Regarding the two gals that robbed a Georgia Bank. I hear that rather than being charged with bank robbery they will be charged with theft instead. I can't help but think that this has more than a little to do with their color and general good looks.
IMO, if it were two heavy set African-American girls of maybe just Af.-Am. girls they'd be facing bank robbery charges; the charge most people are charged with for robbing a bank regardless of how little they actually walk away with.
I am not saying that I agree that all should be charged with the federal charge of bank robbery. I think you have to look at the circumstances and act accordingly but, as I recall, most everyone is charged with bank robbery if they go in and demand money from a teller.
So, what's going on here?
