Now That?s What I Call Stupid!

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

As annoyed as I am with crime in Indianapolis, I am actually more astounded by the blatant stupidity of some criminals.  As a famous caped crusader once said, “criminals are a cowardly lot” but the guys who reportedly broke into Don’s Gun Shop at 38th and Lafayette just take the cake.

Not only did they steal a car from the nearby Mitsubishi dealer (where there are cameras) they used the car to go through the front window of the gun store (where there are cameras) climbed through the hole they made in the wall and stole guns.

They later ditched the car behind the gun store (where there are cameras across the street) and got into a white pick up truck. Which was easily identifiable as evidenced by the high speed chase.   They were arrested this morning and several items were found in a nearby apartment.  Because there’s nothing like taking evidence and leaving it in your place.

At the very least these knuckleheads could have done if they were going to be this brazen was leave a Joker playing card at the scene of the crime; after all, they are clowns.
