The feds have joined the search, they'll find them by Monday or some poo poo. Probably at a four star hotel instead of a lovely Econolodge where people mind their own business.

ive played a game of beer pong where a splash of whiskey was added to each cup of beer

later that night we rode boogie boards down the stairs and dragged a spare mattress between the stairs and the pool and used it like a trampoline

I'll be honest, that sounds like the greatest party in the history of existence.

I wonder if when the OP posted this thread a mere 17 days ago that he could have ever guessed that this kid would be on the law with a bounty for his capture.

Anyway I am not taking gibbis bets on where he and his mom will be found hiding. I have dibs on Cancun, Mexico. Post your guesses here.

Winner will receive "Something Awful Karma Points".

No way they go to Mexico. They'd never be able to stay anywhere but a four star hotel which pretty much guarantees they'd get caught. They'd not gonna blend in in some dirt poor town.

Wouldn't the FBI know if they went on a flight?

Also they are offering a reward to anyone who turns them in. :rip:

Yeah their passports have already been flagged and even if they have cash on them eventually they'll need more and good luck with that

This is a job for Dog the bounty hunter. He will bring him back no matter where he hide

Dog has a genius business plan. He posts bail for people he knows will run, but they're too poor to get out of Hawaii so he just goes to the same four or five places to track them down.

What would you guys pay to punchasize this kid in the face? I'd say mid five figures.

Also they'll absolutely get caught. Whenever they run out of whatever cash they managed to grab they're done for.

It's made so much better by the fact that he seriously got away with the poo poo and then the idiot goes ON THE LAM because someone videotaped him drinking and tweeted it to the FBI. So not only is he literally being sought by the feds his mom is now involved too. It's loving amazing. I thought I'd never hear about this idiot again after he walked away scot free.

Where have I heard that before.........

Good news, they found Ethan Couch, he was apparently just vacationing in Puerto Vallarta.

Lmao I loving knew they'd try to hide out in a resort. But yeah I'm sure it's just a huge coincidence that he fled the country right after an incriminating video surfaced.


He's even dumber than I thought because he would've had a way easier time explaining away the video. But not checking in with his probie officer and leaving the country are automatic violations.

That little poo poo has a supremely punchable face.

Also of course they went to a resort town. They're rich idiots in Mexico, if they tried to hide out in the slums they'd be murdered in a heartbeat or kidnapped for ransom.

A lot of probation departments work with the marshals. My department has officers that are deputized as marshall and handle bench warrants. Usually we don't actually put out wanted posters but the case is so high profile that it was deemed appropriate

Isn't it because the marshals have jurisdiction pretty much everywhere? Gotta be easier than trying to contact a bunch of local PDs.

Also if a bunch of US Marshals are looking for you, you done hosed up.

Oh yeah if you're on probation or parole you're almost always subject to search of your person/property by any law enforcement without any kind of probable cause. There's a million ways to violate someone (hanging out with other felons is always a good one). You definitely lose any benefit of the doubt.

What line of work are you in? Law enforcement?

I work as a parole officer and previously worked 6 years in juvenile probaton. And oddly enough in my state that isn't exactly true. Cops can't call is with info in order to circumvent needing a warrant but if a random person calls and refuses to leave their name we can search...

Ah figures it would vary by state. I'm guessing people on parole/probation don't make too much noise though because they know it's relatively simple to send them back to the clink if they really act like a hardon. Is being in a place that serves alcohol enough to violate in your state?

You think this chump won't gently caress up and violate his probation? He's done it once already and compounded his poo poo stupid decision by fleeing the country with his mommy.
He's a spoiled mama's boy; he'll gently caress up somehow and wind up in prison.

Yeah he'll obviously commit some other felony like, they day after he's eligible to be tried as an adult.

If he had just not ran he would face 0 days in prison and it'd be fair and normal. Instead they took the stupidest loving course of action possible that their lawyer advised against.

It's even better because they literally have no defense. They are going to loving bury the mom and just bide their time until Junior screws up again.

I do not even understand how the law is supposed to deal with this poo poo. The judge should just walk off the bench and slap him so hard he falls on his rear end, and after standing there for a few minutes he should just do it again. Like, what do you do when someone runs from... nothing... it is blowing my mind. This is like some made up "Dumb and Dumber" or "The Stupids" style series of events but it's actually happening.

Also, what was the end game supposed to be? Just hide out illegally in Mexico forever?

Oh and their lawyers aren't licensed in Mexico so they have to find some local shysters to handle the kid's case lmao

then you're supposed to keep going dumbasses not just park in Puerto Vallarta lmao

These two are just a couple of rich morons. They have no idea how to actually survive off the grid. That dipshit kid probably thought dying his rape beard a darker color was a stroke of genius. The main problem with fleeing like that is money. Even if they brought a shitload of cash, they're eventually going to need more. And good luck trying to get any without the Marshals or the FBI tracing that poo poo.

Is there something prohibiting an American lawyer from getting a Mexican license? I imagine that'd be pretty popular for lawyers in states along the border.

I mean, it's an entirely different country. I'd imagine it's a bit tougher than just sitting for the bar exam in a new state.
