In November, CL honored Barbie Bandit male co-conspirator Benny Herman Allen III as one of Atlanta’s 11 Least Influential People.

Despite acting as the “inside man” during the infamous bank heist, Allen was little more than a footnote in the coverage.

Today’s AJC.com coverage of the Barbie Bandit sentencing hearing drives home the point:

Amid a gaggle of media jamming the courtroom, Staley ordered Miller to serve 2 years on the bank theft and drug possession charges with 8 years on probation.

Benny Allen III, the Bank of America teller who was their inside guy, was sentenced as well.

He was sentenced as well.

For how long? Who cares?

It’s not like he’s a white woman from Gwinnett County or anything.

This morning, ABC’s “Good Morning America” aired an interview with Heather Johnston, aka, one of the so-called Barbie Bandits.

It was a vile display that tarnishes the reputations of all involved.

Note to ABC: They’re not “blond bombshells.” One of them is a brunette. And people who only look good on fuzzy surveillance videos aren’t bombshells.

Note to Heather: Please don’t ever speak in public again. You sound dumber than a pole at your place of employment.
