Agents Arrest Man Who Fired at Rescue Helicopter

(Algiers, Louisiana) ATF agents arrested arguably the dumbest criminal currently alive on planet Earth.

From The Times-Picayune:

Wendell L. Bailey, 20, was arrested outside the building in which he had earlier taken aim with a .22-caliber handgun and fired at the helicopter that was flying in the darkness, federal prosecutors said.

A criminal complaint filed against Bailey Tuesday accuses him of the federal crime of trying to damage and destroy any aircraft and with being a felon in possession of a handgun. If convicted on both charges, Bailey could be sentenced to 30 years in prison.

While on patrol, ATF agents observed the gunfire coming from an apartment window and then saw two men talking about shooting the helicopter. One said, "They won't be back now."

Think again, Rambo. With the better part of over six billion pairs of eyes and ears focused on the aftermath of Katrina, you have the spotlight. Didn't they teach you in stupid thug school not to attract attention?
