Would you feel guilty?
6 accused in cheap-gas scheme
Mon Jan 21, 3:34 PM ET
SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. - A gas station clerk is accused of defrauding her boss out of nearly $50,000 by selling fuel to her family and friends for a tenth of a penny a gallon.
Police arrested 25-year-old Madeline Jordan on Sunday - along with her mother, brother, a cousin and two others - after setting up a sting at the BP station in South Charleston.
The station's owner told police last week he had noticed a significant drop in his income and found receipts that listed the deeply discounted rate.
Police alleged that for several months Jordan, of Nitro, had reset the price at the pumps every Sunday morning and allowed people she knew to fill up.
There was no immediate word if any of the six had secured attorneys to speak for them. The Kanawha County Courthouse was closed Monday in honor of Martin Luther King Jr., and calls to the South Charleston Police Department were not answered.

I wouldn't feel guilty because I wouldn't take the discounted gas in the first place. 0 -

Nail her hide to the wall.
I do not like a THIEF. [:(!]
I hope she has to pay it ALL back.0 -
Hard to feel guilty when you wouldn't take part of criminal activity in the first place.
I may not like paying $3/gallon for gas, but I don't steal.0 -

hunter mag....the question is: would YOU feel guilty. That you could or would place yourself in a position to feel guilty is evidenced by the question in your subject line.0 -

NO...but only because I wouldn't steal it to begin with. I hope she has to pay it back and do jail time. 0 -
Robbery has many disguises. Most robbery is from the inside, much harder to prove. But this case should be open and closed. 0 -
"found receipts that listed the deeply discounted rate."
How did this moronic criminal think she would be able to pull this off?0 -
You never feel guilty if you are honest. All involved need some harsh punishment. 0 -

Sounds like your a politician.[xx(]
FYI I'm the most honest person you will ever run across.
Much more honest than you will ever dream of being.
Yes I know how many honest people are out there(hardly any)and the true test doesn't come from some question on a message board to where almost all will proclaim their fantasised honesty.
The true test comes when you pull into that gas station pump gas then go to pay and the clerk asks for almost nothing for the gas you just pumped or when the cashier(we've all had this happen)makes a noticable mistake giving you change and all one has to do is walk out without saying a word.0 -

Hunter Mag...I am a politician or a liar or both, but that assertion is irrelevent as you hold the upper hand in the honesty department.
What a high and lonesome pedestal you must be be on in the midst of all the dishonest cretins in your world. The pressure must be tough to handle. I would ask that you speak less harshly of my friends here on this site. I would not be disposed to accept your judgement of thier honesty, fantasied or otherwise.
Honesty is best evaluated when one becomes introspective and examines his soul and decides that he can accept the decisions he has made.0 -
honesty is a way of life, you can can accept that you may not make out on the deal of the century and not take, what is not yours to take
If you stay on the path of truth, rewards will come you simply got to wait.0
