You think you�ve got issues...

Well, friends there are just some things that we shouldn’t do. Doing the right thing is always the right option, but the people in this week’s “Prism” failed to realize that in time.

Our first shining example is an Argentinian woman who decided to transport cocaine on an airplane.

According to the Assciated Press, the 26-year-old woman got a little creative and attempted to transport suitcases made of cocaine, not filled with it. But, because the “suitcases were heavier than their contents,” police were tipped off.

Don’t try to travel with drugs…which you shouldn’t be dealing with anyway, but I digress…

We know not to play with drugs, but what about playing with fire?

Eighteen-year-old Michigan teen Tyler Quick learned that lesson the hard way, after facing jailtime for lighting a man’s pants afire and injuring his groin.

Quick lit the man’s pants on fire at a party after the man collapsed. According to Associated Press, the court ruled that Quick’s intent was to cause bodily harm, not to murder.

You always learned not to pick fights, but maybe the stipulations of that statement were never explained. Citizens of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, exercised their protective muscles when they attacked a rape suspect  on June 2.

Citizens saw the suspect, who had been identified previously, walking down the street, and formed a mob to hold him until the police arrived. According to AP, the man was not immediately charged with the rape of an 11-year-old Philadelphia girl, but was eventually charged.
