Don't Mess With Texas


They don't play around in Texas, for sure.  140 years for one dude and 354 years for the leader.  That is crazy.  Really?  354 years?  Why that particular number?  The judge could've just sentenced him to a million years and it wouldn't have made a difference in the grand scheme of life expectancy.  


And the gang is called the Scarecrow Bandits.  Were they shedding straw all over the place?  Dressed in dungarees and old worn out flannel shirts?  Come to think of it, why are we still calling bank robbers "bandits"?


But sentenced to 354 years.  That is insane.  If I were a bank robber, maybe the "half-asian bandit", I would stay away from the state that has no qualms for frying the mentally challenged, for sure.
