Dumb criminal lives out stereotype

Who, you ask, would shoplift from Wal-Mart? Sure, kids do it because they want crunchy peanut butter, dammit, creamy is for fucking babies! Then there are the grown adults who shoplift. Take this guy for instance.

Not only did he shoplift from Wal-Mart, he did what any petty thief would do after narrowly alluding the store's rent-a-cop. He led a high-speed chase from the Wal-Mart in Shakopee into neighboring Savage. But he did this only by taking a scenic route, driving down a bike path and across a pedestrian bridge before bailing from his car and being tackled by an officer.

Did he really think with the network of cameras covering not just the store but the parking lot, too, that he had a snowball's chance in hell? Hey dumbass, I hope you weren't in jail too long because it would sure be a shame if you missed last night's NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 from Charlotte. (Couldn't pass up the stereotype) And for the record, I'm more on the side of Indy racing.

I love when the word "tackled" is used in police apprehension. It's so appropriate. I can just imagine the cop jumping on the guy, screaming and grunting like a football player. All the while, laughing maniacally inside his head. LOL. All over some Wal-Mart crap.

What on earth did he take? Some $5 DVD's?

Too funny. Either that was one big-ass pedestrian bridge or one tiny car.

Ah, that's deliciously ridiculous.

I love the dumb robber stories! One of my faves is this dude that bought the cashier's story of being unable to open the register without a purchase so he bought some gum, gave her a 20 and made off with like $15 and left his 20.
