SO "suspect" that not only did he BRAG about BOTH (there were two) robberies,
but he planned a violent escape from custody.

He was convicted of FOUR murders. He ADMITS he was a gang leader.

Absolutely. I thought Karla Fay Tucker was full of crap too.

And whom he BRAGGED about murdering?

Who'd Gerry Adams murder?

He "disbanded" the Klan. An act which I consider of equal "sincerity" with any
of Tookie Williams' self-serving statements.

A "negotiated settlement" to do WHAT?

The Molotov-Ribbontrop Pact was a "negotiated settlement" too. So was
Chamberlain's Munich agreement.

Whom did those help?
