The Wrong People in the Lineup

The case that didn’t make it to court:

A young man walked into a police station in a big city and said to the officer behind a desk, "I would like to report a crime."

The officer asked what the crime was and who was the victim. "Robbery," said the young man, "and I am the victim. I was robbed of my potential toward success."

The officer has some known criminals stand in a lineup so the young man can identify who committed the crime.

"Sir," says the young man, "you have the wrong people in the lineup.Instead you should have deadbeat parents, a teacher who didn't teach, a preacher who deceives, an unfair employer, the politician who lies, and a friend who’s not."
