Where were the children’s parents? Do you just turn your kids loose in a store? I had 4 and kept them by my side at all times when out shopping. You have them - then watch them.
The only thing good about this is that his mugshot has that easily photoshoppable blue background, and that expression is just begging to be mocked.
I believe that to be the, “I’ve just realized I’m going to be spending a long, long, long time in prison” expression.
wishing I would have been there to witness this. Wouldn’t have needed the police to show up. Coroner maybe.
