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).
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!
What a Drongo but thanks for the laugh guys. I am forever finding out there are more and more idiots in this world even some of dummest want to be criminals continue to surprise me with the heights of utter stupidity they strive for, this story cracked me up what a great laugh.
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....
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....
