There comes a time when you have to stop doing something because you’re just too old or maybe your eyesight isn’t good enough any more. An Austrian hunter tried to shoot down a parked car, mistaking it for a wild boar while hunting. The 67-year-old man said he had briefly dozed off in his watchtower, and when he woke up, he thought the vehicle was wild game and shot at it.… Continue

The store clerk put the money in a bag, and had turned around to get him the smokes when Derrick decided to tuck his gun back into the waistband of his pants. The gun went off and he ended up shooting… Continue

The police didn’t buy it and arrested her anyway.

Today’s dumbass is a female would-be bank robber who doesn’t have the stones to follow through.

The arresting officer says the woman reeked of alcohol, slurred her speech, and was belligerent. She was booked, released, and told to go home and stay… Continue

Lincoln, Nebraska, police actually ended up arresting someone who had called them for help. A 25-year-old man was ’squatting’ in an empty apartment and had illegally changed the locks. He called police to report that someone was trying to break in - turns out it was the apartment manager trying to use his key. The squatter was arrested for… Continue
