I don't really know what to say about these two stories. I think the quote at the end of the second one says it best.

HEAD MAN: While Cranston Baccus, 30, was standing in line to check out at
the Gold Star Market in Toledo, Ohio, a robber burst in and took him
hostage, putting a gun to his head and demanding money from the
cashier. But before the cashier could comply, the gun went off and
Baccus fell dying, shot in the head. The gunman cried "Oh my God" and
fled, but police quickly caught Joseph Allen Wilson, 18, who told them
that the shooting was an accident. Baccus was in on the crime, police
discovered; the two men planned to split up the loot. Wilson was
charged with robbery and involuntary manslaughter. (Toledo Blade)
...Remember: "Use your head" always refers to your own.

HEAD CASE II: Christopher Bonadiman, 20, and Richard Allan Eppard, 20,
allegedly decided to pull a drive-by shooting in Fontana, Calif.
Bonadiman, who was driving, apparently approached their target from the
wrong direction, meaning Eppard had to shoot through the driver's
window. As they tracked by the victim, Eppard kept shooting -- and hit
Bonadiman in the head. Their target was not injured. "I would say that
this is probably one of the stupidest people we've come across in a
very long time," a police spokesman said. Eppard has been charged with
murder. (Fontana Herald-News, AP) ..."The difference between
intelligence and stupidity is that intelligence has its limits."

Another subscriber to "This is True", I see. :D I just read these two stories in this week's issue and thought "I wonder if anyone's posted this to THR yet?"
