You can’t get by those Coloradoans. Those are the sharpest people there are at those high altitudes.

... catching and prosecuting bank robbery suspects is scaring away other would-be robbers.

I wonder if this criminological phenomenon might be applied to other crimes, in other jurisdictions.

“Dunn says one of the other significant changes that could be contributing to a drop in cases is that many bank robbery cases are now prosecuted in federal court, which carries harsher punishments than cases prosecuted in state courts.”

yeah, the Feds don’t F around as much as the sob-sister local DAs & judges ...

i knew we had a metric shiteton of bank robberies: in our little berg, there were several a year there for a while, so it makes sense that Colorado is No. One in bank robberies ... buy hey, at least we’re No. One in something!!!

They are often committed by recidivist criminals. People who have long criminal histories...

What stops bank robberies is putting these "recidivist" criminals who have "long criminal histories" into prison for the rest of their lives.
