The suspects, armed with a shotgun and three handguns, allegedly entered a house on the 2600 block of Alta Street in Lincoln Heights, said Officer Norma Eisenman of the [URL="http://www.latimes.com/topic/crime-law-justice/law-enforcement/los-angeles-police-department-ORGOV000939.topic"]Los Angeles Police Department[/URL]. The resident, who was the only person home at the time, saw the suspects on a home surveillance system and called 911 about 2:40 a.m., she said. As police and SWAT units arrived, one suspect was seen fleeing the scene, and was immediately apprehended by officers. Two other suspects remained in the house, while the fourth ran and hid, Eisenman said. The two men inside then allegedly told the resident to identify them to police as victims too, and convinced the resident to tie them up in the home, according to police. The resident obliged, and fled the home, telling the police what had happened while the two suspects remained tied up inside. Police did not immediately enter the residence, Eisenman said. After some time the suspects “got tired of waiting” and emerged. ... “They came out, still tied up, thinking that we were going to believe they were victims also,” Eisenman said. “That’s what you call felony stupid.”[/quote][quote]james the great at 1:12 PM December 29, 2013 what looks to Me is some obama types tried to Rob a street smart sophistcated Latino Dope dealer.. hey black criminals, maybee if someone in your group was a thinker and organizer, you guys wouldn't get caught so much and end up in the Penal System... can't blame the ''White Man'' when your convicted of shooting a store cleark in the back in broad daylight in front of a Huge crowd of people and still keep the gun.[/quote]

Comments in news. You'd think half the country was still living in the 1800s. This isn't an issue specific to the USA, but it's truly sad when the population of a country has access to the internet, a supposedly first-world education, and practically limitless opportunity for self-improvement from birth, and half of them are still shitty examples of humanity.

Robberers?

Did they watch that one episode of burn notice before pulling this stunt thinking it'd work?

[QUOTE=PolarEventide;43357447]Robberers?[/QUOTE] I thought that was intentional.

[QUOTE=DemonElite;43357449]Did they watch that one episode of burn notice before pulling this stunt thinking it'd work?[/QUOTE] If they were taking inspiration from Burn Notice, there would have been a lot more unnecessary explosions, one-liners, and gratuitous booty shots.

Sounds like Inside Man, except there was no planning.

Fucking Obama types

That's hilarious. Half of them ran away and got arrested. The other half were massively incompetent. I can't imagine many criminals using the honor system and yet, here we are. [editline]30th December 2013[/editline] I wonder if their defense will be "No! We really were the victims here! That woman is the one that broke in! She tied us all up!"

It was just so boring. Like, I've never seen a show that managed to become more boring the more action it threw in.

sounds like a failed run of payday2

There was an episode I liked though, where he pretended to be some devil-incarnate businessman who'd snap his fingers and rigged explosives went off all the time. It was doofy but well played and yeah I'd really like to know how they thought things would play out with their play-the-victim scheme, though you have to commend them for making an attempt to do [i]something[/i] when cornered, especially a peaceful route.

[QUOTE=TestECull;43360853]Not everyone wants or has the means to self-improve.[/QUOTE] yeah, a lot of people lack the will to improve/expand outlook and knowledge, primarily because they don't even feel they [I]need[/I] to. We all know how zealously overconfident some people are in how factual their opinions and hearsay info clearly is
