Dumbest Criminal of 2012

It's admittedly a tough call, what with all the idiot criminals out there these days, but 19-year old Hannah Sabata of Nebraska wins the prize this year:

A woman accused of a Waco, Neb., bank robbery apparently made a YouTube video bragging about it before her arrest.

In the video, titled “Chick Bank Robber,” Sabata holds up handwritten signs, accompanied by subtitles, in which she says she's having the “best day of her life” because she stole a Pontiac Grand Am and walked away with more than $6,000 when she robbed a bank. She also holds up car keys, saying, “My new car is shiny. Of course I took the plates off already.”

Then she slowly unveils a sign that says, “Then I robbed a bank with a gun, a pillow case and a note,” and holds up a bundle of cash. At one point, she fans herself with the cash.

Sabata also claims that she is a “victim of the government” because the state took custody of her baby.

Social media: the societal equivalent of tar pits.
