Lovely countryside and river @janton highway robbers in days gone by, now referred to as politicians, pity the hangman's rope no longer services the trade, although this was the most unusual story I have heard!

lol! Howdy joanstewart! Laughing at your reference about the politicians, that is so true in most cases! I agree that capital punishment is a good deterrent and when the conviction is strong then punishment should be swift and execution by hanging might be an additional deterrent! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Sadly I don't believe there is any deterrent in the world today to stop the greed and stupidity one has to live with of late. Not even the hangman's noose puts them off, then I also don't agree with jail sentencing where tax payers have to feed, cloth and look after their medical needs either. We definitely have not learned from history, live each day as it comes, did enjoy your story so keep going strong!
You may be right about the deterrent, I haven't looked up any stats on that. It would be sad if people are so crazy or evil or have no conscience that there is no deterrent but maybe that's where we're at.
The costs of keeping prisoners is insane. My wife is a guard at the county jail and the money spent housing them is nuts! Thanks so much for your kind words!
