DUMB CRIMINAL OF THE WEEK: THE BOOMERANG BRICK
by Hazed
A short but sweet story about a really dumb criminal from Ireland – and there’s a video too.
This miscreant was found lying in a pool of his own blood next to a car. The owner of the vehicle, local publican Gerry Brady, discovered him, out cold and with his face badly cut, and at first thought he’d been beaten up or maybe was the victim of a hit and run.
Then things got strange. He tried to help the man, only to have the so-called victim turn on him and threaten to blackmail him. As the car owner reported, “He pulled himself up and said he wanted €50 for a taxi. I said ‘Not a chance, I’ve to pay for a new window mate”, that’s when he leaned in and told me he’d burn me out of the pub.”
Gerry and his girlfriend retreated and called the police, and when they arrived the man told them that Gerry had attacked him! So the police did the sensible thing and checked CCTV footage to find out what really happened… and it’s really, really funny.
The video shows the dumb criminal trying to break into Gerry’s car. He starts by throwing small stones at the window, which have no effect. Then he ups the ante and throws a massive brick at the car – and it rebounds and smashes him in the face!
You can watch the video of his incredible performance with the boomerang brick at the source link below.
Truly he is Ireland’s dumbest criminal.
