Idiot of the Day

 Nothing like a Tackleberry wannabe......


Don't think this was staged as it is doubtful Bass Pro Shops would allow their employees, facilities, and logos to be used in such a stunt.

There's stupid, then there's this dumb ass stupid !

Good way to get smoked. And the douchebag had a guy there filming him.

Likely fake....but if not, he's lucky he wasn't drawn down on by a concealed carry citizen and shot dead. It would have been completely justified.

It has gone viral so they succeeded. And JJ helped make it happen!

Some people only understand a good kick in the ass.

Yeah, most folks have themselves video'ed at all times when they casually shop. For example, when the wife and I go to Kroger, we tape each other at all times, especially when choosing a couple of steaks or deciding whether to get the 12 jumbo or 8 mega rolls of toilet paper. Hey, who can tell when hilarity might suddenly just happen and make us into "content creators"...

Kingfish said...

Like I wrote , I seriously doubt Bass Pro gives permission for their employees to participate in this sort of thing much less allow it in their store.

Exactly. "Fake" is the numbskulls "creating content" for clicks.....the two poor men behind the counter likely almost had a stroke.

That's AI. No, seriously, it's AI. For those that say it isn't, are you seriously suggesting that anyone with REAL intelligence would pulled such a stupid stunt?

So, add me to the list of folks who say this guy - especially in this day and age in a place like Bass Pro - is lucky he wasn't shot by one or more folks who didn't understand a guy waving a shotgun around and yelling, "Get on the fucking ground!" was just for grins and giggles. And even if everyone in the store was in on it, they would all be they would all be morally guilty if some halfwit kid (i.e., 99.99% of kids) copied this idiotic "content" in a "less creational" situation and did get shot or killed. Either way, like I said, it's actual, real, and genuine AI in action...

Sad, but somewhat true.

That wasn't a stunt. It was a crime:

"A person commits the offense of making a terroristic threat when the person makes a threat to commit a crime of violence or a threat to cause bodily injury to another person if the threat does in fact cause a reasonable expectation or reasonable fear of the imminent commission of an offense and if, in making the threat, the person has the intent to . . . Intimidate or coerce a . . . segment of a civilian population" 97-7-75(2)(a)(i).

"A person is guilty of simple assault if he . . . attempts by physical menace to put another in fear of imminent serious bodily harm . . . " 97-3-7(1)(a)(iii).

"If any person . . . in the presence of another person, brandish or wield the same in a threatening manner, not in necessary self-defense . . . " 97-37-19.

"A person who wilfully disturbs the peace of any family or person . . . by loud or unusual noise, or by any tumultuous or offensive conduct . . . " 97-35-9.

"It shall be unlawful for any person or persons, while in or on the premises of another . . . or any other lawful business is operated which engages in selling articles of merchandise . . . interfere with . . . other persons . . . invited upon said premises . . . in the normal course of the operation of the business conducted and carried on upon said premises." 97-35-5(1)(b).

And that's just at the state level. This mouth-breathing idiot should be arrested and charged accordingly.

9:37, You really don't believe this level of idiocy exists?

The problem is, idiots can now get famous for it and make money off of it.

I was in that Bass Pro Shop about a month ago. It’s in Tyler, Texas and those counter guys a real pros on firearms.

This isn’t in Mississippi. Those statutes are irrelevant.

That’s a negative. I have software that detects AI.

12:22, 9:37 here - it was an "AI" joke (hastily written with the grandkids wanting...to be grandkids), you know, like, "How do you know if it is 'AI?' Look at the investor base."

It's damnedest thing to come along since the last damnedest thing. Ask even the stupidest SOB, "Hey, you wanna buy some artificial heart meds? How about an artificial Rolex with artificial diamonds? An artificial truck? Some artificial steak, Scotch, Bourbon, wine, apples, or oranges?," and they'll look at you like you're the moron. But say, "Hey, we're mining artificial money...with AI!" and the same idiots say, "Here's all my spare cash! Wait! I'll go raid my savings account, the kids' college fund, and take out a second mortgage! Say, know where I could sell a kidney?"

And it is going to end about as a well as all damnedest things end.

4:24: Here's the law in Texas, smartass:

Aggravated Assault: "A person commits an offense if the person commits assault as defined in Section 22.01 and the person . . . uses or exhibits a deadly weapon during the commission of the assault." Sec 22.02(a)(2).

Assault: "A person commits an offense if the person . . . intentionally or knowingly threatens another with imminent bodily injury" Sec. 22.01(a)(2).

Terroristic Threat: "A person commits an offense if he threatens to commit any offense involving violence to any person . . . place any person in fear of imminent serious bodily injury" Sec. 22.07(a)(2)

Disorderly Conduct: "A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly . . . displays a firearm or other deadly weapon in a public place in a manner calculated to alarm" Sec. 42.01(a)(8)

Well, now, that one might be a problem should it be pursued. But really, are the technical legalities truly what matters here?

Anonymous said...

He's one lucky mofo. Pulling a robbery stunt like that in a gun store won't end well in most instances.

Kingfish said...

Remember this little incident in Richland?

9:13, If by “ technical legalities” you mean whether this guy committed any crimes, then yes it matters.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
