What unbelievably dumb crimes should become prestige properties?
the true crime that's worth your time
Huge thanks to Calcs at Cup Of Coffee for tipping me to a real Darwin Award of a crime story out of Milwaukee.
The complaint says the man attended a Sept. 8 doubleheader against the San Francisco Giants at Milwaukee's American Family Field, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. He said he drank at least 10 beers, passed out, woke up and got back inside the stadium by pulling on a door until it opened.
He found his way to the clubhouse and started taking stuff from the locker room, the complaint said.
…
The man then ordered an Uber to take him home.
There is SO MUCH “God protects fools and children” stupid in this story, and it made me think about what it would look like as a prestige limited docuseries on Netflix or HBO Max. This, or the miscarriage of justice that is that dude who got arrested for hucking a White Claw at Ted Cruz.
What’s the absolute dumbest, Darwin Award-iest crime you’d like to see turned into a prestige property — or at least a pitch-perfect American Vandal-style series? — SDB
