Getting Robbed by A Dumbass Criminal

Don’t know if you heard but here in Connecticut we recently got hit with an unholy amount of snow.  At my house we received 27 inches of winter delight and I’m finally done tunneling out of my home.  I don’t know about you but that is just too much damn snow.  I’m all for a little bit here and there, especially around the holidays but anything two feet and over you can keep!  Driving around the city is truly amazing, there is simply nowhere to put this much snow.  Piles of snow four to six feet high on street corners and lanes on streets have totally disappeared.  It truly was a storm for the ages and now I just need some rain to wash it all away.

The real point of this post though is about a crime that was committed during the snow storm that I couldn’t help but laugh at and really wanted to share with the world.  I’ll link you to the article below but let me give you the gist of it.  A man in Middletown, CT was stuck in the snow on a city street.  He heard a knock at the window and figured that a Good Samaritan was offering him some help.  He opened the door and the man immediately put a gun to his neck and demanded money and anything of value.  He took off in the snow with cash and valuables while the man stuck in the snow called the police.  The police showed up, followed the footsteps in the snow to fresh tire tracks, and then followed them to a parked car with two men smoking pot in it.  The car had the cash, valuables and mask used by the robber and he was arrested for the crime.  He later admitted to it and will be back in court on 1/27.

Isn’t that some shit?  I laughed my ass off reading this article.  Not only because it’s one of the world’s most stupid criminals but also because this is the type of thing that would happen to me.  I’d be stuck in the snow and instead of getting help a person would rob my ass.  It reminds me of a friend I have who was hit by a car while riding a bike.  A person approached him and he thought the nice person was going to help him and call for assistance.  Instead the guy checked his pockets and took his wallet and gold chain.  Crazy!

Anyway, back to the dumbass robber.  First of all, why would you rob someone in a snowstorm?  It sounds like a good idea but your footprints are going to lead to where you are going.  He should have either covered his tracks or booked to a different town where the cops would have most likely given up their search.  Oh, and how about this dummy.  How about you take the guy’s cell phone so he can’t call 911 and report the robbery until much later when the footprints are most likely gone.

Oh well, I hope this guy serves some time for being such an idiot.  Maybe it’s me but there’s no need for dumbasses in this world, especially dumbass criminals.
