Running While Weighed Down
Contributed by Davon Huss on Sep 5, 2011 (message contributor)
RUNNING WHILE WEIGHED DOWN
David Posman was arrested in Providence, Rhode Island, after allegedly knocking out an armored car driver and stealing the closest 4 bags of money. It turned out they contained $800 in pennies, weighing 30 pounds each, and slowed him to a stagger during his getaway so that police officers easily jumped him from behind.
David Posman is not the first person to make the mistake of trying to run while being weighed down. In fact, it happens spiritually all the time.
