At times you can chuckle about the stupidity of these criminals.
This stupidity, coupled with say with a desire for another hit of drugs is what leads them into robbing a convenience store at midnight, knowing there is no more than twenty dollars in the till, shooting and/or killing the clerk, all the while being captured on video.
Stupid, yes, potentially very dangerous; that is also a yes.
