Houston, TX iPad Thieves Identified & are being Hunted by Cops because of a Social Media Snafu

Meet 20 y/o Dorian Markee Walker-Gaines, a Houston area fugitive (he is seen posing in the still photos below with his self-alleged "brother" named Dylan...)

Dorian is no stranger to the criminal justice system, even at 20 years of age, having several prior arrests (see his previous mugshots below)...

On January 8th, 2015 Randy Schaefer (pictured below with his girlfriend) discovered that his truck had been burglarized and that his iPad, a laptop computer, a radar detector, and some cash had been taken from the vehicle which had been parked in front of his Houston home.  Naturally after discovering the burglary and theft Randy reported the crime to the cops but, unexpectedly, a week after the crime, Randy made another discovery:  To his surprise a series of images had been automatically uploaded from the missing iPad to his iCloud account, and those images showed the two knuckleheads posing for the camera and holding fans of $100.00 bills. One of the dopes, now identified as Dorian, even uploaded a gloating video (which you can see here) to his Facebook account, in which he identified himself as “Dorian” and his sidekick as his brother “Dylan.”  

In the video Dorian, "brilliant" dope that he is, is heard saying "This, my good people, is what we get from a good night's hustle".  When Randy saw the stills and video he promptly turned them over to the Houston Police (who already had the report but who were then "armed" with a real live lead).  In short order someone - presumably a friend of Dorian's - posted a warning on Dorian's Facebook page stating "Yo, deactivate yur page n****h yu hot.", and then the page went offline (which is perhaps the smartest thing that Dorian can be accused of doing in this case).  Still, its only a matter of time before the cops catch they prey.  

Memo to Dorian:  You are obviously anything but "brilliant".  You have essentially proven the government's case against you by your own actions and words.  While some might call this considerate (no doubt you will save the system the expense of a trial and your lawyer the time needed to prepare an effective and meaningful defense) I call it "stupid" (and, just so you know, "stupid" is an antonym (and an "antonym" is a word with a definition which is opposite another word... in this / your case it is an antonym for....) "brilliant".  Welcome to the club.  You earned a free membership.
