Just like you should probably never get a tattoo where a judge can see it, it’s probably not the wisest thing in the world to show up in court on drug-trafficking charges wearing a sweatshirt that has a cartoon showing basic instructions for making crack cocaine.
“It’s just a joke, your honor. I was hoping it would ‘crack up’ the courtroom. Get it—’crack’ up? Your honor?”
Just like you should probably never get a tattoo where a judge can see it, it’s probably not the wisest thing in the world to show up in court on drug-trafficking charges wearing a jacket that has a cartoon showing basic instructions for making crack cocaine.
But that’s exactly what some dimwitted Florida criminal defendant did on Friday—he appeared in court in a wacky, zany, “hip” jacket in the “baggy” style favored by all the young kids these days:
The man’s white jacket looked like a how-to guide for making crack cocaine, with a series of little pictures of a white substance with a spoon, a carton of baking soda and a little pot over a fire. The end product was a “rock,” slang for the drug.
The man’s lawyer, who says he frequently has to explain to clients facing marijuana charges that it’s not the best idea to show up in court wearing giant pot-leaf T-shirts, says his new client’s shirt is “freedom of expression” rather than a simple cartoon recipe for making crack, although it’s actually both.
But in a larger sense, we agree. His client has freely expressed that he’s stupid. Throw the book at him—not for dealing crack, because who doesn’t love a good golf-ball-sized crack rock every now and again?—but for being stupid.
fuck this racist site
This isn’t racist, this is just exploiting some dumbass’s fashion sense.
Exactly. If his hand was in his pocket in the photo it would be impossible to tell what color skin that guy has from the whole article. So who is the racist, Downers?
His hand is red right? Definitely a racist website
Funny thing about baking soda. One time I snorted it, thinking it was coke. For a week after that, all I wanted to do was sit in the fridge and suck up odors.
What’s so racist about stupidity? If you don’t want to look like an idiot don’t do idiotic things.
Word to downer’s syndrome up there: are you trolling or are you the twit wearing the crack hoodie?
Florida never ceases to amaze, birthplace of Marilyn Manson, lots of blow, this stupid loser…
The irony is that the shirt also offers the instruction, “Say nothing.”
