Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 2)

I, too, believe in the efficacy of retrophrenology.

Here’s a shiny new example of stupid by somebody who ought to know about keeping his stupid yap (and keyboard) shut.

Illinois woman lost an argument with her housemates so she decided to try burning the house down.

Reports say Rogers had already had already poured gasoline on the floor of the living room and had threatened the others living there. She was arrested by City Police for attempted arson among other charges.

Rocks in the head: I almost burning our house. Prolly woulda set fire to herself as well if she had managed to light the gasoline.

Is the thinking here… “Maybe they won’t notice”?

The genuinely stupid part is cannabis is illegal. Come on, when will we finally be able to admit, the war on drugs is over, drugs won? This shit has to end.

Thinking? We ain’t got no thinking. We don’t need no thinking. I don’t have to show you no stinkin’ thinking!

To their credit it IS legal in St. Louis. Just not 40 lbs on an airplane going overseas. Who knew?

Legalized in Missouri, but still illegal at the federal level, of course.

A way to get out of jury duty, a clever defense strategy or a misunderstanding?

Going by both Hanlon’s and Occam’s Razors, I’d say it’s a simple explanation of unprofessional lawyers whose client is completely in the hands of a judge who is probably getting fed up with the defense at this point.

I mean, I can see how you’d miss it, and if you’re under 40, you may well have never seen it to begin with, but it’s still funny.

It took me a few moments…

As a hint, the car in the foreground is a Bronco.

Not to mention that’s pretty sparse traffic for LA if you’re trying to make a point of how bad it’s going to be.

Thanks. I was trying to read the graffiti on the overpass.

ETA: and, in the process, also missed all those police lights blazing on top of the following cars.

That CBS affiliate is in Cedar Rapids, IA.

I am over 40 and the phrase “white Ford Bronco” will always only mean one thing to me.

The murders happened on my birthday. How cool is that?

I’m over 40, but all I could think was, “Wait - that’s not the Bluesmobile!”
