Perhaps now they will denounce the City of Round Rock, Texas for naming a major street after train robber, bank robber and cop killer Sam Bass.

Sam Bass (21 July 1851–21 July 1878) was a nineteenth-century American train robber and western icon. Handsome and charismatic, he is best known for his brief, yet extremely lucrative career as a train and bank robber.
