Bank Robber Shoots Himself In The Foot, And Other Great Moments In Dumb Crime

Most dumb criminals are just desperate people screwing up royally on the single worst day of their life.

In one way or another, they're all shooting themselves in the foot. Nevertheless, we found one would-be bank robber from Brazil who literally shot himself in the foot.

Other highlights in HuffPost's Dumb Crime Review: A smirking thief caught on security camera trying to steal that security camera; a woman who allegedly punched her son during an anger management class; and a guy who told police that a ghost punched his wife.

It's all here in our dumb crime roundup video, hosted by Weird News Editors Andy Campbell and Michael McLaughlin.

Is it just me or did anyone else notice that the poor parrot went over the bridge with Shatner in the Priceline ad? No great loss with Shatner going over, but I really feel bad about that parrot. LOL

bank robbers are generally morons. I'm a bank teller in Milwaukee and the cops here catch something like 90% of people who commit bank robberies. I think most of them don't realize they are stealing federally insured money and are going to serious federal prison if busted. They would be much better off robbing a gas station or something.

Well the take is a lot better at a bank than a gas station, plus federal prisons are a lot nicer than state prisons.
