There are times when I despair about my fellow Americans. How can we be so dumb, so awful? But if I ever need a pick-me-up, the answer is simple: look at everybody else, and we don’t seem so bad.

Consider: there was a marathon in London. As is traditional for such events, there are “watering stations” along the route where runners can grab a bottle of water. And what I guess must be in the best tradition of St. George, Robin Hood, King Arthur, Jack the Ripper, Sherlock Holmes, Winston Churchill and all the other great heroes from British legend and lore… the locals decided to steal all the water.

The London Loot-athon: Outrage as dozens of people are filmed brazenly snatching bottles of water left for marathon runners 

Neat.

I would assume that, were this in America instead of Britain, that these would be Sanders voters. Spreading the wealth and all that.
