The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office called him stupid Tuesday. But Frank Singleton could almost write the book on how to turn a misdemeanor into a felony without ever leaving the jail's parking lot. "This is one of the stupid criminals," Sheriff's Office spokesman Paul Miller said. Singleton, 21, of West Palm Beach, got released from the county lockup Tuesday after being arrested on a misdemeanor trespassing charge. He immediately ran out into the visitor's parking lot and, in an apparent effort to get away as quickly as possible, tried to carjack a 2006 Nissan 350Z, Miller said. The woman who was driving it, Justine Lapierre, was just getting out of her car when Singleton ran at her saying, "I want your car," Miller said. He pushed Lapierre out of the way, grabbed the keys and jumped into the Nissan. But it was a manual transmission and Singleton couldn't operate it, Miller said. Hearing the commotion, Sheriff's Office Pastor Leo Krug walked up and, holding his handgun by his side, ordered the barely free Singleton to the ground so a deputy could handcuff him. Singleton was booked on a carjacking charge. "I don't think he wanted to go back to jail," Miller said. "I think he really wanted to get away and was looking for a car." When the detective was making the arrest, he asked Singleton why he did this. "I didn't feel like walking," Singleton said.

Of course you may be right...those assumptions of mine just may be taking things a bridge too far.
You can’t cure stupid.
No one is that dumb. He wanted to go back to jail. Maybe someone is looking for him out on the street.
Pure genius there, pure genius.........
They used to hang horse thieves. A car is the modern-day horse.
No one is that dumb?....You’ve not met any of my daughter’s boyfriends.....
Stupid people world-wide are filling suit against the Sheriff for this mean spirited insult!
Amos & Andy to hold a news conference at 11.
**snort**
My younger brother had this attitude. If you had something and he wanted it he saw no reason not to take it. His feelings, particularly about stores and shops were that you "have more than one, so what's the problem?". He was a very tough kid and would put a beating on someone for giving him the wrong look.
After all the government has been giving welfare parasites other people's money for so many years they have come to think it really does belong to them.
For him and his cronies, it wasn't the gub'mint cheese, I can't tell you exactly what it was but I can tell you some of what fixed it. Work and Responsibility. I hired him as my assistant manager (a job I held in college) and from there the changes began. He eventually became a responsible married adult that owned his business and spends a considerable amount of time and money helping others.
I guess it is related to the "parasite syndrome", if you don't work for it and take on no responsibilities, you don't respect others that do...
He's lucky to have survived.
This individual is denser than a great big box of little-bitty rocks/depleted uranium.
When I lived in Tucson the Dairy Queen next to my restaurant was robbed. The thief wrote the note demanding money on a speeding ticket, and left the ticket.
This cat is not alone.
Want a really scary morning read?

Should give you a **lot to think about** if you live in a ‘big’ city.....
which I will reluctantly send their way if pressed.
The part of holding a knife to the child's throat to extort goods was another flag.
The many references to the ‘you owe me’ attitude was the clincher.
From 25 ft I can pick which eye to put the .357 through. This is one of my few skills - one that other people can acquire with just a little practice.
