The farcical American welfare-state has a new posterchild. Meet Florida-resident Nicholas Jackson, who tried to purchase a brand new $60,000 BMW X-6 SUV with his Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card ...
That's not what Food Stamps are for!!
But, as New York Daily News' Sasha Goldstein explains, after failing to use his us-taxpayer-funded credit card to buy the high-end German luxury car, he decided to steal it...but was caught when he ran out of gas (according to police).
Nicholas Jackson, 36, showed up to a Pompano Beach dealership with little in the way of currency and was sent away, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office said. But the next day, the business was burglarized, and the owner found the $60,000 BMW X-6 and 60 sets of keys missing, police said.
Cops later caught up to Jackson in Palm City, some 70 miles north of Pompano, where authorities say he drove until the car ran out of gas. They also found the BMW with the gas tank on empty.
Jackson got a ride to the Martin County Jail, where he’s charged with grand theft auto and held on $20,000 bond.

Of course, in this new socialist norm in which we live, the Bernie-ites will defend the arrogance and ignorance of Jackson since why should he not 'take' from the rich? It's only fair!
Boob Jackson's mistake was trying to take his booty in one lump sum rather than parceling it out over time!
Incidentally, any of you Freepers care to guess how many bastard babies this SOB had to sire in order to come up with the car money?
he is king of all blacks. Stole it and then ran out of gas. Did he fall asleep? I applaud him
well, they are pretty good cars....
Florida Man strikes again!
“We may not have ‘em very long,
but we has ‘em FIRST.”
prolly has a rap sheet that stretches from Tallahassee to Key West
Of couse, the dealer turned him down due to racisssmmmm......
He ran it til he ran it out of gas, and they found it with the tank on empty...ok then...
LOL!
Top notch police work!
Maybe put them on CSI.
We need crackerjack thinking and reporting like that.
In a few years we’ll be reading about Little Marco Rubio trying to pull that stunt.
Wonder who he voted for?
He should have just used his smile.
