In a world of wierd things this one rates rather high; a Florida man was arrested in East St. Louis for throwing an old toilet through a plate glass window of the East st. Louis Board of Education.
Apparently his motives remain unclear.
I suppose he was making a rather strong statement about his feelings toward the school district.
From the Belleville News Democrat:
Toliver is accused of throwing an old toilet through the front glass window of School District 189’s Board of Education building in the 1000 block of State Street, police said. When officers arrived on the scene, they were told the man who threw the toilet had fled.
Later, officers found Toliver sitting on another old toilet on the corner of 11th and Cleveland streets, the post said. He was arrested and placed in police custody, where he remained Wednesday night. His bail was $10,000.
Why a guy would leave Florida for East St. Louis is unclear. But why lug an old toilet around to break windows? Wouldn't a brick suffice? There are a lot of crumbling buildings in East St. Louis (America's answer to war-torn Moghidishu).
Insanity seems to be the order of the day in post-modern America.
