waste of brain matter

Why do I want to carry a firearm for the protection of me and mine? Because the police are too busy dealing with morons like this halfwit.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The sauce for a spicy Italian sandwich was apparently a must have for one Florida man. The man, Reginald Peterson, called 911 twice after a sandwich shop left off the sauce.

Peterson initially called the emergency number Thursday so that officers could have his subs made correctly, according to a police report. The second call was to complain that police officers weren’t arriving fast enough.

Subway workers told police that Peterson, 42, became belligerent and yelled when they were fixing his order. They locked him out of the store when he left to call police.

When officers arrived, they tried to calm Peterson and explain the proper use of 911. Those efforts failed, and he was arrested on a charge of making false 911 calls.

To say this mental midget is a shame to his species and his society would be putting it mildly. I can only hope the city of Jacksonville prosecutes him to the fullest extent of the law, but something tells me that will amount to nothing more than a symbolic wristslap. This is unfortunate, given that the two (or more) police officers who had to respond to the call of this imbecile could have been better used preventing actual crimes and such. It is because of idiots like this man that the adage, “When seconds count, the police are only minutes away,” continues to hold true.
