Weird news stories this week!

Since I know you guys love odd stories I found a video feed with a few segments of weird news.

Watch the videos to learn about the dumb crook that left his id behind, the monkey that loved monkeying around in front of the cameras, the kid who coughed up a bullet, long leg hair a huge pumpkin and a whole lot more.

Which video was your favorite?

I have a gun in my pocket

This is what we should do to stupid criminals like the guy below:

It’s bad enough being a criminal but being a dumb one must be really bad - You know your robber is really stupid when he tries to rob you by pretending his extended finger is a gun. Yep. That’s what an unidentified man who fled the scene did after an unsuccessful attempt at robbing a Git-N-Go convenience store in Des Moines Iowa this past December.

His robbery attempt was foiled when the clerk noticed that the gunmans thumb was visible from his pocket. He was holding his hand in his pocket as if he had a gun. The clerk argued with the man, who insisted that he really did have a gun in his pocket.

I guess the guy fled when he realized the gig was up.

He got in but he couldn’t get out

Alright, I found yet another dumb criminal story / video for you.

This is hilarious, you’ve just gotta watch this one. The guy comes up with a pretty good idea for breaking into a liquor store or perhaps its a convenience store that sells liquor but he gets into trouble once he gets inside. You see, as hard as he tries to get out of the store - he simply can’t.

I’m certain that he would have been taken to the ER for stitches in multiple places after his botched break in.

Watch this video (2 min.) and see what you think of his technique:

Idiot destroys community prenatal clinic

Sorry I don’t have a picture of the idiot, but this is what he looks like in my imagination:

Now, here’s the story

What an idiot!

Anti-abortion protester David Robert McMenemy, 45, allegedly scoured the Midwest looking for an abortion clinic. He found a women’s clinic in Davenport, Iowa. Once there, the Michigan resident allegedly drove his car through the front of the clinic, doused it with gasoline and set it on fire. “McMenemy hoped his actions would stop or disrupt the clinic’s activities and save some babies’ lives,” federal indictment papers note.

There was just one problem with his plan: the clinic does not perform abortions, but rather offers pre-natal care to poor women. “We think he intended for it to be a suicide but he found out burning would be too painful,” said the county prosecutor. The clinic suffered about $170,000 in damage and was closed for weeks.

…So pretty much all he accomplished was to stop or disrupt the clinic’s activities and risk many babies’ lives. What an idiot. Isn’t he supposed to be prolife if he’s an anti-abortionist? He could have killed someone in the clinic and seeing as how events turned out he’s put the lives of several unborn children and their mothers at risk.
