Man Charged With Felony In Fake Feces Prank; PoopReport Declares Our Support

Posted 02.07.2002 by Dave (11538)
21-year veteran Deputy Sheriff Gabriel Bruno is facing felony charges of vandalism after leaving fake poop in the judge's chambers at the Rhode Island Superior Court.

Justice Joseph F. Rodgers, Jr. of the RI Superior Court launched an immediate police investigation upon discovery of the fake faces, which culminated in charges against Deputy Sheriff Bruno.

64-year-old Deputy Sheriff Bruno, who is a year from retiring with an untarnished service record, has been suspended with pay, and will face trial on February 22.

Below is PoopReport's public declaration of support for Deputy Bruno. Please take a moment to add your name and a statement at the bottom of this letter. This letter and the words of support will be sent to Justice Rodgers as well as the appropriate media outlets.

An Open Letter to Presiding Justice Joseph F. Rodgers, Jr., of the Rhode Island Superior Court

Dear Justice Rodgers,

Having recently become aware of the felony charges against Deputy Sheriff Gabriel Bruno stemming from a prank involving fake feces, my organization felt immediately compelled to issue this correspondence on his behalf.

I represent PoopReport.com, a web site devoted to the intellectual indulgence of poop humor. PoopReport.com is not obscene, nor disgusting, nor overly vulgar. Rather, PoopReport.com is devoted to exploring the humor of the universal experience of excrement -- an experience shared by all humanity, regardless of race, sex or religion.

We at PoopReport.com declare our strong support for Deputy Sheriff Bruno in this matter. According to news reports, it was meant as a harmless prank, with no deliberate animosity nor any intention to violate the sanctity of the judges' chambers. Furthermore, Deputy Sheriff Bruno has repeatedly gone on record taking responsibility for his actions and has apologized profusely for any harm he may have caused.

Given the benign nature of the transgression, as well as the immaculate record of the defendant, we at PoopReport.com strongly urge you to accept Deputy Sheriff Bruno's apology and to drop the charges. No harm was meant, and no one was hurt. Deputy Sheriff Bruno does not deserve to be punished for attempting to introduce a note of levity into the otherwise-somber atmosphere of the Superior Court.

Yours in good faith,


Dave

Needles court cases are causing to much waste in our judicial system, try using some common sense instead of getting indignant about something that harmed no-one.

Jeffrey M Somogooogli (not verified) -- 02.07.2002

Have we fallen so far as to be ignorant to the existance of fun in daily life. No more than an appology should be requested as penance to this harmless joke.

Renae Olson (not verified) -- 02.07.2002

This is the most frivolous, ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Save the lawsuits for real harm, not the inability to take a harmless joke. Gabriel Bruno deserves the apology!!!

dave, fecal matter is a serious matter. you must ask yourself this: where do you draw the line with poop. i mean in the halls of our american justice system...come on now. perhaps a whoopie cushion would have been a better choice. i say fry the cocky pooping bastard.

Deputy Sherrif Bruno's rights are blatantly being violated. This is a travesty of his rights as a citizen, and as a human being.

Daniel Powell (not verified) -- 02.07.2002

How far have we come in a society only to be punted back a millenia because of an over-zealous and under-humored political figure and civil servant. Next time the perp should use a Flaming Bag, something that warrants a charge such as vandalism. What if it was a plastic heart, would he be brought up on sexual harrasment charges. All involved should take time to look at the situation. Sooner than we think, buying plastic feces will be as regulated as cigarettes and tobacco. The ATF will change its Acronym to Alcohol, Toboacco and Feces. You will have to obtain a Defecating License. Stop this obscene misuse of power before Big brother checks our stool for fiber on a daily basis!

Down with the Tyranny and Long live practical jokes!

Matthew Rossi (not verified) -- 02.07.2002

Ah, Rhode Island. I've missed your total insanity. Your tendency to leap to enormous bounds of exaggerated cruelty, your inability to keep a sense of proportion towards something as trivial as fake feces.

