According to police, Charles Smith, 27, entered the Walmart at 1955 S. Stapley Dr. on Dec. 19 intending to film pranks for social media platforms.

Instead, police said Smith grabbed a can of Hot Shot Ultra Bed Bug and Flea Killer from a shelf without paying for it and then sprayed the pesticide on various vegetables, fruit and rotisserie chickens that were available for purchase.

Smith recorded his face, the pesticide can and the act of him spraying its contents. He later posted the recording online.

It's remarkable that it needs to be said but... Don't record yourself doing crimes and post it on YouTube.

So you want people not getting caught for illegal, and immoral actions?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

actually, do record yourself doing crimes.

Right? I'm all for it.

I want stupid people to remove themselves from society as quickly as possible.

Unless you do universally hated shit like this dickhole, then by all means, tell us exactly who you are and what you did.
