I never thought that there could be such dumb people here in Maine. I thought it was only in Florida.

Paying a bail in cash by itself might create alerts at this point in our society, let alone counterfeit.

[frank ballenger]

Do they still have shows or online places for dumbest criminals?

Like the bank robber who robbed the bank but left his wallet with driver’s license on the teller’s counter?

[BipolarBob]

Why didn't I think of this? I could've paid for my speeding tickets with counterfeit money.

Once I had to bail somebody out of the Yavapai County Jail in Camp Verde, AZ. The clerk went over each bill with one of those detector pens, and I asked if anyone was ever dumb enough to try to use counterfeit money for bail. She said, “You’d be surprised how often.”

[Lopeover]

Good grief! The fiat dollar is already counterfeit, she had to make more? Lot’s of criminal minds in Maine!

Cops better not touch them. We just recently had a court decision against cops that arrested a drugged up, bad $20 user, who had escaped a police car while cuffed fighting with cops while he was throttled and the drugs killed him in his fight. Bad for business.

What did Soros set the bail at?

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

They need to watch Jackie Brown for how to bail someone out with cash.

I like the one about the guy robbing a liquor store, as he was about leave, he demanded a bottle of booze. The clerk asked for some ID. He showed the clerk his driver’s license. The cops were waiting for him when he got home.

Maine is a blue state isn't it? I live in New York unfortunately, and these guys are geniuses compared to the morons who live in New York. Put it this way: In New York this is the kind of crowds a commie like Sanders pulls in.....Communism, the most destructive political ideology mankind has ever known, 100 million dead and counting and THIS is the kind of crowds he gets in New York. There is NO population in the entire world more stupid than the morons in New York.

Oh my goodness. I used to run a company in the LA area. There was a majority of wonderful people. But, the ones who made dumb mistakes…made really dumb ones.

Drug problem is pretty bad in Maine in certain areas.

I never thought that there could be such dumb people here in Maine. I thought it was only in Florida.

Route 1 and I-95 can get people from Florida to Maine in 2-3 days, even if they are morons.

[Bob434]

Maine is mostly red in rural areas, but has gone blue In densely populated towns dadly. Too many Canadians and Boston people moved in there in certain towns, not to mention obama imported a ton of somalis to maine.

[JoSixChip]

I never thought that there could be such dumb people here in Maine. I thought it was only in Florida.

I think the ones you mentioned in Florida, came from maine.

[JoSixChip]

Route 1 and I-95 can get people from Florida to Maine in 2-3 days, even if they are morons.

And yet the geniuses in maine are the ones who elect democrats state wide. Typical, condescending northerners think they are something that they are not. Namely intelligent.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

All the Florida crazies are from out-of-state.

[BobL]

And at least 99% white, probably EVERYONE from middle class and up families. Sick.
