Some Dumb Crooks
« on: May 08, 2015, 09:56:50 AM »
Crook #1 takes a unique, "But I was just asking them if they had any spare change" panhandler approach.

Crook #2 seems like it should have been a Dewey Crowe scene in "Justified".

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

From the would-be bank robber:

Quote
"For real, I felt like I got robbed 'cause they gave me the money," he said. "Then the police robbed my brain."

Talk about petty larceny. . . .
Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will... The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. ― Frederick Douglass

I like how this guy spilled his guts to the police. After all, he's practically one of them, right? They'll be sympathetic.

It was unclear whether he had a lawyer to contact for further comment.

Crook #1 doesn't need a lawyer, he needs a psychiatrist. [Or a good agent -- he could have a career in stand-up comedy.]

Don't worry about rook #1.  I'm betting both that English is not even his 3rd language and that he's a non-citizen that will somehow be covered by executive amnesty.

#2 will be safer where he's going - less chance he will step out in front of a truck.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Crook 1 will not get off. And as he's in jail, his roomy will give him this note: "I need to pound you in the ass right NOW!! Please. Guards take 3 to 4 minutes to get here. I would appreciate if you scream "rape!" a minute after I am gone done."

Here's another one.

I saw an interview with the girl, and she said the crook was fumbling with his phone, when he set the gun down. So he's in the middle of an armed robbery, and has his phone out. I guess that kind of stupid would explain why he can't find legal employment.
