The Bizarre Collar Bomb Bank Robbery

"And balding on top." Damn, Why you gotta do him like that?

Wells: This bomb is going to kill me Police: ight Wells: dies Police: Oh well that was unexpected

Just so everyone knows, in 2018 (after this video was released), Jessica Hoopsick said that she was involved with the plot, and was asked to find a "gopher" to be scared into robbing a bank. Hoopsick said Wells was "a pushover" and chose him, and she identified KENNETH BARNES as the head conspirator. She also said that Wells had no prior knowledge of the plot.

This entire case has the same chaotic energy as tiger king. Like, the deeper you get into it the more you realise not a single sane person was involved

John Mulaney's suicide note: "This has nothing to do with the death of Princess Diana."

Writing suicide note: this has nothing to with the disappearance of C.C. Tinsely

Y’all forgot the most messed up part of the case, they cut off Wells’ head in order to preserve the collar bomb for evidence

Coming to this video to say that I knew Brian Wells personally as a child. This horrific incident happened when I was nine years old. The landlord in question is my grandmother. Brian was a wonderful guy for the short time I knew him. My brother and I made mini pizzas with him one day in the shop where he worked using the giant mixer. He was always polite and friendly when we visited (cuz the rental is in the backyard he was always kind of around). I saw someone mention that he was mentally challenged but that definitely wasn't apparent to me or anyone else in my family. As far as I know, Brian was a good dude.

Imagine your house being so repulsive that the cops have to wear hazmat suits to investigate

i didn't realize my spotify was still playing music so i was trying to figure out why they were playing "celebration" when they were talking about a guy dying

Even sadder is that Jessica Hoopsick, the girl that set Brian up, gave birth shortly after the heist and it's believed to be Brian's. So Brian would have been a father and jessica has to live knowing shes responsible for getting her child's father killed. Crazy story all the way around

I just watched a documentary on this case. Jessica Hoopsick later admitted that she had told those 3 monsters involved in the planning of the heist about Brian Wells and that Brian was easily manipulated and a pushover, so they used him as their bomb carrier. He didn't really know what he was getting into. She went along with it cuz she was going to get 5000 dollars out of it but she said she felt terrible for getting Brian involved cuz he was really good to her and he was innocent. Apparently he was a good guy, according to everyone that knew him personally. All i know is i feel bad for that guy cuz no one helped him as he sat there pleading for help

"TV repairman turned crack dealer" that's quite a career path

"There is a bomb stuck to me!" "Shut up Brian, we are trying to find out how to arrest a bomb"

Why is it called the "bizarre collar bomb incident" instead of the "erie collar bomb incident" because it happened in Erie Pennsylvania Missed opportunity.

As someone who’s been to that mcdonald’s multiple times, a man rummaging through the bushes is probably one of the lesser of suspicious things i’ve seen there

ok but the real question here is whether or not shane and ryan cleaned their closets

I used to be afraid of ghosts but thanks to buzzed unsolved am now afraid of human beings.

Something to point out with Brian’s “calmness”. It’s very possible he was in shock. People often refer to the fight/flight/freeze response and a common attribute to the freeze response is disassociation caused by trauma. It’s also possible that his survival instincts kicked in and realized if he acted out, the people watching him would have set off the bomb.

I work at a thrift store and we have a code word for when someone donates something that we can’t sell and needs to be crushed. We say “take this to Wesley.”
