ICE BUCKET CHALLENGED

     Though, I've shared my thoughts publicly about the popular Ice Bucket Challenge, it turns out; the challenge actually turned out to be effective. I don't mean in raising awareness and all of that money because that was obvious. I meant in drawing out convicted felons. I mean everyone, besides me, and their mother was posting videos on Facebook and following like sheep. It was only a matter of time that a wanted felon was to follow suit because for the most part, felons have no brains. That's why they're felons. 

     Anyway, a convicted felon who was being sought out for violating parole was arrested after he posted an "Ice Bucket Challenge" video to Facebook, where it was spotted by a tipster who alerted Nebraska police to the ex-con's whereabouts. Again, he was probably one of those people who did the challenge without really knowing what he did it for. He probably did it to be funny like everyone else on Facebook. I highly doubt that he also donated to the cause. 

     Jesean Morris was apprehended Friday night by gang unit officers following up on a tip provided by a source who was aware that the 20-year-old Omaha resident was a wanted man. Morris was sentenced to six years in a state prison for two felony convictions for assault and use of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Morris, who was 16 at the time, was arrested back in April 2010, and charged as an adult for his role in a shootout that left two men wounded. He was released from custody in late March on "discretionary parole."

     After watching Morris's "Ice Bucket Challenge" clip, the tipster contacted Omaha cops with an address where the video appeared to have just been recorded by Morris. During police surveillance of the property, investigators spotted Morris being driven away from the home, which was later stopped by police and Morris was arrested. Many of Morris's Facebook friends were said to be displeased with the Facebook snitch, but hey, if you're going to put your stuff on a public forum, you have to be ready to suffer the consequences. I still say that Morris had no idea why he was doing this ice bucket challenge and that's unfortunate because he just wanted to be like everyone else. Well, in this case, being sheep got you busted, my friend!
