This collage meme is split into three sections: the top left and right show police booking mugshots of a California man and woman respectively, positioned against a standard police height measurement backdrop. The lower section displays dark, grainy night surveillance footage showing an orange car on the left and a person lying prone on the ground on the right, identified as an alleged bike thief attacked by the couple. Large white text over the bottom of the image explains that the couple spent 5 months luring bike thieves onto their property, assaulting them with baseball bats, and posting the attack footage online, leading to their own arrest. The meme is paired with the title 'FAFO :)' (Fuck Around and Find Out), which applies ironically to both the thieves facing consequences for theft and the couple facing legal repercussions for their illegal vigilante violence.

This image is a screenshot of a post from the verified X (formerly Twitter) account @MorbidKnowledge, reporting on a story from Visalia, California. The post explains that 25-year-old Corey Cornutt and 29-year-old Savannah Grillot spent five months intentionally luring bike thieves into their front yard using an unlocked bicycle, beating the thieves with aluminum baseball bats, and posting the footage online, leading to their arrest in January. Below the post text are the couple's mugshots, followed by security camera footage of a person attempting to steal a bike near an orange pickup truck. A red circle highlights a user-submitted community note on the post, which states that the local district attorney's office declined to file charges against the couple, clearing them of all criminal wrongdoing. The post is framed as a satisfying update for people frustrated by lack of consequences for petty bike theft.

This is a viral meme covering the real-life story of Arizona inmate Ricky Wassenaar. The main image shows Ricky from behind, wearing an orange prison uniform, raising a homemade prison weapon (a rock wrapped in netting inside a sock) over his shoulder inside a prison dining hall with other inmates blurred in the background. A circular inset headshot of Ricky is also included. The image displays a quote from Ricky after he killed 3 convicted child molesters in one day in prison, where he states he wanted to kill all child molesters so taxpayers no longer have to pay to house them, and that this action is him paying his debt to society, noting his original goal was to kill 13. The meme's title plays on widespread public sentiment that while Ricky is technically a convicted inmate (a 'bad guy'), many people view his actions against child predators as morally justified, hence the wording that he is a bad guy but not a BAD guy.

You are bad guy. But that doesn't mean you a BAD guy
