Death of Common Sense

The fate of Common Sense is in your hands…

Common Sense died as we entered the Naughties; six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment
for kissing a classmate, teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch, teacher fired for
reprimanding an unruly student, schools required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a
student, honor student expelled for having a table knife in her school lunch, a government plan to ban
inhalers from 14 million asthmatics due to a trace of a pollutant that may be harmful to the environment.
 
Common Sense gets resurrected here and now.

Burglar asks homeowner for lift to station

They Say:

“A DRUG-addled burglar threatened the owner of a house with a samurai sword before asking for a lift to the nearest train station, a court has been told. The Brisbane District Court was told that Thanh Liem Trinh, 33, broke into a house in Wynnum, in Brisbane’s east, on December 5 last year.

Owner Peter Hammond returned home in the early afternoon to find Trinh ransacking his home. The court was told he confronted Trinh, who told Mr Hammond that he was searching for jewellery. Trinh then picked up a samurai sword that was in the bedroom and threatened Mr Hammond, telling him he would use it to cut him. Mr Hammond told Trinh to leave, however Trinh followed the homeowner out of the bedroom and asked if he could be driven to the nearest train station.

When they arrived at Wynnum Station Trinh took his sword and boarded a train, while Mr Hammond drove directly to the nearest police station to report the burglary. Trinh was captured on security videos at the station and was later apprehended at a house in Annerley, in Brisbane’s south. Police officers found him to be in possession of a stolen bottle of cologne.”

We Say:
Oh fuck me… Next we will have people robbing banks and taking the bus… Oh… Hang on, that’s already happened… Oh… Thank God this guy was off his head when he committed this crime, I would have worries otherwise…

What goes through the mind of someone like this… Right… Need money, jewelery… yea jewelery… Oh fuck… Who are you? Err, I need money… Right… Might head off now… Oh… Couldn’t give me a lift to the station could you?? What a fucktard… Lookup the definition of moron, you would see this guys photo holding his fucking samurai sword…

Weapon of choice, samurai sword, giving credit where credit is due, a samurai sword is a fucking cool weapon… Just a little hard to hide it for the getaway, which is perhaps why he wanted a ride… Low key exit… I guess he forgot his bus pass??

  1. The thing that stood out to me was that Mr Hammond DROVE to the police station after dropping his passenger off at the train station!? How long have we had phones for?? Mobile phones?

  2. Heh, good point… Perhaps that’s why the crook only got away with a bottle of cologne, low tech house?
