Accident waiting to happen

Accident about to happen

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?

Experimenting with cutting tools?

Wow. For men dressed in camouflage, making them look like they might be hunters, they sure don’t seem prepared! Where’s their hunting knife?

What a way to cut a watermelon!

Major criminals caught because of minor infractions

How many times have you heard stories about criminals that have done some stupid everyday kind of thing that ends up being what gets them caught? I know I’ve written enough stories like that here on Odd Planet!

You know the ones that have expired tags on their vehicles or a broken tail light? Basically minor traffic infractions that end up getting them caught for major crimes!

Once such criminal is Larenzo Dixon, 22 of San Diego. He was arrest in March at a downtown transit station during a police crackdown on jaywalkers.

A routine check of the illegal jaywalker turned up a murder warrant on Dixon from Louisiana.

Is there an award for dumbest criminal?

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!
