Episode 2.50 3/3/17 - Johnny Get Your Gun - Those Federal Bastards Doomed To Reheat

    • History

Johnny was born wild. The son of a grocer, and a deacon, he was treated harsh, in the name of love, of course. Spare the rod and all that. But When Johnny started running with the wrong crowd, and gettin scraped up with the law, his pa moved them out into the country, to get away from the disturbing influences of the big city. Did them no nevermind, though, Johnny was taken for a bit of auto theft and he was back in the system.

A stick up at a Grocery store (take that, dad) netted him fifty dollars and eight years in the hoosegow. And it was there Johnny learned all his stealcraft. Taken under wing of several of the more experienced inmates, he learned all he could about his chosen profession. He vowed when he got out he’d be the meanest son of a b***h who ever was. After eight years, he hit his first bank two months after release.
