Malden Police Captain Tom Swanson said of the woman: "She is a regular customer who talks to the clerk. I think she took it a little personally." All charges alleged until proven under law.

With apologies to John Mellencamp, nothing is more American that batshit criminals. Bostonist found a couple of alleged criminals with a hint of patriotic flair.
Diner food is delicious. It's generally oozing with butter and grease, cheese and saccharine imitation maple syrup. These things taste good. However, many eaters these days are no longer ignorant enough of what goes into this food (the artery-clogging trans fats, the environment-destroying factory farmed meats) to partake in true, unadulterated diner-induced bliss. It may be simpler in a karmic way to live without consuming animal products (denial takes a lot of energy to maintain) but in a purely sensual way, it kinda sucks to live without bacon.

Somebody deserves a raise. [BPD News]
