We need another epic criminal like we need an epic hero. Think back to days of old when Al Capone was doing his thing, when Bonnie and Clyde shared their loved in the weird way they did, when Jesse James was the king of the west.
We need a good ol' American criminal to keep things exciting, to keep us violently romantic. No, I don't mean terrorist like the Al Qaeda. And I am in no way promoting terrorism or terror groups or blah blah blah blah. These days, you never know what people mean.
But what I'm just saying is, if we have a notorious money laundrier today or a cool gangster that everybody knew but no one could pin down, how sweet would that be. Just someone that wants to get up in the world and not by normal industries. A string of heists across the country and the nation watches as they're gunned down at the end of their rope but they find no money or jewels.
To feel like you're part of the action although it's only happening on your news screens. But it's so close; Just in the next state, in the next town over, just down the street, right outside your door.
That would be pretty incredible.

Here we are saying how we hate our justice system because they can't seem to keep criminals off the streets...
and you want more.

Not "more" exactly, just, better organized and much more 'romanticized'
