Kentucky dispatchers repeatedly told police officers the address of a house they were supposed to raid over an alleged stolen Weed Eater, only for the cops to raid the wrong home and kill the man inside.

But the man who police say admitted to stealing the Weed Eater from a home of a local judge had already been in custody prior to the deadly raid that took place minutes before midnight last month, according to WLEX. That man told police he had stored the stolen Weed Eater at a home at 489 Vanzant Road which is a rural area outside of London city limits.

    “Oh don’t like the cops? I guess the next time you’re in trouble you’ll call a crackhead?”

    That does seem to have a better survival rate

      If given the option of where my tax money would go, I’d give crackheads a try at this point, yes.

        Worst case scenario, we’ll learn new recycling habits, like using old coke cans as bowls.

        No joke, my boyfriend actually used an old Coca-Cola can to smoke weed out of because he forgot that I owned a couple of actual pipes.

        I mean he’s not that bright, at least he doesn’t seem too bright, but then he pulls some shit like that and I feel kinda dumb and sorry for misjudging him.

        I guess what Einstein said is true, if you judge a fish based on its ability to fly or a bird on its ability to swim, you’ll think they’re both worthless idiots. Not exactly what he said mind you, but that was the sentiment.

          I like it. I’ll be stealing that to talk about centrists not understand how they lost the election. :-) Will follow your comments for more.

      I know 3 crackheads right now that would handle things with a much cooler head than the police here. And that is not an exaggeration.
