Sometimes, even the most mild mannered person can be capable of an illegal activity. Today has been one of those "OMG No He Didn't" sort of days. A co-worker, lets call him 'W', is not in today. A little history. 'W' is the nicest guy in the world and does no more wrong than any of us. He has a family, a full time job and is rather quick. Well today we find out that 'W' was involved in commiting a felony. Not just any felony but a felony using the company vehicle.
Let us just say that I am shocked. I would have not ever suspected he would do something that he is being accused of. I would sooner suspect myself of such things before I would have suspected him. I will reserve judgement as to whether he is guilty or not, but the evidence is mounting.
This is a fellow whose family I had sort of become a part of. I have few friends and even fewer black friends, just given where I made friends (most are latino with 2 or 3 white folks thrown in) this is the reality. I honestly am in shock about it. I hope he does not get the book thrown at him. If he is guilty hopefully the charges will be reduced from a felony to petty larcen.
I wish 'W' good luck. Good luck my friend indeed.
