After reading an article about a 24 year old man charged with arson on a limousine business in Austin, I could not help but laugh and think to myself ' what a dumb criminal.' The man by the name of William Smith was questioned while being treated for burns in a medical center in San Antonio by investigators. According to Smith, he was planning on gambling at an un named gaming place with his friends, when one of his friends found out the place was closes and got very angry. In fact he was so angry that he decided to break into the next door AAA limousine business, steal a limo and set the limousine company on fire.
According to the police report there was evidence that the driver of the limousine had been burned, after sampling charred skin samples from the limo. There was also a report of a can of gasoline sitting next to Smith's truck, which happened to be conveniently parked in front of AAA Limousine. Investigators also reported that Smith's clothes smelled like gasoline and his burns looked like he had been the one to ignite the fuel and was close to the fire.
First of all if you are that obsessed with gambling that you have to take it out on a limo company by means of grand theft auto and arson, go to Vegas. As far as I know you can gamble any time you want even at 5 a.m. (This is the time the fireman were called to put out the fire.) Second this person while spending a few years in prison-I imagine for arson and auto theft, should seek anger management therapy. You must have serious issues for committing these crimes over gambling. Criminals are seriously getting dumber. They have dumb excuses for the crimes and don't know how to hide evidence. I mean seriously try not leaving your vehicle and a can of gasoline in front of the crime scene. Also don't stand so close to the building after your sorry attempt at burning the place down. The only good that comes out of moronic criminals is me laughing at them while the rot in jail/prison. =)

Blog Stage 6
In response to Greediocracy's report.
I fully agree with your article, "A Happy Halloween Indeed." I myself avoided going downtown this Halloween because of the increase in drunk drivers after dodging several just while walking to my car from sixth street two years ago on Halloween. I really like this new idea of the 'No Refusal' policy. There are too many deaths and injuries in Texas from drunk drivers every year. The 'No Refusal' policy cuts numbers of drunk drivers down because they know if they get pulled over they can't refuse a breath sample of blood sample.I wish the 'No Refusal' policy could be a law in Texas for every day of the year.
Last month at 5 p.m. my Dad was hit by a drunk driver at a stop light. (He's fine)Of course it didn't help the fact that the drunk driver was an illegal immigrant.This was in the middle of the day on a weekday! The sad thing is that this occurs more often than we know. I liked your comment on how less intoxicated drivers means safer streets. It is also true that especially Austin drivers can't even drive sober. Much less drunk! I like the fact that the now annual Halloween weekend 'No Refusal' policy has cut the numbers of drunk drivers in half.If the 'No Refusal' policy could be an every day thing, I wonder what it would do to the state wide numbers of drunk drivers in Texas.

The Texas Lottery
Willis is a sixty-seven year old man from Texas who had a winning Texas lottery ticket in the amount of one million dollars taken from him by a local convenient store clerk. Willis, who had played the Texas lottery for ten years at the Lucy Food Store simply wanted the local clerk to check to see if he had the winning numbers. The clerk lied and said the ticked was only worth two dollars. Former clerk Pankaj Joshi cashed in the winning million dollar ticket at the Texas Lottery Commissions office, and fled the country taking 750,000 dollars.
After Joshi was charged claiming the lottery prize by fraud, Willis went with his attorney to the Texas Lottery Commission with high hopes of claiming his stolen prize. When he walked away minutes later with nothing he decided to sue the Texas Lottery Commission unless he gets his well deserved money. He is currently unemployed because of medical problems and needs the money to pay the medical bills and send his daughter to college.
I believe the Texas Lottery Commission is being stubborn and not very smart by claiming that the man Joshi charged with fraud was the one who cashed in so he deserves to keep the money. He is nothing but a dirty thief who took advantage of an old man. A loyal customer non the less. I believe the Texas Lottery Commission should pay Willis what he deserves. He was lied to and basically robbed of his rightfully owned one million dollars. This situation is making the Texas Lottery Commission look bad and I wouldn't be surprised if more people will stop playing the lottery for fear of things going wrong. Willis opens a lot of eyes to the kind of people behind the Texas Lottery Commission. The kind who after giving money to a criminal refuse the money to the rightful owner.
