The best thing to do after you break out of jail is to set up a Facebook profile to taunt the police. That’s exactly what “Craig ‘Lazie’ Lynch” has become infamous for over the past three months. Craig broke out of jail in early September and has been taunting cops since then. Now Craig is even doing interviews with journalists and his popularity has hit a new level with numerous media outlets covering the story. One would assume that cops are getting even more aggressive in tracking down the criminal.
Craig Lynch is now updating his Facebook Page multiple times a day. Given that Facebook has worked with authorities in the past, I’d imagine that it’s only a matter of time before Craig Lynch gets caught. At this point the authorities are in hot pursuit of Lynch and there’s a good chance that he’ll be caught in a matter of days. Then again, Craig may understand technology better than we’d expect and is avoiding leaving any tracks.
Craig’s popularity has surged in the past few hours alone and he’s eating it up. One of his latest updates reads:
i’m messaging you all to tell you to check out channel 5 news uk at 19.30 uk time i just gave them an exclusive phone interview so all you supporters and HATERS out there tune in thank you all love your favourite facebook fugitive Lazie
He also spent most of Sunday interacting with his Facebook fans. He also appears to be going on dates with women based on the status updates posted by Gawker. Despite running from the law, it appears as though Craig is enjoying himself. How he’s paying for everything, I have no idea. Given that he’s a convicted burglar, one would only expect him to be doing the same thing to pay for his current lifestyle. It will be interesting to see how long Craig can avoid the police.
lol! ;D

It appears that the much hyped alleged ‘UK Big Brother System’ is too busy reading ‘Joe Public's’ Faxes, e-mails,Texts and listening and recording our phone calls to be able to perform their duty catching real criminals does it not?
As is usual: UK laws protect the criminals whilst Victimizing the Victims of Crime.

Not that we can seriously condone ‘Craig Lynch’ and his antics on Facebook. But let us examine what he is actually doing.
Firstly he escaped from an open prison close to his release date. Valid reasons you will see just keep reading.
Next he sets up a base in the very popular Social Networking Site Facebook. Valid reasons you will see just keep reading.
By setting up an account on ‘Facebook’, he now starts to broadcast to the World what he is doing and taking the Mickey out of the so-called Policing system.
Now he’s getting increased attention via regular updates from an unregistered mobile phone. The Media see the attention this is getting and broaden his ‘Street Cred’. Also bearing in mind this is Christmas time and more people will be using the web then at any other time, hence a larger audience. By being provocative he gains added attention from those who see him as Scum taking the Mickey. That’s just what the media like as it gains more attention. In just a few days hundreds of Media units around the World publish his actions. He has come across to the public just like Bonny & Clyde.
Now contracts for his story are the next move with the money he can get a top Lawyer and explain that he was doing this to get money for the story after all his defense council will say he only had a short time to go before his release date. He’s out free loads of cash and possibly a Film contract to go with the story. Not so stupid as you might think.

The promotion of this criminal idiot and his antics is just another example of society going down the crapper. This clown is nothing but a waste of bandwidth.
