I’ve just got to share this one with you all this morning.

People who don’t read Frank Girardot’s Crime Scene blog are truly missing out on some greatness.  The guy’s a fucking genius and a really nice guy.  Not only does Frank cover all of the top crime tidbits in the entire San Gabriel Valley, he does it with style and, once in a while, hilarity.  Case in point:  The WWF Shotgun Bandits.

 

That’s what the FBI is calling these criminals seen above.  Someone forgot to inform the FBI that the World Wrestling Federation is now known as WWE, or World Wrestling Entertainment, and has been for years now.  Then again, this isn’t the first time someone in government isn’t down with the times. 

These jobbers are going around such “beautiful” places like Rowland Heights and City of Industry, robbing places dressed like they’re trying to get cheap heat, and getting law enforcement and the blogosphere to pop huge.  Ok, maybe I’m acting like a mark, just a little. 

And, yes, by FBI I meant Federal Bureau of Investigation, not the Full Blooded Italians of ECW fame.  Frank’s article also led me to wonder if there were any other interesting bandit names out there.

From the home office in Washington, D.C….

I’ve decided to be fair to Steve Madison & Jacque Robinson and list my own personal campaign contributions from last year, just like the Foothill Cities peeps have been doing (an excellent job, guys).

Speaking of campaign donations, Joe Piasecki gets hilarious with Pasadena’s richest man & #1 Steve Madison fan, Charlie Munger, in this week’s PW.

See you all tomorrow morning at Special City Council Saturday Extravaganza.

Have a safe weekend & don’t rob liquor stores dressed like Umaga or say “shit” in South Pasadena.
