The owner was a really nice guy. Years ago when he was in his late teens/early twenties he killed someone in a robbery and was sent to prison. He escaped about 10 or 15 years later, assumed a new identity and ended up in Dayton. He got a job managing this little mom and pop video store, and then eventually earned enough money to buy the store. The dude worked 12 hours a day every day except Sundays when he only worked 8 hours. He ran the place for several years and was a well liked person in the community we lived in. We rented movies and games from him almost every week for about 2 years.

Then he ended up on the FBI&#39;s most wanted TV show. He saw it and turned himself in. Now he&#39;s back in prison so he can be rehabilitated. :rolleyes:

When he gets out he won&#39;t have a job and because of his age he will have a hell of a time getting one. He won&#39;t have any savings to retire on. And there is an excellent chance he&#39;ll have to turn back to a life of crime to survive. Justice has been done. :thumbs:

How do you know so much about this guy Sirc?

[Sirc]

Well, like I said I knew him for 2 years, and his story was in the local papers.

[666vicious666]

Interesting.............................Did you know he was a murderer at the time?

LOL&#33; No. :)

[666vicious666]

Well that&#39;s like a cousin of mine....................He has the same name as my uncle(who is a millionare) so he signed up for credit cards in his name and used them to buy crack with.

[Rivers]

Man I know a crack junkie too and this guy does anything to get money for crack. He even shaved his head bald cause he thought bugs were crawling on him 24/7 it was funny and sad at the same time. :blink:

Yeah, it&#39;s a shame he had to go back to jail. It&#39;s just not fair, even though the person he killed doesn&#39;t have a chance to earn enough money to buy a store of their own, or work hard 12 hours a day to make some money for retirement, much less a job or any kind. Nope, their just filling a hole about 6 feet below the top of the soil.

It&#39;s idiotic you feel that way. He&#39;s a murderer, and then escapes when, had he stayed in and done his time, he&#39;d probably be out now. I don&#39;t feel sorry for that P.O.S. Justice will be done when he serves his debt to society.

Earthbound? Is that where Ness from Super Smash Brothers Melee originates from?
