KARMA???????? Should have gotten a flu shot pryor jackass!!
I don't think it was karma. I think he was jailed because he assaulted and robbed people. And he got the flu becuase he is a dirty bastard that doesn't ever clean his hands. lol
If this were 2014, and Obamacare was fully in place, he wouldn't have had to go to the emergency room. Bwahahaha
Getting the flu shot doesn't guarantee that you won't get the flu....
Good cooperation between the military and civilian police. Keep up the good work.
it is already looking like an even more beautiful day than I had anticipated !
(unless of course you are some detestable criminal, who is locked up this morning, because "A" you deserve to be behind bars, and "B" YOUR SUCH A "TOUGH GUY"... that you got the flu,.. (poor thing) and you ran to the Hospital and Your wimpy butt got BUSTED !)
yes, its a beautiful day INDEED !
"Gee, I'm a wanted fugitive. If I go to the hospital, there's no WAY anyone can trace me there."
.......dumbass!!!
Health care in this country sucks - you go to the hospital, and just never come out!
Huh?
lol
I think they should have kept him confined in the hospital, and used him for medical experiments involving AIDS, SARS, Hep-C, Ebola, and Rabies.
you definitely want to be careful when crossing Ebola and Rabies.... sounds like a recipe for the zombie apocalypse
He probably wishes he had robbed a pharmacy now...
Are criminal background checks made when someone goes to the hospital now?
I believe so; Probably started from people getting into violent altercations where they may have been the aggressor, so if they sought medical attention the police would be able to find them.
An added DRAGNET.......kudos, and good job hospitals !!!
very much enjoyed the commentary...good job everyone! ...excluding of course the wanted criminal who went to the hospital and subsequently got himself arrested... you sir... are not included in my 'good job everyone'
Dumbass of the week! He even beat out Lohan for the stupid award.
Is he going to be that "Dumbest Criminals" show next week?
Will anti-gun freaks now say you shouldn't arrest people with colds?
If you're a Veteran of the armed services -- on active duty or retired -- and you decide to disobey the law, you will get caught at the VA if and when you commit a crime. There's a mistaken belief that the VA is an easy place to hide when you're on the run after you decide to commit a crime. Folks, the federal government (the VA is part of the federal government) shares information with all other sources of the federal government. You can't lie/misrepresent yourself at one location without being found out at another. Banks, IRS, Social Security, police departments, private hospitals, VA hospitals, etc. all share information routinely.
Manly men go to the Hospital for the FLU ??? Since when ???
Hey the veterans hospital did something right for a change
