Some craziest things people use as weapons! DRM Technology Limited, 095503015, New Lynn, Auckland 060.


 Finger Gun

Finger Gun

I don't know who is dumber, Roger Crawford of Manatee, Florida, who held up a 7-11 using just his thumb and index finger, or the employee that let him do it. Pointing the fleshy weapon at the clerk and others in the store and saying, “I know you!”, Crawford grabbed a cheesburger, a Four Loco drink, a Red Bull, and condoms and split without paying. He was chased on foot and eventually found hiding behind a shed. He was charged with strong-armed robbery (but it should have been strong-fingered.)


 Palm Tree Frond and Flip Flops

Palm Tree Frond and Flip Flops

George Olivieri allegedly burst into a convenience store in Deland, Florida brandishing these unusual weapons at the cashier. Repeatedly shouting, “Give me 50 dollar, give me 50 dollar,” the man used the palm frond to both obscure his face, and its razor-sharp thorns to instill fear (the flip-flops were his auxiliary weapon.) The robbery was thwarted with a bar stool. “Yeah, that's George,” said the clerk, who knew him. Only in Florida.


 Wasabi Paste

Wasabi Paste

John McGuinness apparently wanted to spice things up with his girlfriend. After discovering her texting with a former lover, he allegedly grabbed a pair of her $200 jeans, doused them in the spicy green Japanese condiment and whipped her in the face. He then doused the inside of her Camry with it too, just for good measure. Wasabi? That's wasabi.

 Cow Bone

Cow Bone

Gregory Haas had a bone to pick… literally. On Christmas Eve 2011, Mr. Haas got into a bar fight with four men, brandishing a cow's thigh bone,  and allegedly attacking them with it in the parking log. Apparently, he found the bovine bone in a nearby pasture. This makes sense, sort of, as the bar was located in Honolulu, Hawaii.


 Bowling Ball

Bowling Ball

Shinobu Hirata, a woman living in Ichikawa, Japan, attempted to kill her husband by hitting him with a 15 lb. bowling ball while he was sleeping; she was distressed by the large amount of debt that they had accumulated and was planning to kill herself afterwards. But the “weapon” proved too difficult to wield and the husband sustained only minor injuries. She tried for a strike but ended up with a spare. 


 Toilet Plunger

Toilet Plunger

Lawrence Deptola took the plunge. On Thursday, April 12, 2012, he decided to rob not one, not two, but THREE separate banks… with a toilet plunger. Shouting obscenities and waving the rubbery device, he unsuccessfully demanded money from the stunned tellers. Police managed to catch up with him at his third stop, Key Bank, and chased him on foot. He was quickly apprehended and charged with third degree robbery and first degree stupidity.


 Stripper Pole

Stripper Pole

Sarah Howell of Killeen, Texas had a different sort of pole dance in mind when she allegedly went after her boyfriend with a steel pink stripper pole, after dousing him in cooking oil. When the police arrived, they found the man “covered in sweat” and scratches all over his face and body. Apparently, she didn't leave a big enough tip.


 Golf Cart

Golf Cart

Linda Lee Pearce had the dangerous combination of anger issues and alcohol abuse. Spotting Verna Boylan near the horseshoe pits at the Roadside bar near Daytona Beach, Florida, on St. Patrick's Day 2009, Pearce muttered, “There's the (expletive)… I'm going to run her over.” Fortunately, she wasn't behind the wheel of an automobile, but rather a golf cart. She hit Boylan and dragged her 15 feet before onlookers intervened. According to Pearce, Boylan had spray-painted Pearce's friend's car. Pearce was sentenced to 3 years probation.

The man who was so upset about his wife status changing, that had a bike incident and got into coma

_5-coma-bike
Lauren Booth thought nothing of changing her Facebook profile from married to divorced. But her husband found out and shortly afterwards came off his motorbike. They had had an argument. Not a rarity in a 20-year relationship, but it was serious nonetheless. Angry and hurt, Lauren fled to cyberspace for calm and comfort. She then changed her status from married to single. After doing that an 'alert' was sent out to the internet-savvy friends, family, neighbours and strangers who track such Facebook activities. The alert announced: ‘Lauren Booth has gone from married to single.' 48 hours later, when Craig went into a bar, someone came over and nudged him (the real-life version of a 'poke'). They nudged him and ruined his day by sneering: ‘So, single again mate, eh, eh? Fancy going to a club then?' He went home and asked his wife if it was true that she'd divorced him online without the decency of telling him first. The day after he told her he was hurt about what she'd done on Facebook, he came off his motorbike, sustaining a serious head injury that almost ended his life. He went into coma for 2 weeks.

The £5million soccer player who got dumped by his wife on Facebook

Footballer Michael Chopra split with his wife of seven months after she dumped him on Facebook. 


One imageHeather Swan, 24, let her husband know their marriage was over by changing her status to single on the social networking site. The former couple are now locked in a bitter war of words and the Sunderland striker, who earns £30,000-a-week, has updated his own page with the words: ‘Heather will have a new number tomorrow, ha ha,' after cancelling her mobile phone contract. Their wedding at Orchardleigh House, a luxury hotel in Somerset cost £250,000. I guess money and fame doesn't free you from being dumped on the Internet.

The Married man who drove 400 miles to meet a Facebook woman... only to discover it was a hoax set up by rival football fans

_8-hoax

A married Manchester United supporter drove 400 miles for what he thought was going to be an affair with a woman he had chatted to on the internet - only to discover it was a hoax set up by two Liverpool fans he had met on holidays. Stuart Slann, 39, from Sheffield, made the trip to a remote farm in Scotland to meet a woman he had been flirting with online for weeks. But when he arrived at the house 'Emma' was nowhere to be seen. Three hours later the pranksters called him and confessed it was all a trick. They taped the conversation and put it onto video-sharing website YouTube and Facebook accompanied by an embarrassing photo. 

Mr Slann's wife, Louise, 32, then discovered that he had intended to have an affair and ended their marriage. He had met the two unnamed Liverpudlians during a holiday in Cancun, Mexico. The three spent the time arguing about their teams who are bitter North-West rivals. 

On one occasion, Mr Slann was thrown into a pool. When the Liverpool fans returned to the UK they came up with the plan to humiliate him by setting up a false Facebook account pretending to be a Scottish woman called Emma. He'd been chatting to this girl on Facebook for about a month or so. On the night she asked him to go to Scotland he was on the road for about nine hours. And then when he got to this remote farm she sent him a text to say she was still in work. Not only had he driven for nine hours, but he had to wait for about another three and a half hours for her to finish work.
