No, they rapped their order, refused to move through the line - and then ran off. They were cited (not arrested, mind you. No jail involved, just a citation) LATER in a totally different location after the store reported their license plate number to the police.

2: They rapped thier order. That's why they got cited and couldn't pay for their order.

Again, they rapped their order, took a bunch of time doing it - then left without paying. Citation is later. I`m sure they had a good laugh and thought they would never get in trouble.

I don't endorse the "do what you want" attitude for anyone because then people are gonna do practically anything. MMM, they rapped an order. For society to just cite them for that is just stupid. I thought that you would be on my side. Why aren't you??

I`m not MMM, but I am fairly sure I share his opinion.
We all agree that what they did
was not right, yes? If something like this is not right, then it is
wrong. Even if it wasn`t that big of a deal, it is still not right. There are tons of things that aren`t really that big of a deal but which are still wrong.
Normally, when someone does something wrong, there is some kind of punishment involved.
I fail to see how there should be NO punishment even though they did something wrong. I think there is a lot of confusion about the level of punishment they received, which is MAYBE the cause of the shock being shown... But still. They were given a citation, which is a minor fine, ranking somewhere below a parking ticket and somewhere above a verbal warning. No arrests, no jail, etc. This is the same level as having a noisy party and having the police give you a citation for disturbing the peace by keeping people up with the music. It isn`t a death sentence.
They got a minor but official punishment for a minor, but still
illegal, action.
