Duct Tape Robber
In last week's issue there was the story of an alleged robber who wrapped his head in duct tape as a disguise. But I forgot that I had photos of this brain surgeon to show you! But first, the story, from the 9 September issue:
Weekly Weird News
We See You Too
A robber who stepped into Shamrock Liquors in Ashland, Ky., had a unique idea to hide his identity: he wrapped his head in duct tape. Store manager Bill Steele also had some duct tape -- wrapped around a club, which he used as a weapon to repel the intruder. Another employee chased down the robber and held him for police, who pulled off the tape. Luckily for Kasey G. Kazee, 24, it was hot that day, and his profuse sweat kept the tape from pulling off all of his hair -- or his skin. He has been charged with first-degree robbery. (AP) ...Those brutal cops! They should have taken him to a nice, air-conditioned hospital to wait for a doctor to remove the tape.
And here are the photos:

Ugh. I think the before picture is less scary!

What's even crazier about this culprit is that he tried to deny he robbed the store. I can't find the link anymore (I believe I might have actually seen it on our local news here in middle Tennessee), but he said the real robber ran by him and the store employee tackled him (mistaken identity, after all, duct-tape wrapped heads all look alike).

Did he shout "This is a stick up!"?

When people say that duct tape can be used for nearly everything, don't take their word. Obviously, the liquor store owner had a better use for it.

The dumb SH** !!! The same thing happened down here in FL a couple of weeks ago, except that JERKO got away with it. What's next -- ? Will they outlaw the sale of duct tape now, along with guns?
Remember the TRUE saying: When guns are outlawed, only OUTLAWS will own guns!

I saw this news story on the local Dallas NBC station. The bandit had some words for the public while being held in jail. He said "Do I look like the type of guy who would be the Duct-tape bandit, baby?" The ridiculousness of that statement is that he was caught with the duct tape on his face!

Everybody's missing the point here. Do you have any idea how much money this guy is gonna make suing people? The police, the liquor store, the employee that helped chase him down, the duct tape manufacturer?? I'm sure there were no warnings on the package, alerting him that putting duct tape on your hide while attempting a robbery will cause pain & suffering upon removal. He's gonna make a million. Possibly enough for a new set of lips....
Posted by Gina Ashland Ky (yea the same place it happened) on September 25, 2007:
Faye would have a nice point, if the *person* had the insight to think about it. He doesn't. Its sad what the bored idiots here will come up with. I'm sadly ashamed and want to assure you that not all of us are that dumb, I promise! I swear you should have to pass a test b4 you are allowed to breed....

The guy is obviously a redneck. Duct tape...get 'er done. I wrap my head with duct tape all the time just to see how many rolls it takes to go around 1000 times. Try it. it's fun. And it doesn't hurt coming off.

Crazy, yet a creative perpetrator. The world weird records will list such people for their stupidity and endeavor. Who cares about consequences from a distant point!
