Low I.Q. genious is taking incremental steps towards winning a Darwin Award.


The exchange of a Prius for a few stolen firearms was a poor trade.


This guy could be one of the Characters in The Shawshank Redemption.


A Prius? I appreciate the convert but we purchase fire arms, that for free stuff is over.


I thought they stopped selling guns at that store a while back. Did they start again?


I don’t think he left much evidence behind, well, except his car, license plate and massive amounts of dna.


the Prius was a nice twist…


He used a PRIUS to commit the dastardly deed??? lol
