Man Arrested For Paying With $1 Million Bill At Wal-Mart

Posted by JacobSloan on January 9, 2012

To you, this may be a case of a mentally ill person at Wal-Mart. However, I see it as highlighting the implicit absurdity of money, and an admirable insistence on defining one’s own reality. Winston-Salem Journal reports:

A Lexington man is accused trying to use a fake $1 million bill to pay for his purchases at a Walmart.

Michael Anthony Fuller, 53, of 3 Parker St., walked into the Walmart on Lowes Boulevard in Lexington on Nov. 17. He shopped for a while, picking up a vacuum cleaner, a microwave oven and other merchandise, totaling $476, an arrest warrant says.

Fuller was later charged with attempting to obtain property by false pretense and uttering a forged instrument, both felonies, court records show. A warrant says of the fake million-dollar bill: “There is no such thing.” The largest bill in circulation is a $100 bill.

Lexington police Sgt. Shannon Sharpe said the case is unusual. “It is kind of strange,” Sharpe said.

That is exactly what I was wondering. You can’t be arrested for trying to spend a note that doesn’t even exist. That is in no way a plausible arrestable offense.

To save time I’ll address this generically:

RE: To random generated constantly changing troll ID #whatever

Yeah sure…whatever. If a crime isn’t a crime when someone is dumb…only when they’re smart…then run with that notion. See how that works out. I’m all in favor of Goldman Sachs getting their nuts handed to them…because I couldn’t give a flying fuck if the thief or fraudster is brilliant or moronic, black or white, gay or straight, male or female, rich or poor. Its a pretty egalitarian, even handed way to view the world. Of course…I suppose I could aspire to see the world as skewed as some do…with “special rules for special people”…which, silly me, was what I thought our problem was now. You’ve just flipped the sides…making it seem like poverty or even stupidity equals a carte blanche for any act no matter what. Last I checked…our problem was that we wound up letting rich, clever people get away with anything. The solution is equal ground and equal treatment…not trying to make bizarro world a reality.

Still…its always possible that he was traumatized. Probably by a lack of blow jobs. As his staunch defender…I suggest you help him with that.

I have TWO million dollar bills, seriously. They have the face of US President Rutherford B. Hayes and a depiction of George Washington and his men crossing the Delaware River on the back. HOWEVER… there is a religious message: two paragraphs, starting with the MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION: WILL YOU GO TO HEAVEN WHEN YOU DIE? They’re just a clever design by some Christian group that will definitely catch you eye. This poor guy was misled because he did not read the whole thing; it even has a disclaimer: ” This note is NOT legal tender for all debts, public and private”.

Actually. There was more than $100 bills at one time. The highest denom EVER, was $100,000. It was NOT in circulation, as it was just a pass-back and forth gold bond certificiate at the Federal Reserve. There is no MILLION dollar bill. Only a retard would press charges of forgery. The real deal doesn’t actually exist. NOW, they could try him for attempted petty theft… to the thinking person’s point of view

The point is to punish the stupid whom usually go against the grain of society via their devolved perception of said society and their opportunities within it.

The society you wish to build unconditionally apologizes to the stupid for being stupid. Meanwhile you believe in unicorns and evil rich white men.

There isn’t much hope for you. That much is evident 2 posts in. I do hope others take notice of how much of a failure you are. I cannot be alone.

I just think capital punishment should always be on the table for blacks. This thing is a poster child for this idea. What the hell else should we do with it?

Death for trying to use a “fake” token of exchange?

Go back to Europe.

He’s just a bit premature! Before long, we’ll be using 1 trillion dollar notes like they are in Zimbabwe!

Let’s see, genetically-psychopathic look of unceasing anger on his face, yep, he’s an above-average black man. He might even have an amazingly high black IQ of 86.
