Stupid People in the News

We all see the news which has some of the most horrific crimes being committed. We even see the heartbreaking stories that leave us questioning if humanity still exists. Sometimes we will see something in the news that just moves us and reminds us that people still have hearts and can still care for one another. But none of these apply to stupid people in the news. Stupid people in the news gives us something else. They give us humor and a much need good laugh.

The muffin mix mailer:

This woman's crime actually had me laughing. She mailed her parking ticket and payment in with white powder and nice little note. The note said she hoped that the police got the flu. The white powder fell onto a police officer and caused quite a scare. The white powder just happened to be muffin mix. So why did this woman say she hoped they got the flu? Because before putting it in the envelope she sneezed all over everything. Of course she claims the muffin mix got in there because she done all this in the kitchen. Well accident or not she did not get away with it. She got community service, a fine and a nice tour of the jail.

Car carrying pot crashes into Highway Patrol Car:

Ok so here I am 54 years old out cruising in South Carolina and I decide to smash my car into a trooper's car. Does stupid criminal come to mind? What was this guy thinking? Apparently not much since he was probably too stoned to think. Two trooper had parked their cars in each lane do to an accident that had happened. Then along comes this criminal who has about 43 pounds of pot in his car and just crashes it into the troopers car. The man gets to be stoned, stupid and arrested.

Housewife sentenced to 16 years for stabbing husband:

Ok this one doesn't sound like it should fit into stupid people in the news but trust me it does. This woman fits in more ways than one. First off she fired her attorneys and tried to represent herself? In a trail like this I am sorry but you would have to be stupid to represent yourself without any legal training. Secondly the husband she married had been her psychotherapist . Ok this to me is weird since he had treated her in therapy when she was 14. Did I mention she went nuts and while testifying she had spoke about having psychic powers.

I have to say that some people just keep proving the point that one should never underestimate the power of stupid people. They come out of the wood work and can do some pretty amazingly stupid things.
