Man who took one bill and handed rest back to bank teller gets 15-year sentence

Created: January 15, 2009 04:08 PM



A man who said he robbed a downtown Shreveport bank because he was out of a job and hungry has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for first-degree robbery.



Roy Brown, 54, of Audrey Lane, pleaded guilty in Caddo District Court to robbing the Capital One bank in December 2007.



Brown admitted walking up to a teller with one of his hands under his jacket and telling her it was a "stickup." The teller handed the man three stacks of bills and he took a single $100 bill, told her he was homeless and left, police said.



Brown surrendered to police the next day, telling them his mother didn't raise him that way.



Police let him sober up and interviewed him two days later. Police said Brown told them he needed money to stay in a downtown detox center, had nowhere to stay and was hungry -- so he walked up the street and robbed the bank.



This is what we do to a thief who returns all the money. What are we doing to the thieves in the financial sector and Wall Street who swindled and stole billions, asked for more money from us via TARP for their million dollar bonuses, and without remorse let alone returning it?

So true. The man needed help and we just toss him in a place where no one cares and they only learn better ways to commit crimes?



Brilliant. Nice fucking work.



Grrr. Sorry.

“All human life is a gift from our creator that is sacred, unique and worthy of protection. On National Sanctity of Human Life Day, our country recognizes that each person... has a special place and purpose in this world,” reads the presidential proclamation.



Tell that to the children who go to bed starving, the ones who needed to see a doctor, undergo procedures, or get medicine that you prevented by vetoing Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 ("SCHIP").



Tell that to the family members of the executed and then vindicated after their deaths. Tell that to the young victims of Katrina who you watched perish on roof tops while playing golf.



Tell that to the 90,329 Iraqi babies, children, men, and women that have died in meritless war, or the innocent afghan citizens young and old who have died because you dropped the ball on the real front on terror.



Tell that to our own soldiers who put their lives on the line for a war motivated not on facts but on your thirst for blood and profits. Tell that to the people we are torturing; tell that to the US soldier’s that will face torture due to our own usage of torture.



Tell that to the girl who was just raped by her father, but has to get his permission for an abortion.



So please Mr. Bush, tell me again, how you oh noble President who was anointed by God values the lives of others.

I love the verse in Matthew that talks about the speck of dust in your brother's eye- while you have a log in your own.



Sometimes faith is more than what it should be, for those who would be righteious it can lead to judgemental behaviour instead of compassion.

It is the hypocrisy that makes me want to vomit. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but absence of consistency results in flawed logic and ideology. If you’re pro life and anti capital punishment and for protecting life at all stages, you do not fit into the group that that disgusts me.



Jan 20th cannot come any sooner.

"So please Mr. Bush, tell me again, how you oh noble President who was anointed by God values the lives of others."



... by slipping this into law, past all of of us, in his last moments of power.



The far-reaching regulation cuts off federal funding for any state or local government, hospital, health plan, clinic or other entity that does not accommodate doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other employees who refuse to participate in care they find ethically, morally or religiously objectionable. It was sought by conservative groups, abortion opponents and others to safeguard workers from being fired, disciplined or penalized in other ways.



But women's health advocates, family planning proponents, abortion rights activists and some members of Congress condemned the regulation, saying it will be a major obstacle to providing many health services, including abortion, family planning, infertility treatment, and end-of-life care, as well as possibly a wide range of scientific research.




Thank you president dumbass .... would you now please leave!
