Poor kid. Since he only got wounded he doesn't qualify for a Darwin Award, but there is a chance for an honorable mention.

I was thinking about Darwin too, but I don't think it's quite creative enough for them.

Did he resemble a large chihuahua?

No, but not being able to read those ballots in Florida does.

What I want to know is, why did the police shoot him twice? He didn't have a real gun so he couldn't have fired at them first.
I can just see the cops driving down the street alongside this bicycle popping shots off. I wonder if the cops hit anyone's house or car while they were spraying the countryside with bullets chasing the chalupa bandit?
Had the cops managed to kill the kid, we'd have a completely different thread here.
I'd say you have two stupidos there.

No
Does trying to turn every thread into a political debate qualify as stupid?
No, but it sure smacks of OCD.

Here's another story with a bit more detail on the genius thief.
When Maddox saw the police car pull up, authorities said he began pedaling toward the car, screaming and pointing his weapon at them. One of the officers fired at him and missed. Maddox then allegedly kept riding, while pointing his weapon back at the officers.
It's one thing to rob a store with a toy gun, but it's stupid to try and scare off police by waving it at them. I don't think waiting on a chalupa after the clerk has emptied the cash register leaves much doubt that more than the kid's gun wasn't working that night.

Reminds me of an old joke...
When God was handing out brains, this kid thought he said trains, and said, "No thanks, I don't want any."

We have friends (yes we do) who have 3 boys.
Two are normal one like this kid.
He pulled a knive on a security guard who had a gun. survived
He made his own set of those martial art things - two pieces of pipe with a short chain between them - and twirling them in the garage smacked himself in the mouth and broke all his front teeth out.
He finally moved out and is living with some older woman who has a bunch of kids and needed a little stud to pop some more out.

Thank you for that link Uaru, now that kid really IS stupid!
Gravid, I think those martial arts thingys are called "numchucks" (sp?)
The kid would be called a numbskull!

I love news stories like that. I consider them "feel good stories." When I read about the actions of someone that stupid I feel good about knowing better.
I wonder if anyone has thought to place a chalupa on the kids meal tray yet. Maybe a little note with it, "Here's your chalupa you wanted so badly."
He was so dense he could bent light.
