from whoever funds them (consumers, taxpayers).

In summary, crime pays.

Judgment. The SOB wanted MILLIONS of $ to settle and the school district was
sure no sane person would give this jerk anything (and they shouldn't have).
The jury awarded only $25K per year plus all medical for life. It was the
medical costs that killed the school district. Sure, the insurance paid, but
their premiums went through the roof!

MIAMI GARDENS (CBS4) €“ The would-be thief who was looking to steal copper
from a Miami-Dade school when he fell and injured himself was arrested.

The man, identified as 21-year-old Anthony Luis Pepitone, fell more than
two stories ...

.... Pepitone was booked on Saturday, a day after his birthday, which is
on December 16.

He is facing eight counts of burglary among other charges, including
criminal mischief.

Given the name, he could be of Haitian decent. Sounds like a Haitian
name. Kind of Frenchie.

Miami is full of people with funny names.

Thief Injured Attempting To Steal Copper Wire From School

Allegedly!

I heard a local reporter at a scene where ambulances were scene carting away
wounded people: "Seven people were shot in the alleged incident." I don't
think they treat victims of "alleged" incidents. That's like the old joke,
if a plane crashes on the US-Canadian border, where do they bury the
survivors?

Almost as funny/sad as a show about animals near the Artic circle that said
they live in "crucifyingly cold" temperatures. There's SO much wrong with
that analogy I don't know where to start.

Might be the grandson of Joe Pepitone, major league baseballer for the NY
Yankees when I was growing up. He was born in America but his parents came
from Sicily. He ended up playing in Japan when his MLB career was over and
missed so many game for alleged illness that "Pepitone" now means "Goof Off"
in Japan. Found this interesting little item in Wiki:

Pepitone spent four months at Rikers Island jail in 1988 for two
misdemeanor drug convictions after he and two other men were arrested on
March 18, 1985, in Brooklyn after being stopped by the police for running a
red light in a car containing nine ounces of cocaine, 344 quaaludes, a
free-basing kit, a pistol and about $6,300 in cash.Coverage of the story by
WOR-TV (Channel 9) in the New York area featured clips of an incredulous
Pepitone declaring, "I didn't know cocaine was illegal", and his brother
Vinnie, a New York City detective, staunchly defending his character. He was
released from jail on a work-release program when Yankee owner George
Steinbrenner offered him a job in minor-league player development for the
team.

9 OUNCES? A misdemeanor? Only if you're famous and your brother is a
detective.

You're evil, Dufe. (-: You know that Canadians are perfectly made in

one of their retired hockey enforcers to beat it into you. Imagine a
man
living in the land of cannibal bus drivers complaining about a little
copper
"recycling." The true tragedy is that he will likely go on Medicaid or
be
treated in a prison hospital, sending taxpayers the bill . . .

Send the thief to a Texas prison where he can work for his keep. I
suppose we'd have to figure the cost of incarceration vs the cost of
the damage the thief can do over his lifetime. If the thief does a
hundred thousand dollars damage a year and it only costs ten thousand
a year to keep him locked up, I guess we should consider that a fair
trade. ^_^

I like the Arizona sheriff's method - put them in pink jumpsuits and make
them live in tents. If they want to eat, they have to work growing their
own food.

I've always thought that someone is pretty much who they are going to be for
the rest of their lives by the time they are six or seven. If their parents
are thieves and welfare cheats, that's who they are going to be, too.
That's why I am so much in favor of taking kids away from criminal parents
at a very early age before their parents have had time to stamp their
identities on their offspring.

While it's not a popular sentiment among my liberals friends, I think if you
take those kids out of homes where there's no father, no work income and no
work ethic early enough in life, you can prevent them from growing up to
just like their larcenous and lazy parents. The sad truth is that it's
easier for two career criminals to make a baby that's going to be a burden
to society than it is for them to buy a car.

that maricopa county sheriff joe aripiyo may be going off to jail
himself he appears to be beaking a bunch of laws.

i guess they would have to keeop him in segregation for his own
safety. segregation being solitary confinement

Or, maybe, the liberals and socialists want him taken out? So, they are
making a lot of false accusations? Would not be the first time liberals made
false accusations.

None! Any penologist can be investigated and sued in federal court.
Most suits are frivolous Beating a prisoner with a clinched fist does
not equate to brutality. Or a civil rights violation. BTDT and have a
tee-shirt to prove it.

First he has to be indicted for a crime, and convicted. I think to
poster means the federal government will house him "behind the down
under" and feed him "swill". LMAO!
