Friday again. Must be something funny. How about comical crooks. Let me check. Ah! Here’s one:
Armed robber Andrew Hennells was caught after he boasted on Facebook about his plans to raid a supermarket in a post which included a selfie, a picture of a knife, and the words: “Doing. Tesco. Over.”
Police caught him 15 minutes later with the knife and £410 in cash stolen from a Tesco in King’s Lynn, Norfolk.
He was jailed for four years last April.
No fair laughing. This guy needs help.

If there was ever any doubt before that social media – or the internet itself – can mutate the human brain to a point of degeneration I believe this sort of [nearly unbelievable] case study would confirm the phenomenon.
He’s not the only one, by the way – a bunch of thugs in Flyover Great Again Nation bragged on FB about a stickup and violence they had just wreaked in their home town.
Surprise, surprise when they were apprehended.
Very true, Byron. Every week I seek out something new and funny to post on Friday, and when desperation sets in I always know I can Google “stupid crooks,” and there is something new. And funny.
