PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A man convicted of robbing businesses while wearing traditional Islamic women's clothing that hid his face was sentenced Wednesday to 82 years in prison.

Stanley Skeeters, 30, was convicted in March of the armed robberies of three pizza parlours and a grocery store committed by a burqa-clad gunman.

"Employees were tied up and terrorized, staring at the barrel of a sawed-off shotgun, wondering if they were going to live to see another day," U.S. Attorney Patrick Meehan said.

Skeeters was convicted of conspiracy, interference with interstate commerce by robbery and firearms charges.

His lawyer did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Do you think it makes a difference in the sentence he got that he was wearing Islamic clothing?
Then, if I wear a Bush mask I'll just be dismissed? And they'll look for someone else.

No, it had nothing to do with the sentence. It's only reported for it's uniqueness.

Yeah, 82 years, what's the rush?

If your only advice for people planning an armed robbery is to not wear Islamic clothes...huh?

[Spec]

Oh, I forgot...

Try not to get caught!

Better?

No, you left out "don't rob people at gunpoint, ya antisocial douchebag." But other than that, yeah, fine.

Where the hell does one get a burka anyway?

Is converting to Islam in a western country grounds for a mental health evaluation?

Dallas is very integrated. Stores, restaurants, etc. or easily available.

[Lorizael]

You say "integrated", I say "hotbed of terrorism".

What's cool, IMO, is a shopping center here in Richardson called "Little Saigon". To me, that means a lot.

Clearly we must bomb Dallas. Let's mess with Texas!

...Conspiracy? Would that not require other people too?

My convert friend looks quite sane

At least, as sane as a devout believer can be

You're right!

We have one in Arlington, Virginia as well, pretty big place. And they fly a HUGE South Viet Namese flag over it, which I find historically interesting.
