This article details how one of Britain's most famous criminals has finally been released from custody. Ronnie Biggs has become a British Legend after being a part of the "Great Train Robbery" back in 1963. He was captured and sentenced to prison for injuring the driver of the train but he escaped from jail and fled to Brazil where he lived on beaches and relaxed in a "playboy and luxurious lifestyle". He repeatedly flaunted his fortune and easy lifestyle in Brazil. The Brazilian government refused to extradite him to the British Authorities and his rebellion in full view of the British government led to him being a "cult icon" in the British Isles. He decided to return to Britain and was arrested immediately. He spent the past few years in prison and is no longer capable of taking care of himself. The British government released him being that he is no longer a threat to society.
I think what he did was wrong but his story is humorous, he stuck it to the British government repeatedly and I find it funny just from a personal perspective. I think what they did was right and humane.
haha, wow...
