How embarassing! What a way to have your picture plastered all over the news! His family must be very proud. Well, if he’s looking for gratification, his cellmate might be obliged to help after hearing this!

He certainly doesn’t sound like a very nice person or upstanding citizen.

Why are bank robbers usually black? MLK must be turning in his grave.

It is statistically true, with some exceptions, that the criminal profile of serial killers and mass murderers are white males, usually disgruntled from a sense of rejection or being denied expected entitlements above what everyone else has to earn. It is also true that there are good and bad people of all sorts and colors, so any incident doesn’t make a hard and fast rule in order to justify stereotypes or prejudice.

Plain Facts

He bought the toys to “prepare” himself for prison. He was a boy scout once and still lived by the motto “be prepared’. What he didn’t know was that he needed to be prepared for his new prison “husband”, Bubba. As he is “taken” repeatedly, either he will enjoy it so much that he will plan more robberies after getting released or he may try another profession. My guess, many “visits” to his new fan club, hell, he’s “prepared” now!!
