Too much liquor is not a good thing
Okay, this one I want to follow just to see Rip explain what made this look like a good idea.
He looks drunk even when he’s not.
This is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
Nor is it an allowable affirmative defense. He should look for a plea deal, quick.
Ingrates!
It has already been stated, he was drunk as Cooty Brown and the bank had been remodeled recently to look like an old New England house. It looked similar to the Ripster’s home, once inside he had removed his shoes and was looking for his bed when the local gendarme entered the bank.
There was no intent, he was so hammered when he broke in he honestly thought it was his house. The video camera shows him getting pissed his key wouldn’t work so he broke the window to get in.
He will get probation and have to attend some substance abuse classes or go into rehab, but he won’t see jail time for this I bet.
I saw a TV show that did a side-by-side of his house and the bank. They do look pretty similar if you’re sober. If you’re drunk, they’re probably indistinguishable.
Good old Rip. “If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!”.............
He was out of his mind on The Gong Show.
My dad grew up in Detroit on a street where everyone’s house looked exactly the same up and down the whole block.
He told me the worst thing about living there was having a drunk for a neighbor, every so often in the middle of the night he would start beating on their door to be let in because his key wouldn’t work.
“Mugshot of a bad, rally bad, alcoholic”
Ah, come on, he isn’t too bad, his eyes are still open.
BTDT
‘scuze me while I spend time parsing the title...
I am positive this kind of thing happens daily in America. Miles after miles of apartments/condo’s and even those new “smart growth” skittle houses all look the same.

LOL
I've had to run off a neighbor or two by yelling through the door "get the f*** off my porch or I'll shoot your a**!!"
Which works, by the way.
