I’ve never been in law enforcement, but I’ve met a few dumb criminals. The dumbest I knew were three overaged juvenile delinquents. They liked to make firecrackers out of black powder. The bigger, the better. One night they made a firecracker out of a five pound bag of black powder, took it to a construction site and blew the bleeep out of a port-a-potty. They didn’t see the local cop who witnessed it until he had pulled his gun on them. They got busted as adults. I saw them before their trial, while they rehearsed their testimony. Stooge #1: “We didn’t do anything!” Stooge #2: “We didn’t do anything!” Stooge #3: “We didn’t do anything–and you made the fuse too short!” I wish I could have seen their trial.
Mike Curtis, thanks for the story.
