Craig Lynch, the Facebook Tormentor

Craig Lynch, the Facebook Tormentor

Via the Stranger.

Have you seen Craig ‘Lazie’ Lynch in person recently?

No? I haven’t either and neither have the police who have been searching for him for three months ever since he escaped from jail in Britain. They have, however, have had the glorious experience of seeing  him all over Facebook taunting them with profile pictures like this and nice commentary about how much he is enjoying his new-found freedom.

If this story is correct, Craig Lynch has amassed roughly 12,000 Facebook fans which signifies kind of a cult following. He was convicted earlier of committing armed robbery and escaped while in the middle of serving his seven year sentence. I don’t know if he is still committing crimes, but that would definitely make this type of cat and mouse game even more exciting. I can already imagine the movie with Samuel L. Jackson as the cop most offended by the Facebook taunts. Of course, the crimes might have to be greater for the movie to  really succeed.
