Setting A New Standard For Stupid

This story was just too good to pass up. This guy seems to be trying to elevate stupidity to an art form. We know the 18-year-old is pretty stupid to begin with because he's a gang-banger. But this Fort Worth teen is not content to leave it at that.

He's got to show how macho he is by standing in his front yard at 10:00pm and flashing gang signs at the passing cars. He doesn't know who is in these cars -- it could be rival gang members who are armed. But as luck would have it, one of the cars he flashes the gang signs at contains undercover Fort Worth gang officers.

They call for uniformed officers to come and arrest the youth for disruptive behavior. But the teen's stupidity doesn't stop there. When the uniformed officers pat him down, they find a bottle of Xanax. The 18-year-old does not have a prescription for the pills and cannot explain why he has them.

Even then, the young man is not ready to stop being stupid. When the officers ask him for ID, he tells them it's in his bedroom and invites them inside to retrieve it. When they go inside, the officers find a small bag of what appeared to be cocaine. They then get a search warrant.

Upon searching the house, the police find 3.6 kilos of cocaine, a pound of marijuana, an Uzi, an AR-15 rifle, a 44 magnum pistol, a 12 guage shotgun, several other pistols and $65,000 in cash. Now the young man is looking at many years in prison. He also probably has his fellow gang members very angry with him. After all, he just lost thousands of dollars in gang cash and drugs, along with their armory.

I believe this teen has to be a great candidate for stupidest person of the year!
