This whole prisoner/former prison nurse wife shootout escape thing is interesting. One of the news teasers on MSNBC was about why women dig convicts. It's often as simple as a woman working in a prison seeing all this buffed bad boy meat LOCKED UP. In other words, horny snarly guys who are completely dependent and completely incapable of leaving the woman. The Captive Boyfriend. I've always been amazed by the prevalence of this - of all people who should know what a poor life mate candidate your basic incarcerated felon is, you'd think a correctional professional would be near the top of the list. But it's often that magical thinking of "he'll change for me, blah blah blah"

Bearable Bob

DFO: I'm posting this from a stream of consciousness post by Bob Salsbury here because I was wondering the same thing about that Tennessee shootout that left a guard dead here. Why do otherwise sane women fall from cons and then do stupid things for them?
