“Go away or I’ll shoot myself!”

I believe that in Bank Robbery 101, the student is generally taught that when a heist goes sour, one should snatch a hostage and threaten to kill he, she or it. But our boy in this case was obviously not in class the day that lesson was taught. When cornered by police, he instead chose to take what our Illustrious Weirdo Chuck Shepherd has termed "the only way out."

It worked for Black Bart in "Blazing Saddles".

First, there are few as talented as Cleavon Little.
Second, a convicted bank robber would get about 10 years in prison. That would come out to a few hundred "conjugal visits" from a big hairy, toothless, tattooed gang member. I'd take "The Only Way Out" as well!
