Robin Hood: The Next Generation

Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Mon, Jul 7, 2008 at 7:45 PM

Paraphrasing police, today's AJC compares the metro area's recent wave of designer blue jean thefts to Robin Hood:

Atlanta police say the groups have a gang-like mentality that's part greed, part Robin Hood [. . .] They wear what they steal, and sell it to their friends and family members at reduced rates, police say.

Ah, yes! Who can forget the legend of Robin Hood, who, with his band of Merry Men robbed from small shop owners, sold the spoils to friends and family at reduced rates, and used the rest for drugs and guns.

Nice catch, Andisheh. I wonder why so many people, like this boob at the AJC, always get Robin Hood wrong. Robin Hood stole from the government and would have likely chased down these hoods.
