We're the Only Ones Dee-de-Deee Enough

During an I.Q. test commissioned by the defense, he scored 77 — a mark that ranks in the bottom sixth percentile. The average score is 100.

A report prepared by Sanford L. Drob, the psychologist who administered the I.Q. test, questioned whether Mr. Medina had the mental capacity to fully understand his work with the D.E.A.

I dunno. He sounds like a perfect match to me.

I have no idea if the allegations of a DEA-ordered robbery are true or false, but the mere fact that this guy is on the team speaks volumes. I'm quoting from memory, so it probably won't be exact, but this reminds me of the "Suport Your Locol Polece (PSA)" track on the old "National Lampoon Radio Dinner" album, where the actor playing ex-Philly mayor Frank Rizzo said:
So help take morons, psychopaths and mental defectives off the street and put them where they belong--on the force.

Ah, Carlos Mencia.

it's actually a sad story, and quite good evidence for the "system" working. Public education as a dumbing down system that is. For more evidence just rear that last sentence, sheesh!

The guy tries to help his dad out, even after he probably screwed his life up, gets chewed up by the fedgov and is going to do time. The thing that I take away is that NOW he's going to get that education he missed earlier in life, and when he gets out just what do you think he'll do?

Not to mention that the robbery sounds like an agency set-up to clean their hands of him.

He wanted to join the BATF, but was overqualified...
