Dumb Criminals

It’ll be a while before Roy Mitchell can live this one down. The 22-year-old made a pit stop at a gas station convenience store for a bag of Doritos… oh, and everything in the cash register. Too bad he forgot his mom was there, and he was forced to watch her step in, snatch the gun and escort him out, scolding him the entire way.

One of the things the internet has taught us is that there are a whole lot of dumb criminals out there. Add 21-year-old Benjamin Sickles to the list.

Father’s Day is long over, but who says that’s the only good time for father-son bonding? And by “bonding” we mean “getting high, getting naked, and having a violent fight.”

Noisy neighbors are bad enough, but when one passes gas so loudly that you can hear it through your front door, what’s someone to do but whip out a gun and go all ‘Dirty Harry’ on the dude?

Since no one takes a pretty mug shot, why not make it a memorable one? That seems to have been the line of thought for a man from Florida (of course) who channeled Gene Simmons as officers held his head in place to take his booking photo.

“Miami Cannibal” Rudy Eugene may have been having a psychotic episode when he stripped naked and started chewing on the face of homeless man Ronald Poppo. But the 31-year-old’s behavior wasn’t triggered by the drug known as “bath salts,” as many have suggested.

You’ve certainly heard of “an eye for an eye,” but what about a ponytail for a ponytail? In a strange criminal trial that was recently adjudicated in Utah, 13-year-old Kaytlen Lopan stood accused of the confusing crime of befriending a 3-year-old she met at a McDonald’s and then cutting off her ponytail right then and there.

If you’ve ever dipped your toe into the pool of online dating, you know it can be fraught with peril. While some concerns mirror those found in the “real world,” others are unique to the digital landscape in which people can claim to be anyone they want. And that’s how a twisted mother-and-daughter pair managed to scam about $1 million from women all over the world.

Having your gun go off accidentally is bad. Shooting yourself is worse. Shooting yourself in the junk? Well, that’s just about the worst day ever.

We’ve heard of cheating before the wedding or during the honeymoon, but in the middle of the actual reception, moments after swapping vows and promising to love, honor, respect and blah blah blah? Well, an Austrian groom has sunk to a new level of douchebaggery by banging a waitress during his wedding reception.

People have been wearing their jeans below their butts for years now. But don’t tell that to Ohio judge Mark Mihok, who will put you in jail if you wear them low and saggy in his courtroom. The judge’s latest offender is visible in the video above: he’s the one in the white shirt.

Controversy continues to swirl around a recent image that shows two uniformed military moms breastfeeding their babies. According to RightThisMinute, a woman involved with the photo was actually fired from her job. Does that seem fair?
