The Decline of the American Criminal: Video of Liquor Store Break-In Shows a Comedy of Errors

Larry C. Bynum, 30, is hardly what one might call a master criminal. Bynum is filmed in a series of disasters as he tries to break into a Fort Worth liquor where he proves more a danger to himself than the public.

I only just saw this 2006 videotape and had to share it. Not only does Bynum almost kill himself in a series of falls, but he succeeds in locking himself in the store and has to wait on a beer keg to be arrested. Perhaps this video will convince Bynum that he is just not competitive in his line of work — though Vaudeville is not out of the question.

    Criminals do seem to be getting dumber, don’t they? Perhaps it’s just that with the internet the stupidest are celebrated widely and their crimes live in infamy for years. I almost feel sorry for some of the idiots who have to live down national news reports of their stupidity. Almost.
