Gullible morons should know it's not that easy to make money. I feel little sympathy for the victims.

Why is it relevant that they are white, middle-aged or female? Or even that there are nine?

Any relevant discussion, surely, is moot, as it must be reasonable to expect that frauds who prey on innocent people should go to gaol.

It would be nine months too long for me.
WHY is WOMEN not capitalised in the title??????? Middle-aged & white are both capitalised so OP must be a filthy MISOGYNIST.

Again, why is the robber's skin colour relevant?

You made a point of mentioning it. You tell me why you did so.
Has anyone asked leaders of the white community to give their opinions on this yet? When can I see the newspaper stories explaining that not all middle aged people are like this?

I just don't think I can trust another middle aged person again.

no im saying it shouldnt make a difference. but a black robber gets 15 years in jail and a gang of middle aged white women stealing perhaps more money get 9 months in jail. cna you explain the difference.

Perhaps because fraud and bank robbery are two different crimes.

they are both theft of money, amounts maybe similar. i would argue stealing from people directly is wore than stealing from a large heavily insured bank

middle-aged persons are bad enough; middle aged-women are particularly dangerous, but white middle-aged women are a complete no-no.

As for people who associate 9 by 9, please, don't get me started ...
