Extremely Grumpy Old Man Goes Out On A Violent Robbery Spree
“About two weeks later, on July 1, a man wearing a hat and a bandanna entered Family Loan. ‘He was kind of running in and carrying a gun, and told my employees that he didn’t want to kill anybody, and for them to get on the floor, and they followed his instructions,’ Mr. Chamblee said. ‘He asked the young lady for the cash, and she gave it to him.’ The gunman ordered the three employees into a bathroom and barred the door with a chair. Then he needed to rest.”
–The amazing story of 63-year-old Arthur Williams, who was convicted of committing 134 crimes in the 1970s and spent 33 years in prison before being released last year, only to go on a ten-day robbery spree that ended with his death the Sunday before last in a car accident resulting from a high-speed police, seems to speak to a disturbing addiction to the thrill of breaking the law. That or Williams was auditioning for a role in the new Bruce Willis movie, Red, which I want to see.
