Dumb crooks of the day


Is there any other kind?

Two alleged gang members who taunted the Miami Dade Police Department in a video posted on YouTube have been arrested by U.S. agents and charged with federal firearms violations.

Rudy Villanueva and Tony Logan, alleged members of a Miami-Dade County street gang called the Bird Road Boys, were seen in the video brandishing a shotgun, assault rifle and handguns. Villanueva was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement late Tuesday evening, and Logan was arrested early Wednesday morning.

Villanueva, who goes by the names King Bird Road and Bird Road Rudy, is the alleged leader of the gang and is seen on the video saying, “Metro Dade Gang Unit, here I am baby.” Villanueva went on in the video to say “we’s out here fighting a Cold War” and that “they come at us if they want to.”

Logan appears in the video saying “come get it” while flashing gang signs and pulling the triggers of the two handguns he is holding.

The video, titled “Bird Road Getting in Trouble,” was posted Jan. 3 and has since been taken down by YouTube.

Don’t waste your time on the Video link at the ABC site. You have to work your way through commercials and other stories to get to this one.
