| Idiot runner-up ORLANDO, Fla. - Sheriff's deputies tracked down a suspect in an armed robbery with a receipt he left at the scene of the crime, authorities said. A man wearing a mask robbed an Orlando Hess station Monday, stealing $75 and two cartons of cigarettes, the sheriff's office reported. When deputies arrived at the gas station, someone noticed that the robber had left a gun case against a display rack. Inside the case, deputies found a receipt for a new AK-47 assault rifle. "Obviously, he wasn't a member of the MENSA society," sheriff's spokeswoman Susan Soto told the Orlando Sentinel. The receipt was made out to Eric Cunningham, who lived only a few miles from the gas station, according to an arrest report. Deputies found Cunningham, 18, at his apartment with a loaded assault rifle and a shotgun, the report said. Cunningham was arrested and charged with armed robbery with a firearm while wearing a mask. He remained in jail with no bond. |

| #3 You can buy assault rifles? I though only semi-autos were legal. Or maybe, just possibly, the writer means "scary-looking," in which case My .22 plinker is an "assault weapon" to him. |

| #2 While wearing a mask? If that's a crime, why are hijabs legal? |
