I go to prison.
And for two years while I was in prison, I was like, all right, now I'm going to be a bank robber.
That's it.
And that's all when I get out.
And when I got out two years later, for 14 months, I robbed 30 banks, sometimes several in one day.
That's how I became a bank robber, because I lost all sense that my life was going to be long at all.
I just wanted to grab the loot and get the hell out of Dodge as fast as possible and go spend it and have fun.
That was my ethos.
And there was a reason why L.A.
was the bankruptcy capital of the world at that time.
Right.
So and I was just part of it.
Why L.A.?
Well, a lot of freeways for one.
Okay.
How did I plan or whatever?
It was just, you know, I was just robbing mostly towelers.
So that was, you know, it's not like I was heat or anything like that.
I robbed a couple vaults, but mostly it was just, you know, towelers stuff.
I just knew that I was slick about how I would never get caught.
