Never once collected other peoples money due to choosing  not to work (welfare). Never once got a job due to race( working white guy). The only benefits I get will be social security which I paid into and is my money......again due to working all my life. My wifey is eligible for most of the "free" handouts but we choose to have jobs and pay our own way. She is very proud that she lives by her own means and refuses the handouts. My children are the same way. Its a cultural thing with us. Maybe you were raised to count on others to carry you? The two criminals in the story, if they have a little native blood, are more then likely eligible for lifetime welfare, job preference, free schooling, free healthcare, free legal, free land,free flying, free substance abuse rehab, free housing ect ect....the list goes on and on. Where does all this free stuff come from? Sorry ....you lose that bet by a loooonnnnggggg shot!
