If it's one thing the right wing media/militias, tea party kooks and right wing anti-govt types are good at, it's riling up the gullible!
...A construction worker refilled his drink in a VA cafeteria instead of paying 89 cents. He was caught and received a ticket to Federal District Court. The fine was $500.
The VA reviewed the matter and let him off with a warning. But he was not allowed back on the VA campus so he lost his job.

It's about a free-loader, just like Bundy, who knew the rules, repeatedly broke them, got caught after thumbing his nose at the cafeteria and now expects to get off by making this thing go viral. People get tickets EVERY DAY and don't make an issue of it. It's just bad luck on his part that he chose to steal on federal property. This fool thinks he's special and is trying to sway public sentiment to his side. Consider the $525 a life lesson and move on.
How much does the VA spend annually on 89cent refills?
Soft drink refills could be costing this nation billions!
Where did the federal government get it's land?
Looks like the land was inhabited by the Edisto/Cusabo indian tribe.
Why didn't the VA have the soda fountain in an area, where only the cafeteria staff would have access to those delicious refills?
This is just another federal plot to bleed the working man's wallet.

I always ask if there's free refills, never assuming there is! Though, I think they should have confronted him first, and given him a chance to pay for the drink.

Who is paying for the VA Patient's refill... is it Uncle Sam, and the U.S. taxpayer?
