White guys can't dance, black guys can't swim - everybody knows that

A Louisiana millionaire has pleaded guilty to orchestrating a kidnapping plot against his ex-wife which unraveled when the men who he'd hired to take her drowned while trying to get away from police with her tied up in the back of their van. 

Lawrence Michael Handley, 53, a recovering alcoholic, sold his healthcare company for $21million in 2015, two years before he filed for divorce from his wife, Schanda. The pair both claimed that the other had tried to have them killed. 

In August 2017, two men - Sylvester Bracey and Arsenio Haynes - went to Schanda's home to kidnap her. They put a bag over her head, tied her up and threw her into the back of a van then set off.

  4. "Sylvester Bracey and Arsenio Haynes" ... that sounds like the "Guess the Race" game is in full swing again.
    I doubt they were Amish.
    The execution of their nefarious plan looks like a mix between Keystone Cops and Looney Tunes.

  6. I can tell you right now what made him crazy and it wasn't the drugs.

  7. He probably did it so he wouldn't have to share that $21M with her. Right there's the difference between millionaires and regular people. A regular person could have had all the same goodies and been just as happy with $10.5M as $21M, but no, the millionaire had to have it all. This is what I think about every time I see a story about some millionaire/billionaire who gets busted for tax evasion.

    1. More a case of narcissism combined with psychopathy/sociopathy. I am surprised he didnt get charged with the drownings also.

  8. They drowned. That's two less welfare checks every months. It's a start.

  9. When I attended the Naval Academy, everyone was required to pass various physical tests, including swimming. I presume they still have to, but perhaps that's no longer a valid presumption.

    During my first year, I think I was the only white guy on the swimming "sub squad," which provided extra instruction to those who couldn't pass the swimming test. Everyone else was black. Officially, "sub" was short for "substandard," but it could have been "submarine," based on our proclivities. There was one guy whose ability to keep his nose above water was so abysmal that he was nicknamed, "Aqua-rock." Eventually, we all got at least minimally competent. At least, I think everyone did.
