This may not be a politically correct thought, but I believe it has some validity, so I will express it.
We are currently suffering through a tough economy. Cities and even states are suffering a monetary crunch. Taxes have reached the point of diminishing return. Raising taxes in this economy results in a decrease of revenue. If you can’t make ends by raising taxes then states and municipalities need to reduce expenses.
One way which I believe we could cut costs is in the area of the courts. It is a very expensive process judging and trying defendants for their criminal behavior. Prosecutors are expensive, defense lawyers are expensive, judges, courts, and juries are all very expensive.
Many defendants can be judged as guilty instantly by their “CRAZY EYES.” If a defendant has crazy eyes...Guilty. No trial, no expense. Next case.

Please…don’t get all uppity you know crazy eyes. Remember “The Runaway Bride?”
Jennifer Wilbanks, an American woman who ran away from home on April 26, 2005, in order to avoid her wedding with John Mason, her fiance, on April 30. Her disappearance from Duluth, Georgia, sparked a nationwide search and intensive media coverage, including some media speculation that Mason had killed her. On April 29, Wilbanks called Mason from Albuquerquem New Mexico, and falsely claimed that she had been kidnapped and sexually assaulted by a Hispanic male and a white woman.
One look at those Crazy Eyes and you just knew GUILTY.
GUILTY.
Here are some others, what do you think?
Sirhan Sirhan – Murdered Bobby Kennedy in 1968
Crazy Eyes=Guilty!
Jared Lee Loughner - charged with the shooting in Tucson, Arizona, on January 8, 2011, that killed six people, including Chief U.S. District Court Judge John Roll. Guilty?
You make the call.
Marshall Applewhite - Led 39 members of Heaven’s Gate cult to their death in 1997.
He was guilty…he had Crazy Eyes!
CRAZY EYES!
Osama Bin Laden
Eyes…Crazy…Guilty.
George Zimmerman is about to go to trial for second degree murder of Travon Martin. I don’t want to influence a jury, but this trial will cost millions of dollars.
George’s eyes? Crazy?
OK, I know the eye thing is not foolproof. There are exceptions. Comedian Marty Feldman would have been convicted without a trial of almost anything.
Oops! Guilty of being funny
I agree!
ReplyDeleteNote to self: never make eye contact with anyone. And saying "cheese" can get you 3 to 5 in the big house.
I have a problem with astigmatism; can I expect a private cell?
ReplyDeleteDoes it matter what color the eyes are? Are brown eyes guiltier than, say, green eyes? What about if you're cross-eyed? These are all legitimate questions not addressed in this post!
ReplyDeleteHere's onen
ReplyDeleteAstrid - I don't know how to discribe Crazy Eyes, but I know them when I see them.
ReplyDeletethat is exact;y why the jury gets to see the defendant...so they can judge his or her crazy eyes.
ReplyDeleteTested this theory with the NY Post, NY News and SI Advance.
ReplyDeleteYou are right.
I think the crazy eyes generally need to be in conjunction with a weird-ass smile. The two together seem infallible.
ReplyDeleteAll serial killers have had crazy eyes Bundy was just one of many. Creepy how accurate....
ReplyDeleteOh, Joe.....you are so brilliant I want you to run for President in 2016......till then, keep blogging.... and could we influence you to become a Vigilante until then?
ReplyDeleteFrom this point forward I will abandon my policy of making crazy faces on photographs...it could land me in jail....
ReplyDeleteYet another great post Cranky.
