Ever watch those movies where the criminals are always enterprising, cagey and clever individuals who brilliantly carry out their actions and make the cops look stupid?
Well, in real life, crooks are usually nowhere in the vicinity of that kind of intellect and some of them, in fact, are just south of "Stupidville."
Let me give a sold case in point to back up these thoughts.
Recently, an 18-year-old Wisconsin teenage thug-wannabee allegedly decided he wanted to get some cash via a robbery. His target was to be a local bar and grill in the Janesville area. The young thief even got in standard criminal garb, wearing a bandana, so he couldn't be identified by those he planned to rob and terrorize. He went in the place, probably confident that his "surprise" crime would be a piece of cake to pull off.
When the junior toughie walked into the joint, with his hands close to his pocket, (although he really didn't have a gun in there), it was a big surprise...
FOR HIM!
Why? It seems that the poorly informed dude wasn't aware that the place was full of cops who were in town, due to a golf tournament. Needless to say, there were plenty of folks around to wrestle the clueless cluck to the ground.
Though as of this writing, the wisdom-challenged youth hasn't yet been charged with an attempt to rob the drinking establishment in question, he did get arrested for disorderly conduct.
So much for "smart" criminals!
