He Tried To Steal A Car, Now He Claims The Real Crime Was The Beating That Followed
 
A 36-year-old claims eight or nine people beat him up after he tried to steal a car.

Michael Prince says he was struck multiple times in the head with a hammer.

In the past, Prince has boasted of stealing more than $1 million in merchandise.

Stories of crime and consequence often play out in unexpected ways, sometimes blurring the line between victim and offender. In Winnipeg, Canada, Michael Prince, a man with 17 convictions for property crimes, is now suing staff at Dino’s Grocery Mart for allegedly beating him after he tried to steal a car from the store’s parking lot. It’s a bizarre story that underscores how crime rarely works out the way its perpetrators intend.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

You couldn't create a story like this.

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

Its Canada.  He will probably win a very large settlement, settle down, give up his life of crime and become a productive citizen.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
Douchewheel denies his crime, blames the response.

That goes both ways. Shouldn't have tried to steal a car buddy, you invited the response.
