Slaughterhouse Robbery

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A still unknown man has been runover by a speeding truck last night. He was on the run from the police for a slaughterhouse robbery he commited with 2 other persons on that afternoon before. When they tried to rob the slaughterhouse useing knifes, 2 of the 3 persons were stabbed to death by the butchers working in the slaughterhouse. (Duh, slaughterhouse..knifes...butchers... any more reasons not to rob a slaughterhouse with knifes?)

The third person managed to escape the angry mob and fled in his car. Once on the highway, the police caught up with the speeding car and it's bleeding driver. Suddenly the man decided to stop the car by the side of the road and make a run for it. But instead of fleeing into the bushes, the man decided to cross the (populated with traffic) highway... Within seconds he was run over by a large truck. Striking him dead instantly.

There are three things to be considerd in this story.

1. Why the hell rob a slaughthouse? 2. Why the hell rob a slaughterhouse using knifes? 3. Why the hell not flee into the bushes instead of walking upon a overpopulated highway?

In our eyes this qualifies him for a darwin awards (maybe the other 2 person should be considerd also... >:) )

With kind regards,

Eye Wiersema & Wieger van der Meulen.

I'm torn between a DA and calling it another "dumb criminal" story, but it did make me grin, so I vote for a Darwin.

I like this one for the slaughterhouse angle, although the car accident/fleeing crook part is too common.


Buy a Book!
The third Darwin Awards book is packed with over 100 all-new tales of the triumph of nature over mankind. If you're considering sawing through the tree branch directly overhead... stringing a "shell" necklace of live ammunition... installing deadly boobytraps in your own home... you jut might be a Darwin winner! Illustrations by Zeebarf and McGookin.

"The Darwin Awards... constitute a delicious
sermon in support of common sense."
