Innocent Until Proven Guilty: Phillies Fan Gets Nabbed By Security After He "Found" An Entire Tub Of Water Ice
Truth be told, I never went to law school. But as the world renowned philosopher Jay-Z once said, "I ain't pass the bar but I know a little bit". And through my understanding of the law, the Finders, Keepers Act of 1896 prohibits one from getting charged with thievery of an item they came into possession of after finding it themselves. Whether that be through stumbling upon it by happen chance, or purposefully going out searching for an item like Nic Cage in National Treasure. If you find it, you get to keep it. Fair and square.
So while I may not be a "lawyer", I am an American who knows the rights of our people. And this Phillies fan has the right to devour that entire tub of water ice he found at the game yesterday. Free my mans! He ain't do nothing.
Especially considering the Phillies ended up having to play a double-header yesterday. Day games in baseball are great, but they also have the potentially to be miserably hot as a fan in the crowd. Especially if you don't have the luxury of being in a section under the awning. You're just baking in the sun all afternoon. Finding a giant tub of water ice like this could be the difference between life and death. At the very least, life or a vicious case of swamp ass.
How did he find a tub of water ice just sitting out in CBP? We'll never know, but that's none of the law's concern. The last time I checked, this is America. And in America, you have the right to crush whatever water ice you find. To be fair, security then also found the water ice from the kid. So it's their right to keep it as well. But let's just leave the cops out of this one, and keep the positive vibes going.
