Inmate Hides Gun In Fat Rolls

If you're anything like me, which isn't necessarily good or bad,  you probably stopped and took a quick breath after reading the title. It's ok, I'll give you time to digest the fact that a nearly 600 pound Houston MAN (because I'm sure the picture is deceiving), hid a 9mm gun and two clips in between his fat rolls. By now, you should be laughing or chuckling at the least.

It took at least five searches before Houston authorities uncovered the weapon.

Five searches?

Houston, we have a problem. Matter of fact, officers did not DISCOVER the weapon. George Vera confessed to the officers before a shower break. Why tell? Why not wash everywhere except where the gun is? I don't even know why he bothered to do the officers a favor. Can you imagine the backlash the Houston Police Department would've received had the gun been used while he was incarcerated? They actually owe him a BIG thank you for telling on himself. Maybe he forgot. It's like that piece of gum you stuck behind your ear in school. Remember that?

Vera was arrested for selling bootleg copies of CDs, which is extremely confusing to me. Bootleggers have to be strapped now? Did I miss something? Are they bangin on wax "literally"? Do I have to be worried about the CD/DVD man in the Church's Chicken drive-thru line?

Laa, maybe he carried the weapon in case somebody tried to rob him.

Okay, I'll give you that. But if the gun is hidden in between his fat, can he even pull it out in time? I highly doubt Mr. Vera is that quick. Let's play out the scenario.

Robber walks up with a gun and instructs Vera to hand over his money. 

At this point he has two choices, he could either hand over his money or attempt to reach for his 9 milli (I am going to assume this gun is loaded. Two clips were hidden separate from the gun. We don't need to add ANY extra time to the scene). If he tries to go for the nine, he must not only lift up his shirt, but he must also lift whatever fat roll the gun is hidden underneath.

By that time, the robber would have either shot Vera or snatched the cash and ran. So really, why is he carrying a gun? You know, I don't even care to figure out his logic.

Bottomline, George Vera just proved the point of everyone who argues how deadly obesity can be. Being fat is bad because now you can hide automatic weapons in between the flub. Soon as the argument begins, all they have to say is George Vera. What can anyone say to that?
