He's With Stupid

Not only are our so-called gun control laws failing us on a daily basis, our public schools aren't scoring too high on the old Success-O-Meter either. Case in point - these budding young rocket scientists:

Cops nab teen fare-jumper packing heat

Two true-blue Transit cops determined to reap every last cent due the MBTA have snagged two loaded .357 Magnums after busting dim-bulb tightwads for fare evasion.

"Usually they have money in their pockets. That's the sad thing, "tutted Transit Police Sgt. Detective Michael Adamson.

T Detectives Daniel O'Toole and Robert Pavia were at Andrew Station in South Boston yesterday to meet a witness when they spotted a 16-year-old boy snub the $1.25 admission to rendezvous with Gregory Tate, 23, of Somerville.

O'Toole and Pavia told Tate to move along. But when they noticed an empty holster in the teen's pocket, Tate, who hadn't heeded their advice, was detained.
Adamson said Tate eventually confessed that he had the handcannon in one of his pockets and "a ton of crack" in another.

O'Toole and Pavia recently took a loaded .357 Magnum off Amin Marte, 17, of Roxbury, after he allegedly jumped a turnstile at Downtown Crossing.


Damn, if only they had followed Chris Rock's advice on How Not To Get Your Ass Kicked By the Police.

Now, that shit is funny.
