"At least he's got some years left,"

No job, perhaps no income and if lucky maybe a family member or two left. Yea, he's realy lucky.........he reminds me of the old black guy in Shawshank Redemption....

BTW, who's Lou? :)

Lou is the lazy, incompetent duputy in Fargo, or any lazy incompetent, especially a subordinate.

Police Chief Mary Gunderson arrives at the scene of the slaying of a State Trooper, after Lou, who was the first officer to arrive. http://www.filmsite.org/fargo2.html takes it from there:

According to her incompetent deputy, the last vehicle that the trooper cited was "a tan Ciera at 2:18 am. Under the plate number, he put DLR - I figure they stopped him or shot him before he could finish fillin' out the tag number...So I got the state lookin' for a Ciera with a tag startin' DLR. They don't got no match yet." Considerate of her partner's low aptitude and poor policework, she demonstrates her superior observational skills - along with a joke:

Marge: I'm not sure that I agree with you a hundred percent on your policework there, Lou.
Lou: Yah?
Marge: Yah. I think that vehicle there probably had dealer plates. DLR?
Lou: Oh...Geez.
Marge: Say Lou. Did ya hear the one about the guy who couldn't afford personalized plates, so he went and changed his name to J3L 2404?
Lou: Yah, that's a good one.

Allen was a 30-year-old migrant farm worker from Georgia with a criminal history that included burglaries and a violent assault when he sneaked into an unlocked house and stole a 19-inch black-and-white television worth $140. Some state records say Allen roughed up the 87-year-old woman who lived there, but he was not convicted of assault.

Well boo-hoo. I wonder how many times this loser has been in and out of jail before they finally decided to put him away for good.

[Mark17]

Expensive.

Maybe so, but more than likely, he would have done much more damage to society if he were let go.

[demlosers]

Yes, probably.

[smoothsailing]

I remember now. I rented the DVD and watched it twice. LOL!

I think "I'm not sure that I agree with you a hundred percent on your policework there, Lou." should be added to the Freeper Canon, along with "Pining for the fjords" and "Stuned by my beeber, series, hugh!"
