We have a real criminal training crisis in this country. Story after story appears about dumb criminals getting caught for dumb crap. Nobody’s pulling exciting ‘Die Hard’-level crimes anymore. We obviously need a multipronged, government sponsored (this guy for Crime Training Czar!) effort to teach these unfortunates how to be successful in their chosen field. And with expensive, overcrowded prisons, we need to ensure they don’t go to jail.
Do it for the children!
Police in Connecticut say even they were surprised by the actions of these criminals: two would-be robbers called a bank ahead of time to get the money ready and were arrested at the scene.
Fairfield police say they arrested 27-year-old Albert Bailey and an unidentified 16-year-old boy on robbery and threatening charges Tuesday afternoon at the People’s United Bank branch on Stratfield Road.
Sgt. James Perez says the two Bridgeport residents called the bank and told a worker to get a bag of money ready. Perez says they showed up at the bank 10 minutes later, but police had been notified and arrested the suspects in the parking lot.
Perez told the Connecticut Post he classifies the suspects as “not too bright.”
Idiots! Call ahead service rarely expedites anything, be it restaurants or bank robbery. They should use the Drive-Thru window next time.
The smart crooks are stealing from a more vulnerable group of victims.
Here is a smarter group of criminals.
The USA produces excellent criminals: Alan Greenspan, George W Bush, Hank Paulson.
These crooks will never get caught, unfortunately.

Thank God this wasn’t in Indiana!
My elderly mother saw this on the news. And she thought that maybe they wanted to be arrested, for the square meals. And I said to her, “For a 20 year stay?”. That’s a long time to assume that the economy will be flat. Stealing a car or something, would probably only get one a few years. But you don’t rob banks and get away with it, unless you’re in bed with the right bunch of politicians.
