I THINK WE’RE UNDERPUNISHING VIOLENT CRIME: The guy who killed a cashier at a cafeteria in Knoxville was shot by police, and in the story we learn this:

Chesney’s last bank robbery in December 2005 netted him $15,000 from the First Tennessee Bank on Millertown Pike. Police caught him within an hour and took the money back. Authorities at the time called him a suspect in at least two other robberies.

Chesney left prison in 2008 and remained on supervised release until his death.

Fewer than 3 years in jail for bank robbery?
