What an fool - Spoiler Alert


Am I supposed to feel sorry for Norson because he was a dope? Well, it didn't work one bit; he just goes from doing one stupid thing to another.

1. Norson breaks into an office to steal money he was seen 'admiring' in that very office not long before.

2. Everyone knows he's the mailman on the route so when he goes missing soon after the money, he should be the first suspected.

3. He leaves all the money with a bartender and so-called friend who simply puts in under a counter in a place known to have lots of random, disorderly people. Fights often break out in bars so anyone could get their hands on the package.

4. He says the package contains something that it clearly doesn't and can be easily determined by weight and feel.

5. When he picks up the package he doesn't seem to notice any changes, which should be obvious. He also doesn't bother to verify all the money is still there.

6. He returns to the scene of the crime, confesses to having taken the money, and gives the guy his actual name and address.

There are other examples but I think I've made my point.
