The Criminal Mind

I just watched a surveillance video on TV and was shocked at what one of the hold up men did.

He looked at the camera, realized he was being video recorded, left the building, then returned with his face covered.

What in hell was he thinking? Did he really believe that his going out the door and coming back in would erase the images already recorded? Did he think he would not be recognized? Did he think that the people who watch the video would forget seeing him leave? Did he think at all?

I have been convinced for years that to be a common criminal it is necessary that you be somewhat intellectually challenged. Let’s face facts; if they were smarter they would probably be better at their jobs instead of ending up in jail all the time.

Learning that some schmuck got pulled over for driving 20 miles over the limit when he had ten pounds of cocaine and one hundred pounds of pot in the car strikes me as a bit…..well…..STUPID! Does it not make sense that if you are committing a felony it might be a good idea to pay attention to the other laws as well?

I wonder if there is a special ‘Prison for Dummies’ section in the penal library.
