Ha ha and LOL

For the sweet love of all that's good and holy, when will it end with these people?

Some fool named T.J. Miller, who claims to be a comedian, is under arrest, charged with allegedly calling in a fake bomb threat last month while riding an Amtrak train to New York.

I have to be honest, as always. This might be the greatest publicity stunt ever, because at no point in my life prior to this arrest was I familiar with the name T.J. Miller. I mean, it sounds like a relief pitcher for the New York Mets or an geometry teacher at a high school in Dubuque, Iowa...one of those guys whose tie tack is a tiny slide rule. I had never heard of the comedian with that name, or of the "Silicon Valley" sitcom, for that matter.

But now old T.J. (he's 36) is out on $100,000 bond after appearing before a U.S. District judge in New Haven, Connecticut.

The criminal complaint filed against him alleges that on March 18, Miller called 911 dispatcher and reported that another passenger on the train he was on “has a bomb in her bag.” Amtrak officials then had to stop the train in Westport, Connecticut, and have everyone disembark for searching.  And guess what?  The only bomb onboard was Miller's career.

And then, AMTRAK police talked to Miller, and he gave a whole different description of the woman that time, admitted to having "one glass of red wine," and denied that he suffers from mental illness.

If you read further in the complaint, it turns out that Miller gave the wrong number for the train he was on, and that an attendant who worked on the train said that Miller appeared intoxicated upon boarding, had multiple drinks on the train and was booted off the choo-choo in New York for being intoxicated.

AND the attendant says Miller was bickering with a woman who was also in the first class section of the train with him, but in a different row. Having spoken with the woman who was the subject of Miller's hostility, the investigators state in the complaint that Miller was "motivated by a grudge against the female" in making the false call to 911.

There has been no comment from Miller concerning his arrest, although he tweeted the following inanity about his upcoming "comedy" show in Philadelphia:

What up Philadelphia. Illadelphia. Me and @CJSullivan_ are about to wreck it this weekend. My girl Cork is on the case, @HeliumComedy is the jam. And peanut butter.
See you there. MOST ALL SHOWS SOLD OUT so get them fixed fast. #roadrunnerhttps://t.co/0YIOzL6wvd

I mean, really, is there anything sadder than someone so obviously bedeviled as to torment people on a train and then place police and fire personnel in jeopardy, and the entire trainload of passengers and crew in a state of inconvenience, just for some revenge against a woman who, most likely, finds T.J. Miller repugnant and refused his company?

What up T.J. Miller. How does a few months in jail sound to you, funny guy?
