    Alabama sheriff legally used more than $750,000 of funds meant to feed inmates to purchase a beach house; he said he is following a state law passed before World War II http://cbsn.ws/2tYVxpo pic.twitter.com/4wMsoJ2aOu

        Time to let him “live” in a state owned house and eat inmate food for 20 years.

        Twisting the law for personal gain is unethical- he should be removed from office and the house taken by the state since the state paid for it.

        So even if there was a law older than your parents nobody said you had to exploit it, Mister corrupt sheriff from central casting.

        List the address we’ll all go over for Memorial Day Weekend for a cookout and a demonstration against fat pig politicians who steal from tax payers. Chris Christy likes the beach he can flip the burgers.

        Are they interpreting the law correctly? Was this money supposed to go back to the department or to the sheriff for personal use? Is it like a bonus for good budget management?

        Just because something is legal doesn’t mean it’s ethical.

        Why do these things keep happening in Alabama? There are some really decent folks there, why do they keep turning a blind eye to law enforcement failure, legal failure, judicial failures? Torture, racism, misogyny, is this really the legacy of Alabama?
