A MAN TRIED TO ROB A BANK AFTER PAYING $500 TO A WIZARD TO MAKE HIM INVISIBLE

wizard-bank-robber

Never trust strangers. That is something most of us were taught by our parents or guardians at an early stage of our life, especially if the stranger says he is a sorcerer who can turn you invisible whilst you rob a bank!

Unfortunately, for one man in Iran, he made the mistake of trusting a fake sorcerer who convinced him that he was invisible and could rob a bank safely. The man explained to the court that he had paid five million rials (just under £290) to a wizard imposter, who in return gave him a set of spells to tie to his arm. The fake sorcerer explained to him that the spells would make him invisible, and that he could then rob banks all he wanted.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

I'm sure it sounded legit.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

That's what I thought too. Never knew Florida Man has kinfolk in Iran.
Think of this.
He walk into the bank grabbing money from customer's hands.
Thinking he was invisible and would not be seen.
But even if he actually was invisible, wouldn't they see the money floating around the bank in mid-air?
This guy is not the brightest bulb in the box.

Florida Man,Iran Man. It makes no difference because none of them are even sure where or what they are.

The good news here is this one isn't registered to vote Dim.

Probably.

Moment paralyzed deaf-mute teenager attempts to rob a jewelry shop in Brazil with a fake gun held with his FEET
By Adry Torres For Dailymail.com
Published: 17:33 EDT, 26 May 2020 | Updated: 03:47 EDT, 28 May 2020

This is the moment a paralyzed deaf-mute teenager tried to rob a jewelry store in Brazil by aiming a fake gun with his feet.

The astonishing incident unfolded Monday afternoon at a shop in Canela, Rio Grande de Sul, when the 19-year-old placed a threatening note on the counter using his feet.

The note from the suspect, who authorities say has cerebral palsy and cannot move his hands, read: 'Hand over everything. Don't raise attention.'

A store surveillance camera captured the disabled teen in his wheelchair before he aimed a plastic toy gun wedged between his bare feet at the counter. ...

A woman was fatally shot and her boyfriend wounded by a gunman who reportedly took issue with how the couple told their dog to poop during a walk in Denver on Wednesday.

The victims — identified in reports as Isabella Thallas, 21, and Darian Simon — were walking their pooch near Coors Field when 36-year-old suspect Michael Close quarreled with them from inside his apartment, the Denver Post reported.

“The suspect got into a verbal altercation with the victims related to the victims telling the dog to poop,” according to a probable cause statement obtained by the newspaper.

Close reportedly asked the couple if they were going to train their pooch or just yell at it, the police records state.  ...

By Yaron Steinbuch

A 56-year-old North Dakota drowned in a giant vat of sunflower seeds when she lost her footing and was sucked inside the grain bin, according to a report.

The unidentified Montpelier woman met her fate in the ghastly accident at the Glinz Farm in Pingree, where she had been helping two trucks unload seeds on Wednesday, the Jamestown Sun reported.

The woman was wearing a harness, but it was not attached at the time of the accident and she plunged inside the massive container, according to the news outlet. ...

That is a hazard of working in any grain bin.
"Drowning" might not be as accurate as suffocated, because wen you exhale, the grain shifts to fill the space your body leaves when you breathe out, and each successive breath will be smaller.
The overall effect is the same.
Between 20-30 people a year get killed this way.

Or even "Florida Undecided",who "dresses" appropriately for whatever party it is going to attend.a

I was just wondering if maybe it was a guy who thought nobody would find an xray image of a man with TWO penises to be somewhat unusual,and worthy of a closer look.
