Out-Of-Control Small-Town Power-Tripper Of The Day

Thank God the crime wave was stopped in time!!!

Hat tip to Patrick at Popehat, of whose comments one in particular stands out. From the original article:

Couldn't Wolfensohn have simply told the boys that they needed a license, the parents want to know, instead of calling the police?

"In hindsight, maybe I should have done that, but I wasn't sure if I was allowed to do that," he said. "The police are trained to deal with these sorts of issues."

Patrick's response can't be improved upon:

Actually, and to their credit, the police of New Castle, New York are not trained to deal with the issue of thirteen year old boys selling unlicensed cookies and snacks.
