Wordless Wednesday

I think these men must have a death wish.

They’ve combined water, a lot of alcohol and electricity … someone’s about to get fried and it looks like they don’t have a clue!

A grill in the middle of a pool? An electrical outlet propped on the side of the pool, with a surge protector floating in the pool courtesy of rubber flip flops? Maybe they think the rubber flip flops or the surge protector will absorb electricity if and when water gets into the outlet?

I hope they had good insurance policies!

Seriously are they stupid or what?

Nobody likes a stereotype, but a West Virginian man’s actions a couple of weeks ago kind of proved that some residents of the Southern States really are hicks.

Michael Ginevan, 39 years of age, attempted to flee from a police officer who tried to pull him over. Ginevan was driving a strange vehicle indeed. It was a lawnmower with a case of beer attached to the front of it.

Sherrif’s deputy JH Jenkins managed to catch up with the unruly lawnmower driver while on foot. It must have been a strange police chase indeed!

Eric Cunningham, 18, or Orlando Florida isn’t the brightest criminal on the planet. He was arrest and charged with robbing a Hess gas station at gun point in Orlando in April.

He got caught because he forgot to take his gun case with him when he fled the store. Inside the gun case was a receipt for his gun with his name listed on it.

Then we have yet another winner for the dumbest criminal awards … Jazrahel King, 29, was arrested in April in Norwalk Conn. when he tried to trade in the jeep that he’d allegedly stolen from the same Wholesalers of America dealership that he’d appropriated the vehicle from in the first place. He was trying to trade the jeep in for a larger vehicle.

Jazrahel King hadn’t even taken a moment to think about the fact that the dealership would have the cars vin number on record, or the fact that the jeep still had the dealerships temporary plates on it.

Some criminals are so dumb they really should find a new line of work.

Daniel Brown, 22, of Hartselle, Ala., thought he was smart when he wore a ski mask to hide his identity from his grandfather when he staged a home invasion this past January. What went wrong? When he burst in to the house he yelled, “I need your money, and I mean it, Pa-Paw.”.

To top things off he was stupid enough to try denying that he was the man behind the mask when he was arrested.

Then there’s Glenn Vickers, 53, who was allegedly intoxicated while driving on Interstate 64 near Kanawa County, W. Va. He decided to tailgate a driver that day. Guess who he was tailgating as he weaved on the roadway? None other than Sheriff Mike Rutherford who was driving an unmarked car.

After Vickers jockeyed behind Rutherford for a while, he peeled off at an exit and flipped Rutherford the finger. He should have paid more attention to his driving though since the act of raising his finger high caused him to crash into the guardrail. I guess it’s a good thing he didn’t end up hurting anyone while he was DUI.

Some people!
