trashed bank robber

2013 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A bank robber tries to do a trashy get away when trying to get away from police by jumping into a garbage chute at a apartment and fell 21 floors into a trash compacter. He ended up living but had several injures.

Sorry, Mark, but crooks doing really stupid things to get away from police is very common today, and this just doesn't say Darwin to me. Thanks anyway, and submit again.

Definitely Keep: Honorable Mention
I have to disagree with Candi on this. True, we get a lot of stories involving idiots trying to run from the police, but jumping into a garbage chute on the 21st floor? He certainly should have expected a straight shot all the way to the basement, so he got exactly what he expected. Thanks, Mark!
