Criminal Genius Seeks Hitman on Facebook

[Stevepinto3]

I'm glad they are so many stupid criminals. If they were smart it would make them too damn hard to catch.

the idiocy of this man is comparable to the logic that leads to an act that justifies a darwin award.

Impossibly stupid criminal number 25363...

"certainly limited the defenses that were available to him."

Limited?

What possible defense could e of used? Insanity is out of the question since trying to get a hitman implies premeditation (thus killing any chance for insanity plea), and it is hard to claim he didn't do it because the writing is quite literally on the wall.

 

[lacktheknack]

The way you're talking is as though it is an impossible feeling to hold. Look around you i n this thread, people are assuming he raped her - forgetting that it is alleged - people ARE calling for execution.

Well, he admitted it, allegedly posted for a hitman on Facebook, and pleaded guilty to both counts, and got arrested for asking for a hitman... sometimes, there's enough evidence right there for people to make a small logical step.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

And he -didn't- plead insanity?

He couldn't since hiring a hitman implies premeditation (I.E. he planned it out), which is a big blow to any insanity case. Insanity isn't as used as common as Hollywood makes you think it does, it is only ever attempted in 1% of all cases and only has a 25% success rate when attempted. Also, if you some how try and win this "get out scot free" way of prison, you don't face a set sentence, the asylum can hold onto you for as long as they please.

My god he's a idiot...
I guess if some person really desperate and stupid enough needed the money, I guess that's somewhat thinkable.. but I'd imagine a professional would probably laugh at anyhting under 100x that ammount.

This man is human scum, utter filth. I hope he enjoys being locked away from the world in a cage.

One more stupid git removed from the streets. I'm quite happy with the result.

He said he wanted to blow up an airport. Whether thats a joke or not isnt something you just brush right over, especially in today's day and age.

When said comment could have been seen by around 20 people without looking specifically for it, was used as part of a conversation between two people in friendly joking terms, and resulted in the Police storming his house, stealing his equipment - that they still haven't returned or apologised for, and the resultant court case - despite hundreds of other similar comments made on Twitter, Blogs and Bookface daily; I'm calling a slight over-reaction.

"Crap! Robin Hood Airport is closed. You've got a week... otherwise I'm blowing the airport sky high!"

Besides, I was also thinking more towards the comments he made about the Atomic Bomb use against Japan that ruffled some feathers.

But you're OK with Clarkson's Mexican Rant, Bieber's "Rape" comments or should "celebrities" never make jokes that could ruffle feathers?

 

[kouriichi]

I hate facebook. I refuse to use it.
I made an account only so i could try that game "Echo Bazaar".
It was decent, but after it lost its luster i havent been on facebook again.

This sums up my reasons why.

 

[Vicarious Vangaurd]

I can't believe he was thinking he could get a hitman for $500...I mean oh my how terrible

 

[icyneesan]

I kinda wanna friend this guy...

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

Idiot, he should've just sat down and let things come to pass. It's a lot easier to prove he raped her now that he's been trying to kill her.

 

[Greenhand]

This is a bit of an over reaction, I'm pretty sure this was just a "I'm really angry and this bullshit" kind of facebook posts.

I can really, really easily see this entire situation being misinterpreted. It's not fair to judge if you don't know both sides to the story. Consider this; The rape claims are actually false, she was drunk, she overreacted, there could be any number of reasons. The guy's pissed and posts on his facebook that he wants the girl dead, not the smartest thing to do but it could clearly be defended as an expression of anger that he was feeling for being mischarged.

Then again, maybe he actually did try to rape her. I won't be the judge though.

The first post may have been an angry joke, but the second? Here's a good little 'rule to live by': After the cops question you, don't do anything that could get you in any trouble. Don't jaywalk, don't litter and don't joke about having someone killed.

 

[MurderousToaster]

I'm confused, in what way does rape make someone a "Criminal Genius"?

 

[cke]

Its just too bad the guy isn't being executed.

That's a bit harsh, don't you think?

If only his parents had administered a few fatal beatings he might have turn out to be quite a different young man.

Fatal beatings? Yes, he would've turned out a bit more dead. (Not just brain dead *bdum-tsh*).
