18-year-old Ruben Zarate, entered a muffler shop in the 2600 block of North Laramie Avenue in Chicago and declared a robbery. He allegedly waved a gun around and demanded money, according to police.
When he was told the money was in a safe and that the manager who knew how to open it was not there, the suspect had a brilliant idea; at least he thought it was brilliant.
He gave the shop employees his cell phone number and asked them to call him when the manager arrived so he could open the safe for him.
He left and the employees opted to call 911. Authorities stationed plain clothes officers in the shop and called the would-be robber back.
Zarate, showed up again, and waved his gun around again, but this time was shot in the leg by an officer.
If they shot him in the head it wouldn’t have done any damage.
Yup. Here we are, back again.
Its a shame, the quality of our criminals has really taken a nose dive. I blame the school system.
my god! Isn’t there any limit to stupidity?
Yes, it’s a shame. A shame that the coveted BRDDA and UKKMA awards are mostly reserved for commenters and not the article subjects.
Sheesh! This guy must be on that there dope stuff.

Nope, not in my experience (oh, now THERE’s a straight line for someone!)

#3, zorker,
Isn’t there any limit to stupidity?
The short answer is yes. Stupidity generally stops at the border of the Republican and right wing nut enthusiasts. Every else is much closer to normal.
#8 Yes, the middle is closer to normal, the extremes on both sides long ago adopted stupidity as a way of life…
