    Let’s assume this would’ve worked and he was broken out of prison. What next? Where the fuck would they go?

    That pizza cutter feels almost racist in this context 😆 If Luigi was named Paddy Murphy, would he have brought a potato masher instead?

    Anderson said he had weapons in his bag, and inside the bag was a barbecue fork and a pizza cutter, according to the criminal complaint.

    I need to know what the pizza cutter was for

        I’m sure by “pizza cutter” they mean a mezzaluna, so yes

          I’ve never thought of using those for cutting pie, but I can see that it ought to work fairly well.

        the horrors must be mostly imaginary because my pizza cutter can barely cut pizza, what is the bluntness the point.

        I was kind of imagining him trying to cut the link between handcuffs with it. Definitely the right tool for the job!

    When Bureau of Prisons personnel asked to see Anderson’s credentials, federal prosecutors said he showed them a Minnesota driver’s license and “threw at the BOP officers numerous documents.”

    What does that even mean?

      Sounds like he tried to flood then with so much paperwork that theyd just believe him. I dont think they mean literally threw papers but im just going of vibes here.

        I’m imagining fine print from credit card offers, etc. I mean, I guess it could work, on any given day, with the right (or wrong, depending on perspective) desk Sarge, but with a high profile prisoner? Come on…

        Alternately, I suppose they could have been a bit more creative and printed off some official forms and attempted to fill them out, but still…

        Fortune does not always favor the bold, apparently.

          I feel would imagine that prison is not letting anybody out without an in-person visit from somebody very high up.

            What even is racketeering? Sounds like something they made up when they can’t charge you with anything real.
