2012’s Dumbest Criminals Are Painfully Dumb
It turns out to make it onto a list of the dumbest criminals, you have to actually be pretty dumb. Granted, we can't all be masterminds, but it probably doesn't take much to know you shouldn't make a YouTube video boasting about the bank you just robbed. Or tweet about punching a guy in the face. Nor should you get into a fist fight over a piece of birthday cake.
If you need a little pick-me-up, or something to make you feel like you're maybe actually at least kind of smart, check out this hilarious/depressing list of the dumbest criminals of 2012 over at TruTV.
