It was his.

The Ohio Supreme Court suspended an attorney who defecated into a Pringles potato chip can and then tossed it into a parking lot of a crime-victim advocacy center.

Well, poop analysis showed there were wolf hair and pieces of credit card in it. So, still inconclusive.

How do you poop while driving? How do you poop into a Pringles can without missing the can?

[–] ____@infosec.pub 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I understood it as “pre-prepared poop Pringles”

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We keep talking like it was planned but maybe it was a crime of passion.

Passionate pringle pooping.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

There are two types of people in this situation. Those who avoid the speed bumps, and those who target them.

Big Police Squad energy there.

New skill unlocked.

Blakeslee tried to explain away his behavior, saying he hadn’t targeted Haven of Hope. Rather, he claimed, he was indulging a frequent habit of his, having done the deed at least 10 other times that year.

That somehow sounds even worse to me.

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pringles come out, poop goes in. You can't explain that.

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Fucking Pooringles. How do they work?!

This is appropriately posted into au.sports section on yahoo.

The olympics gonna be wild next time.

autistic sports?

The article says he has been practicing law since 1976, if he finished law school at age 25 he is 72 years old.

I don't know what to do with this fact. There is a +72 year old man doing this.

[–] Justas@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Ah the 70-teens

[–] Tygr@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

So many questions I don’t want to know the answers to.

[–] Sdnimm543@slrpnk.net 13 points 2 years ago (6 children)

He DEFICATED in a pringles can! and he gets to be a lawyer? what a sick joke!

[–] rubythulhu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Not just one. The article says he did it at least 10 times previously in that year because throwing pringle poop is a habit he likes to indulge in.

He said this to a judge, to make the point that this was not a directed attack against the people who owned the property, as a legal defense. He just likes to throw pringles cans full of shit into parking lots. this was never about “them”, he just likes to throw poop canisters. What’s the big fucking deal, your honor? i’m just indulging in what makes me happy.

[–] themusicman@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

He threw it out the sunroof!

[–] AFreeLarryHoover@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Came here hoping for some chicanery.

I should've stopped him when I had the chance! And you – you have to stop him! You-

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Saul Goodman.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

and he gets to be a lawyer?

No, title is quite clear that the Piero Manzoni wanna be got suspended.

[–] pslightlypsycho47@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's a reference from Better Call Saul.

[–] Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's some next level Pringles guerilla marketing.

[–] jedibob5@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I know they say all press is good press, but I don't know if Pringles wants their brand to be associated with a cardboard tube full of shit...

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

Always has been.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

As bad as feces is at least it is biodegradable. Even insects and bacteria won't put Pringles into their body.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Pringles: Now they just taste like shit!

[–] TubeTalkerX@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And here I thought this was America, land of the Free…

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You mean America, the land of the heavily propagandized

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The ole Chicago Pringle Can, good one Jimmy!

[–] Exusia@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

He SHIT into a PRINGLES CAN!

[–] ExfilBravo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Slippin' (in shit from a Pringles can) Jimmy.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

What is the world coming to where a man can't poop in a can and toss it out their car window in an act of defiance. Damn Bidens America!!!

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

Did he manage to poop in the can, or was it a two step process? As in he pooped somewhere else and then shoveled the poop into the can?

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago
[–] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Police were suspicious when they noticed the can smelled better than actual Pringles.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago

Sounds cathartic.

[–] kool_newt@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

This isn't news! News would be a Pringles can not full of poop.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Forget the trowing part, I can not stop thinking about this man shitting into a pringles can (I hope that is how he loaded it).

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Whenever I feel bad about myself, an article like this pops up to remind me that despite all my flaws, I’m not the guy throwing faeces in public like some random monkey. Thanks for that.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I’m not the guy throwing faeces>

But you could be.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, but I hear the bar exam is a bitch.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

I bet I can guess this man's politics.
