I bet that gun made him feel like a brute man!

Next move on to the HQ, and get all the money back that those assclowns stole from me.

I knew they were thieves.

I am the IRS and I'm armed...

Why does the IRS need guns?

What next, librarian SWAT teams?

He looks a helluva lot like Richard Edson in that pic.

Who is Richard Edson? Why he's the creepy garage attendant in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

So is he *still* an IRS agent, or has he been farking fired, as he should be, instantly and without recourse or severance, to hereafter work in a job where the most complicated financial transactions he will be responsible for will involve the phrase: "Do you want fries with that?"
 
2005-10-25 10:31:52 AM
Well technically he was just doing some job training...

He still has rights until found guilty. Then it's on to flipping burgers.

He looks like he could be a real prick. His attorney, too.

And I love how he bought $10 in comics, but then went back to shop around more wherein he steals more books. Then you get this angle:

"Terry then questioned Lott on whether he ever actually saw Lott put the comics in the bag, whether Riddle adequately documents sales at his business for tax purposes, and whether Lott ever actually left the premises.

So it's not shoplifting if you nail the guy before he leaves the store?

What farking weasels.

everyone hates the irs, for no good reason other than they steal all our comic books.
 
2005-10-25 10:38:26 AM
I like how the attorney asked about the store owner paying taxes. Just because the accused was "on duty". Just to imply that he was staking out a comic book store??? That might trump the Chewbacca defense.

The IRS has sucky taste in comics.

Yes, another Federal employee whose highly sensitive and life-threatening work requires him to be heavily armed at all times.
So he can sit at a desk.
One of over 300 agencies that carry guns, BTW. They won't even tell us who they are.
 
2005-10-25 10:45:28 AM

In many or most locales, I believe that concealing merchandise is basically the same offense. It allows the shopkeeper to act before the crook leaves the store, which takes that advantage away from the criminal.
 
2005-10-25 10:45:45 AM
Doesn't this crime warrant execution when it's an IRS agent? No? Darn.
 
2005-10-25 10:47:16 AM
I hope he gets thrown in the can with a gang of militant Ayn Rand fanboys.
 
2005-10-25 10:50:24 AM
He needs better taste in comics. Vampi and Witchblade? Yeah. Avengers? WTF? Now, if he'd have gotten The Authority or JLA, it would have been okay.

Seriously, though... An IRS agent with a gun? Does this not scare the crap out of anyone with more than a functional brain stem? Scared the submitter, yeah, but I really REALLY don't want to deal with some guy in a pinstriped suit carrying a shotgun and sounding like Ahnuld going "You have been designated for auditing." Then Sarah Connor would have to save me. And I'd be the second in command of the resistance against the IRSNet.

Okay, I'll stop now because I have no idea where that's going. *takes his pills*

The IRS agent wasn't shoplifting. He just did a teeny-tiny levy.
 
2005-10-25 10:52:55 AM
Some IRS agents visited my parents house a long time ago to investigate a friend of the family. When my mother answered the door, she thought it was the secret service or something coming to get me for hacking. She hollered my name and to come down stairs. I ran downstairs screaming "WHAT!?". The agents in their classic FED trenchcoats and sun glasses were freaked out thinking I was going to kill them. They looked like they were about to wet their pants with me bearing down on them. SO I can imagine this guy dweeb probably looking the same.

I work for the IRS.

So I am really getting a kick out of most of these replies.

Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about.

But trust me.... You don't.

I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you dont know what you are talking about.

This is how bad info gets passed around.

If you dont know about the topic....Dont make yourself sound like you do.

Cuz some Farkers belive anything they hear.

put a little gold star on my file OK?

Ugh. Witchblade? People still read that crap?
 
2005-10-25 11:43:45 AM
The IRS guys with the guns are enforcement agents. They are the ones that do raids to bust evaders, who might occasionally be the criminal type that don't want to co-operate. I used to have a neighbor that was one. He had a seized 80's Monte Carlo as his service car. It was pretty tricked out, plus had the cop stuff in it... *drools*

/sorry
//better now
 
2005-10-25 11:49:34 AM
Holy funking shatner, what an asshat!

