    it sometimes amazes me how stoopid criminals can be…in this case, they could run, but they couldn’t hide :D

    The SPD Blotter read is just hilarious. You can just see these guys coming up with the great idea of robbing someone, celebrating their “score” with high fives and then crashing into a ditch. I mean even if the victim had $100 on her, split 3 ways is about $30 for 12 hours of “work”. They could have just clocked into a $9 an hour job and they would have been way ahead.
    .
    Perhaps they should have come up with better targets, better execution and a better escape plan.

    Stupid POS.

    Yeah, The Darwin Effect is doing its job. Now let’s hope the justice system doesn’t impede on it.

    Attempted armed robbery, strong armed robbery. This should put them away for a good amount of time.

    The Darwin Effect is only working if it excludes these rejects from “swimming in the gene pool”!

    While this one is funny, it doesn’t change the fact that’s street robberies are increasing and something needs to be done. In the past couple of day we have had this, an attempted robbery on the Burke-Gillman trail, the bus robbery and a killing in White Center. Way too much violent crime…

Sorry, comment time is over.
