*in b4 some blames chicago for this crime….*
That was quick. I bet with the fairly low crime rate in Washington County, their trials could even start in the morning, if they really want to exercise their right to a speedy trial.
Duh! A minority robs a bank in a small town Iowa and then take the one major highway out of town. This could be on the Stupid Criminals report on Jay Leno.
Obviously, someone isn't too familiar with the highway system in Washington. Highway 92 is a fairly major route too; it goes through four different states.
But then you couldn't make your racist comment, could you?
I'm from SE IA so I know exactly what highways go where. Highway 1 is the most heavily traveled two-lane in that area. Also, stating a fact is not racist, its a fact. 98% of small town Iowa is caucasian.
Another criminal master mind taken off the street…
