Id have left him in there. Its a shame that we save the people that would kill us in an instant. I hope he gets corn cobbed in jail.

Turn the burners on!
That was my thought. Pretend I didn't see any legs hanging over the grill and start getting ready for breakfast.

Firefighters poured dish soap around the victim to pull him out of the vent. Victim? Excuse me, did they say VICTIM?

Interesting how, when a perp gets ensnared in his own crime, his status changes. As far as him being able to sue for damages, there must have been a fairly stout cover over the vent, to protect against storms, and vermin; which I'll observe, more aptly describes the gentlemen found in the vent, next morning. :rolleyes:

Idiot tries to sell crack to a uniformed officer in a marked patrol car. This is truly proof that drugs make you stupid.