Trying a man for leaving plastic shaped like excrement in judicial chambers. Classic Rhode Island, and the reason everyone makes fun of us.

doniker (1517) -- 02.07.2002

Boy spittnkitty, I always wanted to be a star and have fans and groupies, I never thought moving my bowels and talking about it could get me respect and admiration. I do admit that this is a waste of the taxpayers money, I have a question..is this judge up for re-election soon? This could be a ploy to help his election. People like a strict judge, it gives citizens a sense of safety and security.
Now get over here and choke on my chicken and make it spit for me kitty!

R.W. (not verified) -- 02.07.2002

Deputy Sherrif Bruno's biggest mistake was thinking that Justice Joseph F. Rodgers, Jr has a sense of humor.

Joe (91) -- 02.07.2002

Absolutely ridiculous! I will not sit here and say that I truly know everything about this "case," however, if it truly is an innocent prank, then for God's sake, drop all of this nonsense. Or else, start locking up 4th graders for similar offenses. How can the children continue to get away with such malicious pranks and go unpunished! I can only hope that this is a false report.

Sarah M. Cermak (not verified) -- 02.07.2002

Tedd (not verified) -- 02.07.2002

Right on Monica! I agree wholeheartedly, fecal matter is a very serious business, and if you ask me, poop gets so much disrespect these days. I mean, how low can you go - using it for such a ridiculous practical joke. Should have been vomit - now there's a disgusting bodily fluid! Feces rules!!!

Trashcanman (240) -- 02.07.2002

I actully looked up this guys contact information for dave! That says enough on where I stand on this, PUNISH JUDGE ROGERS FOR NOT HAVING A SENSE OF HUMOR!!!

It didnt kill anyone...whats the big deal?

Amanda Perry (not verified) -- 02.07.2002

It's just some poop. It wasn't even real poop. People really need to focus more important things like, death, and gun control, and drugs. Fake poop is not going to harm anyone. Lighten up.

G Ras (150) -- 02.08.2002

I hate the Justice System.... That's why I don't go to court.

Chris (56) -- 02.08.2002

Obviouly we are trending toward a society in which you can get someone arrested for calling you an asshole at a bar or a football game. This is a step along the way. Criminalizing the act of ridiculing even an undeserving person is a great mistake. If we are denied the right to mildly offend each other without penalty, we have put way too many politically-correct/thin-skinned people in positions of influence.

Sarah (91) -- 02.08.2002

Felony charges for fake poop? What is this country coming to? Honestly.

Ryan (not verified) -- 02.08.2002

If it was legitimate feces, this would be a ligitimate case.

Amy (not verified) -- 02.08.2002

It wasn't even real poop... What's the big deal? Sure it was childish... but it was also harmless... I would have laughed if I found fake poop and then I would have passed it on to someone else...

Poopie (not verified) -- 02.10.2002

You'd think the judge would be used to poop, considering the amount of bull-poop that spews from lawyers' mouths on a daily basis in his courtroom, not to mention the assorted people who lie under oath...he needs to lighten up - maybe he needs some Ex-Lax to help with his little problem, sounds like a constipated old fart to me....it was just a harmless little joke.

Willy (not verified) -- 02.15.2002

How can you charge a man with a felony and waste OUR tax dollars trying such a stupid and utterly useless case. OK maybe it was disrespectful, sort of, but damn a felony, lets spend our time trying to catch the morons who are running around robbing and stealing and killing innocent people, instead of wasting our time and money on the poop guy!!!

james browne (not verified) -- 02.18.2002

the fact that this has become a formal matter is a perfect example of how the liberals have ruined our justice system.

Ben Eby (not verified) -- 02.24.2002

some people talk about poop all the time, some just leave it in their toilets, unless the judge is a real hardass, he should be poked with sticks untill he crys.

Marth (not verified) -- 03.01.2002

Whooo someone's just a little too serious about poop. Lighten up!

