Paint manufacturer lawsuit, most assuredly. Insufficient warning labels.

And the gene pool gets just a tad deeper. With any luck, this moron DID NOT reproduce before he died.

This reminds me of a thing I saw on TV about two bank robbers who were caught and couldn’t understand how the cops identified them. They told law enforcement officials that they were told that if they rubbed lemon juice on their faces, their faces would be blurred on the security cameras. Weird.

Add this to the “lessons learned” folder.

Unsuccessful criminals improvise. Successful criminals learn from the pros. Willy Sutton said he would never have been caught if his accomplices didn’t blab to dames.

”Richland County Coroner Gary Watts says they are running toxicity tests on James and are waiting for them to come back to learn James' cause of death. Watts said it will take a couple of weeks before the tests come back.

Do hurry with those tests, there’s a line of trial lawyers patiently waiting to sue the evil spray paint company!

Oh sure it is. I'm surprised you didn't think this through before posting. It's simple really.

Simply fill a large bowl or basin with any number of commercially available paint strippers and then submerge your face it it for the amount of time indicated on the label, usually 5-6 minutes. Then simply scrape the paint off with a sharp putty knife. Repeat application for any remaining paint.

I am sure that the individual in question had just such a plan.

This could start a trend: Criminal self execution, spray paint supplied.

Should have used duct tape. Works better.

Underpants are all the rage too.

Warning’s exist on the spray cans - at least on the products I’ve purchased.

The guy probably inhaled quite a bit while getting his faced sprayed. I’m wondering if he died from poisoning or asphyxiation.
