'Bandit' is 'racist'. The man had a dream. Let him keep his loot.

I suspect "such as manufacturing license plates while in prison for bank robbery" is a very recent interpolation in Wikipedia.

This is classic, as is the title of this post. Steve is invaluable.

Agreed. "Bandit" is blatant dog-whistle terminology. He is a community wealth redistributor.

This fella's biography illustrates very tidily a broader point which Heartiste has been just hammering home lately - namely that so many of these people who are attracted to endeavors like postmodern politics are nothing more than utterly nihilistic sociopaths who share a great deal in common [psychologically] with e.g. mass murderers.

There's a 'view history' link at the top of every page - some diligent wikipedia-er should clean that up.

Regarding the masked and armed robber, at the bank teller's window,
who figures in one of the photos
illustrating the post:

Is he seen at that moment living in the Shadows, or coming out of them?

He is 59 years old? Doesn't look like it. Usually as people get older they mellow out and even criminals get tired of their own antics.

Don't disrespect a future Republican voter. Enough guys like this on our side because of amnesty, and Romney is a shoo-in for '16.

Honest question is that really a good sketch of the guy or not?

This may just be bad pattern recognition on my part but I definitely wouldn't have been able to identify the guy from the sketch.

This is up there with Malcolm X's grandson getting killed in Mexico City while hanging out with an "immigration activist" outside of a drag bar called "Diversity".

I think both are true. The witness and the police sketch artist did well above average work together in this case, but the final step of "catching a likeness" that caricaturists do appears to be just about impossible for witnesses and police artists to pull off.

the editwar over that line is glorious. Also amazing how someone came in 7 hours later to "fix" it.

It's not bank robbery, it's 'undocumented withdrawal'

Both the original post and the comments are the sorts of reasons why I keep coming back here.

LOL@
"community wealth redistributor"
"Don't disrespect a future Republican voter. Enough guys like this on our side because of amnesty, and Romney is a shoo-in for '16."
'undocumented withdrawal'

and the original wikipedia edit, that was comedy gold!

Ironically enough, Heartiste is speculating about that very sort of thing - what life must be like for the aging sociopath - right now, on his front page:

"The problem of isolation arises because, in truth, many obligate womanizers are psychologically unsound. The men who are most successful with women are also the most sociopathic. Chicks may dig dark triad men, but other men don’t dig them so much. This encourages social isolation from same-sex peers, which is compounded when the womanizer is young, and just beginning his journey to endarkenment. The isolation grows in proportion to the number of friends who have gotten married off, because wives pretty much make it their mission in life to sever their husbands’ ties to any remaining single male friends who are still having a blast slashing and burning through dense forests of bush."

I don't remember ever seeing a police sketch that looked like the person who was eventually arrested for the crime.

Mr. Sailer your comment about "likeness" got me thinking about that internet meme that went around with the black newscaster reporting a suspect sketch that looked exactly like him. Maybe that sketch artist needs to give courses.

I take that back I just looked up the video of that incident and the sketch really isn't that close to the newscaster either.
