So a guy gets some plates for his car and people get all huffy over it. I told you… America’s becoming more prude all the time.

… there is something I am trying to explain to somebody but I just can’t get it right. When I think about it in my head it all makes perfect sense but when put in to words it sounds like crap. So I try to come up with examples, but sometimes this is not so easy and it ends up confusing things more. It just gets more and more confusing until I don’t really understand it myself. Do you know what I mean? Did I explain that OK? No? Well it’s like when ….umm….. oh fuck it
A little late, but here it is…

ROGERSVILLE, Tennessee (AP) — The party’s over for four inmates accused of going on a beer run after the jail’s doors were accidentally left unlocked.
The best part, these moron came back!
The men were charged Monday with escape and bringing alcohol into a jail.
The breakout occurred Thursday night after cellblock doors at the Hawkins County Jail were left unlocked and a faulty control panel failed to alert jailers, Sheriff Warren Rimer said.
Two of the inmates walked out through a fire exit, leaving the door propped open with a Bible, and made a hole in the exercise yard fence. They walked to a market, bought some beer and returned to the jail to share it with other prisoners. When the booze ran out, the other two inmates made another beer run to a different store.
Authorities believe the inmates bought more than two cases of beer in all.
“I guess they thought if they came back they wouldn’t be charged with escape,” Rimer said, “but they were wrong.”
The store visits did not raise alarm because the inmates were wearing street clothes borrowed from other prisoners. The crowded jail does not have enough orange jumpsuits to go around.
Congrats guys, you bring new light to the phrase IDIOT!
A car speeds through city streets, screaming police cruisers in hot pursuit and a helicopter flying above.
The thrilling chase goes against traffic on busy avenues, through parking lots, onto sidewalks and an interstate highway.
Finally, the wanted man throws a bag of contraband out the window, hoping to throw the heat off his tail.
Drugs? Money? Nope — stolen library books.
“The officers were a little taken aback when they found out what the deal was. They couldn’t believe it,” said Syracuse, N.Y., police spokesman Sgt. Tom Connellan about the chase, which took place Sunday afternoon.
Byron Haynes, 36, of Syracuse, was arraigned Monday, charged with reckless endangerment, petty larceny and reckless driving.
Haynes allegedly ran out of Syracuse University’s Bird Library at about 4:30 p.m. Sunday, setting off the building’s alarm.
Moments later, an officer saw Haynes running a stop sign in his Ford Expedition and gave chase, reports the Syracuse Post-Standard.
A dozen squad cars soon became involved, and for the next 10 minutes chased Haynes the wrong way onto Erie Boulevard and onto Interstate 690.
“We assumed it was drugs or guns the way he was driving,” Connellan said.
Haynes tossed his backpack out the window at one point, but kept going.
Finally, cops abandoned the surface chase simply because it had gotten too dangerous. There ended up being no injuries or property damage.
“It was stupid and reckless,” said Connellan.
Police followed the Expedition by helicopter to a city park, where Haynes ditched the car, then ran. He was caught after a short foot pursuit.
“We even brought in a canine to go through the car,” Connellan said. “Nothing.”
Police located and opened the backpack Haynes allegedly threw out to find five books on Judaism. Connellan did not know their titles or authors.
Haynes gave no explanation for either the alleged theft or the chase. A Syracuse University spokesman said he was not a student at the school.
