Here’s another great example of our ridiculous Florida criminals:
In lovely St. Petersburg, two men apparently broke into a dead man’s condo and stole all kinds of things – while he lay there rotting.
That’s right. They stepped right over the corpse and went on their merry thieving way, carrying out various items like a couple of televisions, laptops, tools and a semi-automatic rifle. Guess the smell or the sight didn’t bother them any.
This poor man had taken his own life with a gunshot to the chest several days before the break-in, and must have been quite ripe when Erik Michael Silvers, 39, and Charles Andrew Coloso, 25, both of Largo, entered to burglarize his home.
Obviously, not as ripe as his belongings were for the taking. These two are one hair above grave robbers, and should be convicted on their mug shots alone. Gruesome. (Go to pcsoweb.org and look them up if you don’t believe me.) They’re still in the Pinellas County clink, since neither of them could make bail. Thank God.
So here’s my question: What the hell motivates two people to break in to a dead man’s home and unload his worldly possessions over his decomposing corpse? Have we lost all shame? What happened to having respect for the dead, if not the living? What in fact have we become?
Maybe we’ve reached the point where we don’t have basic decency anymore; where we can’t even remember when we had it at all.
Florida Ludicrous. There you go.
