From a security camera somewhere in China:
There are many ways for a crime to go wrong, but this is a new one on me–throw a brick at the store window and conk your partner in the head. Knocked him out colder than a mackerel. That put the kibosh on the caper. If these guys were working for Dr. Fu Manchu, he ain’t gonna be too pleased with them.
Just had to add this: “Why, the crime rate in this town’s so bad, you can’t throw a brick without hittin’ a robber!”
This is so funny, it’s hard to feel sorry for the guy!
Poetic justice.
Makes me think of a turn of phrase: “Why, the crime rate in that town’s so bad, you can’t throw a brick without hittin’ a robber!” In this case literally.
To shanghai someone is to knock them out to kidnap them. Double funny video that it was uploaded by Shanghai police!
Evoking fond memories of a term paper I once wrote on the theory and practice of shanghai-ing.
