A man has been arrested in Kern County, California, for allegedly removing human remains, a leg, from a location other than a cemetery.

You're telling me that removing it from a cemetery would have been ok?

Nah: that's covered by even older laws

Kern County, California

Not going to lie, I 1000% assumed this was going to be some Florida Man Activity™

FYI, the only thing that makes Florida different is that it publicizes the crazy criminals' antics more.

Florida Man walks among us in every other state too; we're just blissfully ignorant of him.

We're also the 3rd most populous state, so there's that as well.

The article:

It is unclear if the leg in question belongs to the individual who was killed in the incident.

Also the article:

Police arrived at the scene of the train collision that killed the unidentified person and severed their leg at about 8 a.m local time on Friday.

Where the hell would the random leg have come from otherwise?

One of my conservative relatives sent me this. I asked if he was suggesting we need to do more to help people out of homelessness and invest more in metal health services... But no of course not.

There's a video of him eating it and then carrying it off when police pull up.

I assume u are joking, not that i would want to see that... actually maybe i do.

Not joking! I'll look for the video and post the link if I find it.
