Retarded Robbery

Although we should probably feel sorry for this would-be Californian robber, James Elliot’s untimely death deserves a mention on this list. When his .38 caliber rifle failed to fire at his intended victim, he did something that will inspire wonder for years to come. He peered down the barrel and pulled the trigger again.

In case you’re wondering, it worked the second time around! What can we say--this dumb robber went out with a bang!
