a guy broke into my sister's house [View all]

[salinen]

she heard noises downstairs and slowly made her way in the dark to the kitchen where the intruder had turned on the lights. From a distance she could see that he was taking food out of the refrigerator and putting everything on the counter. He was building a sandwich. My sister approached further and he noticed her and asked her where the bread was. She told him and left and called the police and he just finished making his sandwich and sat down and ate it.

He was taken away and later my sister was told by the police that he had once lived in that house, he was retarded, and he just wanted to go home and have a sandwich.

In many American homes that would be a death sentence.
