Ed, this is about L.A. Parker’s Aug. 21 column making a case for unarmed bank robbery, not murder. The fact that he says “bless her sticky-fingered soul,” the possibility she stole $300,000 and he’s justifying that is absolutely outrageous. He’s basically giving a recipe for how citizens can go and rob a bank, which we the taxpayers have to pay back eventually.

He was trying to point out the tragic absurdity of murdering someone over a few bucks, not trying to condone felony theft.—Ed. Note
