I don't think so.....



A man was arrested Friday for allegedly kidnapping a former co-worker.

After being fired from his job at IHOP Wednesday, Moustapha Bayo, 36, reportedly showed up Thursday at Southern Restaurant Management on Lockeway Drive near Alpharetta in an attempt to get his job back, according to WSB-TV.

Armed with a machete and a paper sack with a handgun, he threatened to kill one of the managers, a 61-year-old man, Forsyth County Sheriff Ted Paxton said.

Bayo forced the manager to the ground and demanded $250,000 in cash

He then ordered the man into his own car and had the man drive a short distance north on Highway 9. Bayo tossed the paper sack out of the car window, according to the victim, and instructed the victim to return to Lockeway Drive.

When they arrived back at the business, the victim convinced Bayo that he would be able to get his job back, which led to Bayo returning Friday just before noon, Sheriff Paxton told WSB-TV.

Investigators were waiting for him when he arrived and arrested him.

He faces charges of armed robbery, kidnapping and aggravated assault, Paxton said. He will have a first court appearance early next week.

Wait a minute.... this rocket surgeon actually thought he'd get his job back? Then... he shows up at work again to work a shift, and then gets arrested? This happened? Damnit! I wish they wouldn't lock away the stupid ass people... how can we continue to get amazingly amusing stories if the dumbasses are rotting in prison?

Let's look at it objectively.
1. Bayo thought an IHOP manager had $250,000 in cash handy.
2. Bayo kidnapped his manager in broad daylight using a machete.
3. Bayo had a handgun but chose to throw it away mid-crime.
4. Bayo returned the next day because he believed he had successfully negotiated getting his job back at machete point.

This guy is a complete idiot. This reminds me of that failed bank robbery where the clerk told the robber he needed to fill out a withdrawl slip in order to rob the bank. He complied and was arrested while he was waiting in line. I used to think that guy was the dumbest criminal I had ever heard about. Now I'm thinking he might be the second dumbest.

Its not so surprising as there seems to be a fair amount of idiots out there, just look at the frequency of these types of stories lately.

What I find funny is he is willing to trade $250,000 for a job busing tables. (or what ever he did there).

Dude, go for the $250K and you won't have to work the rest of the year!

He looks East African and we know they don't lie nor do they expect that others will. He really thought he was getting his job back. Put him on a boat!

Well, this is probably why he was working at IHOP to begin with.

Considering he appears to have hepatitis, I'd rather he not work at IHOP...

You guys forget about the guy in Connecticut that called a bank ahead of time and told them to get the money ready? As expected, arrested when they showed up.

Here you go, along the same theme of dumb....
