“Stolen valor” bandits arrested

| November 3, 2017

Fox 5 San Diego reports that two burglars dubbed the “Stolen Valor Bandits” by police are behind bars. David Magana, 28, and Joseph Olmos, 24, wore stolen Marine Corps uniforms during their heists last year, earning them the moniker. They pleaded guilty in court.

Magana, who pleaded guilty to 11 counts of robbery, conspiracy, auto theft and personal use of a firearm, faces nearly 39 years in prison.

Olmos pleaded guilty to eight robbery charges, conspiracy, auto theft and evading police and faces 21 years and four months behind bars.

Were they wearing dress uniforms, swords and all? Did they have the proper medals correctly displayed?

Or were they just wearing pickle suits with someone else’s name tags sewn on and stolen rank pins, from, like, the war in the Viet of the Nam, where nobody wore shiny stuff because that made you a target?

And what did they have against the Marines, in particular, that they would steal those uniforms? Couldn’t they just go to a surplus store and buy them? OH, that’s right – gun-wielding pussies pretending to be holdup guys.

yeah, it’s not like there are any Marine bases nearby. In a way, though, this is not that unintelligent a move – everyone there recognizes a Marine uniform, and the first thing you do is read the name tape. No one looks at who is WEARING the uniform after that. As misdirection goes, it ain’t bad.

They get the sentence they deserve. And for a far heinous crime, Bergdahl get nothing
