Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 2)

I’m not quite sure if this counts as evil or stupid. I’ll be charitable and start here.

First you own a car. Then a dead body somehow ends up in its trunk/frunk. Then the car gets towed by the cops for some reason unrelated to the body. Then the body is … noticed.

Either do a better job of body dumping, or at least keep the parking meter fed wherever you left the car until you can finish the body dumping. Jeez people, how hard is this crimin’ stuff?

Sometimes it’s hard to remember where you left the body.

I had never heard of him (he’s apparently a big deal on TikTok which I don’t use) but I looked him up and he’s only 20 years old. He probably just doesn’t have the experience to pull that off.

I’m not sure which is mo bettah, a 20yo experienced killah, or a 20yo inexperienced killah

That one of his hits is Romantic Homicide lends a sort of O.J.-esque tone to the whole affair.

I wonder what catch-phrase will emerge from the trial? Maybe:

If you know the car’s PIN, you’re guilty as sin.

? :wink:

His one and only studio album is called “Withered”. It seems somewhat macabre now that they found a dismembered corpse in his old car.

No idea who the guy is, but I just saw that story on TMZ. They didn’t go any further than what you wrote, but I’m wondering if his car was stolen and someone ditched it with the body in it.

I’m guessing it’s something like that. That seems more plausible than “young online musical star on the rise is secretly a murderer”. Obviously, what is being reported now, which somewhat implies he is, that gets a lot more eyeballs.

I’m actually glad criminals are stupid. Could you imagine society if they were actually competent?

Stupid criminals are stupid, there’s plenty out there that are smart enough not to get caught.

They could even be president!

Well, if your boss shorts your paycheck and takes a couple months making it right, nobody is going to charge him with a crime.

The smart criminals don’t have to worry about getting caught. They just get everybody else to agree not to call what they do crimes.

I don’t think we’ve ever had a competent criminal president, just incompetents.

At any rate, that’s an obvious defense, and potentially more believable than “someone hacked my computer and posted this embarrassing racist stuff/downloaded child porn onto it”.

Yeah. I deliberately chose wording to not directly assert he had any involvement in the person becoming dead, or in his car.

But it was real lazy of the article writer not to find out how the car came to be in the impound yard. Or even whether it had been reported stolen.

Lotta unanswered questions.

At least it’s better than the cops reality shows where the guy caught with drugs in his pockets insists the trousers he’s wearing aren’t his pants.

“Somebody threw drugs into my car through the window.”

Yeah, it is a piece of cake, hotwiring a Tesla.

OK, I have a bit of sympathy for these two. I admit, I have a deep seated fear of getting on a plane to the wrong destination but it’s not about buying a ticket to the wrong place. And I totally get mistaking To Nice for Tunis, but wouldn’t the airline being called Tunisair give you a little pause?

I laughed. I have a little sympathy but caveat emptor.

Once, I was on a business trip to Mexico, specifically Ciudad del Carmen or “Carmen”. I passed some younger Americans who were planning how to get to Playa del Carmen, which they assumed was just a short taxi ride from the airport to the beach and not an entire different city on the other side of the Yucatan peninsula.

I had a vague desire to sit there and watch the shitshow unfold but, after a long day of travel, decided on just catching my own taxi.

It looks like they had a sense of humor about it rather than making trouble for the staff.

This is totally something that would happen to me. I recently showed up to the local aquarium with a pair of pre-purchased tickets for a different aquarium.
