          Prettiest town, that I've ever seen.
          People there don't treat you mean,
          in Abilene, my Abilene.







          Abilene, even though they bust heroes , is much more "Texas" than Dallas.
          A guy from Abilene walked from Fort Worth to Istanbul in the 1930's - backwards!

          Only in Abilene, eh?

            Not bad. 70 years later and a Dane is talking about him.

              And that means that he should get a slap on the wrist for not following the conditions of his parole?

                Burglary is nothing to sneeze at, but if he did his time and they arrested him for a parole violation, then they do have a problem with common sense. But that's the nature of the beast - by the book doesn't always work. Parole should be done away with, and most parole violations are over ridiculous things like missing appointments, etc...

                  With all due respect, yes, the purpose of parole is to keep track of a criminal to see that they've changed their ways. What better proof does anyone need to see this guy has turned over a new leaf?

                    what a typo

                    Man, that poor guy....

                    That has to be the worst typo ever...

                            Yeah. We need to get out of the "letter of the law" mode and go into "spirit of the law".

                            Whether it be a Canadian on a saleboat who accidently got into the US border, or a burgler who saved 3 lives............

                              Anyhoo, Texas parole boards are notoriously strict. This guy is going back to prison.

                                Geez, Dino, we were talking about a guy who violated a law at one stage of his life, then risked his own life to save others while on probation. I'd say the second act might be the proof we need that he has reformed. But now it appears he may have set the fire so he could play the hero. That's the latest scuttlebutt anyways, he's now an arson suspect.