JMYoda (not verified) -- 03.04.2002

Justice Joseph F. Rodgers, Jr. is so anal-retentive it makes me wonder when the last time he took a good healthy dump. (Here's a tip: Milk of Magnesia. It's a Godsend!) Reminds me of a lot of people I've known over the years, self-righteous power-mad jerks with no sense of humor. IMNSHO Deputy Sheriff Bruno rocks! Nothing like an old fart who likes playing with plastic doo-doo. FREE THE POOP!

Roy (not verified) -- 03.12.2002

I pledge my full support of Deputy Sheriff Bruno. This just goes to show that Americans do not possess a sense of humor in the most remote sense. Disrespectful or not, the fact of the matter is that the crime (if you can really call it one) does not deserve such a harsh and unnecessary punishment; it wasn't even real poo for crying out loud! I think that America needs to wake up and realize that life in the overall sense is pointless and its meaning is merely what you make of it. If we could be annihilated in the blink of an eye by a myriad of events, then why take all of this seriously. As for the judge, I hope you come to your senses and understand that this was just a silly joke and was nothing that was of any personal enmity directed towards him. And if he can't figure that out, then he should be patronized for his lack of a sense of humor and for his grotesquely inane waste of tax payers' money that will be used to put poor Bruno on trial. Thank you for your time.

P.S. - Because of this, I'd worry if someone's going to fill up the coffee pot with diarrhea.

Rick (54) -- 03.13.2002

judge you need to grow up, people like you is why the world is so screwed up, your immature and a judge like you should not be on the bench! if a joke upsets you that much then how can you be a judge! thank god your not on the defense dept we'd be dead now!

Nobody Special (not verified) -- 03.14.2002

I think this case needs to be flushed out, and hopefully people will start giving a crap about fixing the judicial system that is going down the drain.

Jack (not verified) -- 04.11.2002

What exactly is he charged with? I'm having trouble thinking of any law that might apply here- particularly a felony. However, the judge was perfectly entitled to fire him. I mean, there's nothing wrong with firing someone for being a dumbass. There is a line between the judge's role as an employer and as an instrument of criminal justice. He has a right to come down as hard as he wants as an employer.

bob jenkins (not verified) -- 04.21.2002

Jerry (not verified) -- 04.30.2002

Let the poop fall where it will, after all it is a right of "passage" I mean heh!, when ya' gotta go, Ya GOTTA go!!!. The judge needs to get a sense of humor. (Don't tell me he never found a place to poop in a pinch:)

Fecal T.P. Treacle (not verified) -- 10.25.2002

The only reason Justice Rodgers decided to have it investigated was because he was jealous at not being able to produce anything of that quality himself. I recommend baked beans and figs, Rodgers, that oughtta sort it out.

The only fecal matter in the story above is that such a charge should have been laid. Ridiculous. A reprimand and an apology should more than suffice.

Bobbi Petit (not verified) -- 11.25.2002

I support Deputy Bruno, it was only fake poo.

Roger Martin (not verified) -- 11.26.2002

Here we go, do any of you grasp the odvious here. Deputy Bruno starts out small [fake shit] then works his way up to planting DRUGS on people next. He's a cop for petes sake take his pention his badge his house and everything dammit don't leave the donut stealing bastard with even a pot to piss in.

damn the man is like in his's sixty's and he left a shit in your office have a laugh about it or did he really fuck your wife and now your pissed its judges like u that need a little shit in there life.

As a first-time visitor to this site (and being the originator of the Seven Varieties Fart Classification System, it's like coming home...), I was quite skeptical about the veracity of this story. Upon confirming it, I then went in search of bio & contact info on the aforementioned shitwitless judge.

Indeed, this puckered bunghole is alive and, relatively well. Check out his bio at www.state.ri.us/MANUAL/data/queries/jud.idc?EmployeeID=6

Sadly, he's Democrat -- or was. Given his stance on anal values, and enough publicity, there's no doubt he'll end up on the George W. Bush shit list, er, short list for the Supreme Court. Let's demand that the Rhode Island Democratic Party flush this turd!

Like so many judges, appointed, not elected, you are being most unreasonable.

If some person clogged your toilet, what would you hand out?

