Armed burglars demand man's eggbeater!

[nwilliams]

Umm....If criminals are willing to hold people at knife and gun point in order to steal an eggbeater we certainly are living in dangerous times

Police: Armed burglars demand man's eggbeater

TAMPA - It must be one special eggbeater.

That was the loot two men demanded after entering a home in Plant City, one brandishing a pistol and the other holding a knife to the resident's throat, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said.

The two men face charges of armed burglary of a dwelling after being caught outside the home on State Road 60 in Plant City about 4:25 a.m. Sunday, the sheriff's office said.

Deputies arrested Robert Eugene Thompson, of 2211 Holloman Road, Plant City, and Taurus Deshane Morris, of 5852 Odom Road, Lakeland.

Besides the burglary charge, Thompson faces a charge of aggravated assault.

The sheriff's office said the two men entered the home about 3:35 a.m. Thompson armed himself with a folding knife while Morris held a chrome pistol, arrest reports said.

Thompson held the knife against the victim's neck and demanded the metal eggbeater, which was found in his left back pocket when he was arrested, the sheriff's office said.

Thompson and Morris are being held in Orient Road Jail with no bail.

next thing you know, they'll be wanting our clothes...how do we explain that to the LEOs arriving on scene?

Well they can probably pull off an insanity plea. Or at least a stupidity plea.

IBTL in 5, 4, 3, ...

Funny as &@$$ though...

Well, as we all know.......breakfast really IS the most important meal of the day.....

Were they "whisked" away?
I guess a "beating" was avoided.
Police under gunned, issued spatulas.

Somehow I imagine the toxicology on these two geniuses is going to turn up some interesting things...

 

[armoredman]

Was it a Saddam special gold plated eggbeater?

 

[indoorsoccerfrea]

It was obviously one of those dangerous, highly capable assault eggbeaters. It can beat hundreds of eggs in seconds!

It can beat hundreds of eggs in seconds!

No one should be allowed to own an eggbeater that powerful. Why does a person need that kind of power when there's a Waffle House on every corner? What if children found that eggbeater when the parents weren't home? He should have had locked up in an eggbeater safe. He probably had eggs sitting out in the open all over his house too! The owner was probably one of those NEA (National Eggbeater Assoc.) kooks!

I suppose the criminals should be beaten and then whipped within an inch of their lives before being whisked away?
