A couple of guys with epic names in
Witchita, Kansas dropped the level on how low a criminal can go, without
actually killing someone or harming a child.
The Wichita Eagle reports that Daquantrius Shaquill Johnson
and Quanaque Dontrell Thomas-Hameen are accused of coming across a woman having
a fatal brain aneurysm at a Taco bell on December 29, and robbing her of her
diamond ring.

| Ring stolen during robbery |
Having your final moments in a
Taco Bell drive-thru is bad enough. You
didn’t even get to taste the seven-layer burrito before you went to the great
burrito bar in the sky. Then two thugs come up and steal your ring.
Not only are Johnson and Thomas-Hameen
charged with taking Danielle Zimmerman’s diamond ring as she lay dying in her
truck, her family at home waiting on some Taco Bell, they are also charged with
taking her purse and Iphone. They
apparently didn’t call for an ambulance for the dying woman. They just stole her stuff and went on.
This apparently isn’t new stuff
for them. Both have lengthy criminal
records.
People in Wichita were
understandably outraged. As reported by
the Eagle:
The robbery of the critically ill woman
prompted widespread outrage. Danielle Zimmerman died the day after being taken
from the drive-through to a hospital in critical condition. She and her
husband, Kris, had been married 21 years. They have two sons, 18 and 13.
Kris Zimmerman said Monday that the two
arrests gave him some relief. “It helps maybe bring a little bit of closure,”
and it shows that Crime Stoppers works and that the community is helping to
solve the crime, he said. Police said a tip to Crime Stoppers led to the
arrests.
As for Danielle Zimmerman’s teenage
sons, “they can’t believe that somebody would do that … a crime like that to
somebody in her condition,” Kris Zimmerman said.
“It’s kind of a cruel wake-up call for
them.”
He said they have taught their sons to
help people in need, “not take advantage of them.”
This blog is outraged, too. This is awfully low to rob someone in
desperate need of medical help, instead of giving them that help. Prosecutors seem to be ready to throw the
book at the pair. Rightfully so.