I'm inclined to think the guy is guilty simply because I can't imagine why the comic store owner would make this shist up.

I picture him as a nerd who has never had much power in his life, and now he's mister IRS man with a gun, and he's going to take whatever he wants. But he's a big nerd (me too!) so what he wants is comics.

It's so pathetic!

Wait 'til they bring in the expert witness.



"Worst testimony ever."
 
2005-10-25 11:59:40 AM
I understand the enforcement part of the job, but isn't that a task that can be handled by Federal Marshalls?
 
2005-10-25 12:01:46 PM
portscanner, stop talking out of your ass, I know for a fact this man has shiat for taste when it comes to comics.

I would venture to say that The New Avengers is getting better and better as of late.

But yeah, Witchblade and Vampy suck. Always have. And not in a "don't get it in my hair!" kinda way....
 
2005-10-25 12:14:02 PM
Note to shopkeeper: If you suspect someone is stealing from you for MONTHS, install one of them new-fangled image capturing devices... whats that thing called again?

Especially if he's an IRS agent.

That is all.
 
2005-10-25 12:23:09 PM
(returning to reality...)
The poor store keeper will probably have his anus audited by the IRS - without any oil.

tastee has it right. http://www.fairtax.org (pops)

IRS Agent caught stealing.

Is anyone else not surprised?
 
2005-10-25 12:42:00 PM
At some point I thought I read that it was illegal for IRS workers to be armed. Like I thought some guy got out of a tax bill because they showed up armed or something... prolly some crazy tax evasion conspiracy thing I read.

Speaking of which, all fair tax proponents should read up on what is contained in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report the goverment publishes every year. Maybe even get a copy and flip through it (I believe it's still free). It's a list of all assets, investments, and other income streams OTHER THAN TAXES. Yes, the government makes money in ways other than taxes. No they don't use this money to provide you services or pay their operating expenses. Yes, it is criminally stupid. Oh, and the amount of money they bring in from these other investments, interest on capital assets, etc... it's several hundred times greater than the amount of money collected in taxes each year. The government could stop all forced taxation and pay for everything just from the interest on their investments.

ew, he can HAVE my old Witchblades. Actually, he can have all of my old Image comics.
 
2005-10-25 12:49:46 PM
portscanner, you are not only an asshat, you're a cryptic one at that.

Farkers... IRS is part of the Treasury Department, yes. airballrad explains what portscanner wasn't able to... They work hand-in-hand with other law enforcement agencies and specialize in financial crimes... you know, things like cookin' the books, mob-style.
 
2005-10-25 12:50:09 PM
Portscanner, I, too, work for the federales, and armed Treasury personnel (outside of the Secret Service) are generally yahoos who couldn't even land a job in Fish and freakin' Wildlife, but wanted to carry a gun and intimidate people with the title "federal agent".

Why does the IRS have armed agents? Should I go around auditing people?
 
2005-10-25 01:09:44 PM
I can understand Vampirella and Witchblade, but the Avengers?

geta rope.

If you are referring to my employer (as outlined in my post at 11:30:56 AM), please take a moment to review "Fark Cliches"

Anyone confused about Portscanner's comment should crawl out from under their rock and read Wikipedia's list of Fark Cliches to see which one fits.

Chastain86- I don't think people ever actually read Witchblade, if you smell what the Rock is cooking.

Actually it is not. A person can always claim they were carrying the item and would pay prior to exit.

You know, if by some miracle the Fair Tax is enacted, I will take great pleasure in seeing all the former goons of the IRS begging in the streets because no one will hire them. Honestly, how many of my fellow Farkers here would hire an out-of-work IRS goon? Not me - I'd interview them just to see the pained looks on their faces when their applications are rejected because of their former occupations.

On that day, I will get in their filthy, unshaven faces and shout: "How does it feel to be hated and shunned by millions of your fellow countrymen? Guess you should have taken that OTHER job, huh? Dick!"

And then I throw dog poop in his begging cup just before I plany my boot in his ass.

Honestly, if that happens, they'll have to put those jerks in the Witness Protection Program to hide them from the angry, vengeful mobs of law-abiding citizens who have been driven to poverty by those arrogant swine.
