LOL! "Don't shoot me!"
Once in a while, there is justice.

This reminds me of the classic scene in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" where they go to the national DA's convention:
The reefer butt is called a "roach,"
because it resembles a cockroach...
cockroach... cockroach...

Well, criminals, by and large, are not the brightest folks out there.

This is like the opening of one of the RoboCop sequels, where the guy tries to rob a donut shop. The fifty cops he didn't notice draw down on him, and the donut guy leans across the counter and asks, "So, what's it like to be a rocket scientist?"

"I'm smooth."
I'm remembering that line for some time in the future.

LOL!! Now everyone knows that John Comparetto had to drop a deuce! Did they really have to put the three minutes in the stall part in the article?

I'm loving the fact he had to walk past the sign advertising the cop convention.
Priceless...

amateur. He'd kick so much ass if he had gotten away with it.

@krestelmas - I believe that is spelled 'woot' (at least, that's how my 19-year-old spells it). Although, with English, it's hard to say...

Can't imagine a story that tops
The retired narc who handily stops
Such a hooligan. Face
It; he chose the wrong place:
A convention of 300 cops!

Sorta reminds me of the time some crackhead tried to boost a battery from a car in front of my house. The car belonged to a cop I know, who worked in the NYPD (Transit) Major Case Squad, which happened to be HQ'd in the subway station downstairs. I called my buddy the cop and next thing you know there's 40 cops surrounding the guy. Made him put the battery back in the car too... in handcuffs, with a snub .38 screwed into his ear. Bwwhhaahahahah!

Wewt is a recognized alternative spelling, as is wootz and wootzor.
