At Least They Didn't Call Him The Ugly Stupid Bandit
-
The nicknames they assign to robbers are getting more and more pejorative. Take this gentleman, who allegedly robbed a gas station in Houston and has been dubbed the Grandpa Bandit. see, he's old. He's in his 60s, and the clerk didn't believe that he was going to rob the place until she saw his gun. But now he has this nickname, and while they look for him, it does raise the topic of whether insulting the robbers is a good way to flush them out and find them. It gives us all a good laugh, but is that a good crime-fighting tactic? (Houston Chronicle)