Life imprisonment?

Also, you seem to forget, this man has a perfect standing, has never generated a criminal record, and quite frankly, deserves an apology--from yourself!

Jason (51) -- 05.04.2003

I would like to see Justices Rodgers realize what a mean (dick) and rude person he is being for a harmless prank. Also I would like to know how Justices Rodgers would feel if he was put on trial for being a goofball. And if pranks are a felony then almost everyone in America would be behind bars. If I saw Justices Rodgers on the side of the road beggin for money I would take his little cup! So GOOD DAY justices rodgers. I hope you get hit by a mack truck!

Charlie (not verified) -- 09.15.2003

Lighten up! The fact that you are a judge doesn't give you the right to be better than anyone else. If you didn't like the prank, ask him not to do it again. Don't embarass yourself by being a prude.

Legalize_Weed (not verified) -- 10.29.2003

OMG if this is real it is extremely sad. Like this site - however I went to it so i am not one to talk! Anyway here are my views: the guy is an OLD MAN and he should know better! and like someone said if the judge is an asshole he has every right to fire Bruno. But this case does not deserve to be in court ITS ABOUT A FUCKING FAKE TURD! God I thought the thousands of ppl arrested for marijuana, that is better for u than tobacco or alcohol, was sad. Now is fake shit becoming a controlled substance? I try to be patient with this government. I try to see good points in George W. Bush (for my significant other's sake) but this is fuckin sad. Please tell me this is a load of shit (and I KNOW you will get a big kick out of saying the word shit!)

Judge, YOU SUCK!! and if you convict him i have a feeling you will be recieving alot of "smelly mail", hundreds of people sending you samples of the real deal!!! hahahahahaha ya asshole!

The Shit Volcano (3646) -- 02.29.2004

This judge is my sister in old age. She was horrified the other day that I put yellow food dye in toilets to make them look like they've been peed in. Her reasoning: someone might think it's real and that hurts them. MY ASS!!! I could see this politically-correct dumbshit putting someone on trial for fake feces in her later years. What a tight ass!

Jimbo (41) -- 05.02.2004

My people never asked for these freakish laws that make absolutely no sense whatsoever. We just got crammed into little tracts of wasteland and had them forced on us. Now under the puppet government of King George II (which looks like a rerun of the reign of King George I --who is probably still in charge) the illusion of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and "rights and freedoms guaranteed by the constitution" has very clearly been stripped away for ALL to see. Not just my people, but ALL born and naturalized to these shores. When the day comes that a man cannot express humor, then you know the day has arrived when others would control your mind, your thoughts, your heart and your very soul. Now, my friends... Now, is the time to THINK, to SPEAK, to ACT, or cower in fear, and lose your soul.

It seems that our great country has really taken a turn for the worse as of late. We as a people have allowed ourselves to be governed by an increasingly right wing, ultra conservative, anal retentive, humorless, elitist bunch of pinheads who have no concept of the REAL AMERICA that us poor wage slaves live in. AMERICANS LIKE TO JOKE AROUND!!!!! If we as the people of this mighty country allow our freedom to be curtailed by the humorless voids of life called the government, we give up what our forefathers so valiantly fought for. And to the judge who is bringing up on charges a man who served his community so bravely for 21 years-GET OVER IT , IT WAS FAKE POOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is the stupidest thing i have ever heard. there is real problems in this country that needs to be addressed by the courts but instead us tax payers are flipping the bill to have something as childish as a poop prank occupie the courts time. is this country really came down to this, is it not ok for the people to joke with each other any more. i believe we need to take the power back and put it in the peoples hands instead of a few select people that think they put thier pants on differently than we do.

Troy 967 (not verified) -- 10.31.2005

Another example of a judge thinking he should be put on a pedastal. Grow the @#$% up. You are going to ruin an officers career over a joke? The people in this country need to start looking at things like this more seriously. An abuse of power like this should warrent termination of this so called judge. It is clear to me that his decisions are based on emotion. How is someone like this fit for office? I am glad that I don't live in this "judges" precinct.
