Ooh, ouch.  I would feel sorry for this guy if it weren’t his own stupid fault, but alas, this is one of those headlines that should make it’s way on Jay Leno or David Letterman under some skit called “Stupid Criminals” or something.  Apparently a man was trying to rob a convenient store for some cash and a pack of cigarettes (Gee, just one?), when he tried to put the gun back into the waistband of his pants. 

Sounds like the gun’s safety was still off, because the guy ended up shooting himself in the groin area in the process, injuring one of his testicles and also part of his leg in the process.  Poor guy - not!  He’s 25 years old and lives in Indiana, where the robbery took place.  This is a great example of why crime doesn’t pay, or rather why it pays you back, and not the way you’d like. 

The criminals did end up getting caught right away.  Police found him with his injuries at his home and plan to charge his with armed robbery - after his wounds get tended to, of course.  Imagine the shock when the clerk heard the gun discharge - I bet she was thanking God that it wasn’t meant for her.  The good thing is, no one was injured except for the idiot who robbed the place. 

This is just one of those examples where it shows that people who resort to crime instead of using their minds and ingenuity to make a dime get punished in one way or another.  Call it karma or whatever, but I believe it that more and more every day with life experiences and news stories exactly like this!
