"Realizing their mistake, the two muggers bailed out of the undercover police car, jumped into the East River, and swam to an island near LaGuardia. 'I have a brother that lives there,' one of the perps later explained,'it seemed like a real secure apartment building to lay low for a while.'"

It really took two of these animals to take down a 70 year old woman? So sad, I maybe we should make some exceptions for waterboarding.

Which is why I suggested a Golden Sweatpants Award instead of a Darwin Award...

Note to muggers: if the Crown Vic you're flagging down has two white guys in the front seat, it's not a cab.

What kind of savage would attack and rob old women?

The cops should be promoted given their valor and quick thinking. Either that or time off for recovering from stress due to their harrowing experience.

A cops dream - making a collar without leaving the car! Did the perps bring donuts?

The lesson here is to always have an escape route and a means of escape. What a bunch of morons...

Anybody have a spare baton or walkie talkie antenna I can borrow?

Wow, there should be an award for these kinds of blatantly stupid AND unlucky events. Maybe the Plaxico Burres Golden Sweatpants Award or something?
