This week Crystal's going to be talking about a really interesting true crime case involving none other than Santa Claus! It seems back in 1927 someone thought it would be a good idea to dress up as Santa Claus and try to rob a bank. Spoiler alert - it was not a good idea. On What We're Watching we talk about the 2005 horror/comedy movie “Santa's Slay” starring Bill Goldberg. On Layla and Coffee Talk we hear about how Crystal went to Goodwill and didn't buy the girls a toy. They were devastated. Find us on the web: https://www.scarysavannahandbeyond.com Hate ads?

In the lead-up to Christmas, 1927, the good citizens of Cisco, Texas, were looking forward to celebrating the holiday with their nearest and dearest. But a group of men who rolled into town on the morning of December 23 from Wichita Falls had different ideas. Led by an ex-con in a Santa Suit, their actions at the town's First National Bank went on to spurn one of the state's biggest manhunts, ultimately leaving six men dead and numerous others wounded. What unfolded not just over the following week but the next couple of years afterward was equal parts a comedy of errors, a gripping tale of Wild West justice, and a tragedy for those who stepped up to protect and serve during one of the most audacious heists in Southern history. This is the story of the Santa Claus Bank Robbery.

When Santa walked into First National Bank on December 23, 1927, it wasn't to make a deposit or apply for a loan. He was there to make a permanent withdrawal at gunpoint, along with his helper. What ensued was a massive manhunt for the bandits and a lot less holiday cheer in the town of Cisco, Texas.SOURCEShttps://archive.org/details/StartlingDetectiveMar1930/page/n13/mode/2uphttps://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/santa-claus-bank-robberyhttps://www.mentalfloss.com/article/609749/santa-claus-bank-robbery-1927http://www.texasescapes.com/MaggieVanOstrand/The-Night-the-Posse-Chased-Santa.htmHouse, Boyce (March 1930).

Texas had a real problem with its banks being robbed in the 1920s. The problem was bad enough that the Texas Bank Association offered a $5,000 reward to anyone who shot a bank robber during the crime. A group of outlaws, led by Marshall Ratliff, devised a plan that they thought would protect them from law enforcement and reward-seeking vigilantes. Christmas was only a few days away so they figured having "Santa" with them while they robbed the First National Bank in Cisco, Texas would be their ticket to fortune. Marshall Ratliff, donning a stolen Santa suit, and his three accomplices entered the bank and proceeded to rob it on the morning of December 23, 1927. Within minutes, all hell broke loose and a gunfight broke out. The Santa Claus bandits would shoot their way out of the bank and make their getaway but they wouldn't find much Yuletide cheer in their future. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/middleagedandmediocre/message

Capital punishment is a hotly debated topic among Christians, and rightly so. Both the old and new testaments talk about it being within the government's rights. But let me know if you are aware of any verses that condone private citizens executing a man when the government isn't doing it fast enough for them. This week we are wrapping up the case of The Santa Claus Bank Robbery, an amazing book by the late journalist and author A.C. Greene. One robber died from injuries he suffered during the robbery, one was sentenced to 99 years in prison, and one was executed. We are picking up the story as Santa himself, Marshall Ratliff, is angling to be found insane and escape his appointment with the electric chair. Then we will dive into Romans 12:19-21: Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. I used to misunderstand this verse. That heaping burning coals sounded pretty revenge-like which can seem attractive when you're mad at somebody. But in other biblical references to burning coals, we see that they represent judgment, which is clearly God's. They also symbolize spiritual purification. Again, this is something only God can do. So when we feed our hungry enemies and give them something to drink, we are showing that we are different. We don't try to take revenge ourselves. We leave to God what is only His to do. The mob wanted to do what they wanted to do. And it was evil. Don't worry if you've missed the three previous episodes.

Da lì parte una sensazionale caccia all'uomo che si concluderò solo a fine anno, con l'arresto dei desperados che hanno provato a fare l'impresa. Un'impresa destinata a fallire miseramente, visto che il Texas era uno stato che incentiva l'omicidio dei rapinatori ed era uno stato pieno di armi da fuoco. --------- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/crimeandcomedy Youtube: https://youtu.be/dlXNb43imuk Tutti i Podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/CrimeandComedy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crimeandcomedy.podcast/ Telegram: https://t.me/crimeandcomedy Sito: https://www.crimeandcomedy.it Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/crimeandcomedy/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CrimeComedy Instagram: Clara Campi: https://www.instagram.com/claracampicomedy/ Marco Champier: https://www.instagram.com/mrchreddy/ Caricature - Giorgio Brambilla: https://www.instagram.com/giorgio_brambilla_bookscomedy/ Capitoli: (00:00:00) | Intro (00:00:40) | Sigla (00:00:54) | Buon Natale con Crime & Comedy Christmas Special (00:02:42) | Ringraziamenti Patreon (00:05:36) | Gli anni '20 il momento ideale per la Santa Claus Bank Robbery (00:10:26) | Marshall Ratliff l'ideatore della Santa Claus Bank Robbery (00:17:31) | La famigerata Santa Claus Bank Robbery si svolge il venerdì 23 dicembre 1927 (00:29:12) | L'insensata caccia all'uomo dopo la Santa Claus Bank Robbery (00:39:25) | L'arresto e i processi dalla banda della Santa Claus Bank Robbery (01:01:02) | Annunci importanti per le serate Live!

Early release programs for convicted felons are controversial, and always have been. It's a delicate balance to try to alleviate prison overcrowding yet keep the public safe. Marshall Ratliff, Henry Helms, and Robert Hill had all served time in Texas' Huntsville Prison. If they hadn't all been given what the public felt were light sentences with early release, would those who died during the Santa Claus Bank Robbery have lived full lives? We are in our third week of investigating A.C. Greene's book “The Santa Claus Bank Robbery.” If you missed the first two episodes, check todays show notes for links to get you caught up. Let's dive back into this case, then see what we can learn from John 8:1-11: Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives, but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them. As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd. “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?” They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust. When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn't even one of them condemn you?” “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.” This story has always fascinated me. We will use it to find another way we can each be a #personofimpact. If you missed the last two episodes, it's not too late to catch up!

What are you supposed to do when your plans go horribly wrong? You can give up and make the best of how things have turned out, or you can dig in and keep trying. That's what our four would-be bank robbers from last week decided to do, but no matter what they did, things just kept getting worse. Crime certainly didn't pay for them. If they hadn't had so much bad luck, they wouldn't have had any luck at all. We're continuing our story of The Santa Claus Bank Robbery. If you missed last week's episode, check out the link below you so you won't miss out on anything. When we left off, our four armed robbers Marshall Ratliff, Louis Davis, Henry Helms, and Robert Hill had just entered the Cisco Texas First National Bank to rob it. Our Bible passage this week is 1 Timothy 6:9-11 “People who want to get rich are tempted. They fall into a trap. They are tripped up by wanting many foolish and harmful things. Those who live like that are dragged down by what they do. They are destroyed and die. Love for money causes all kinds of evil. Some people want to get rich. They have wandered away from the faith. They have wounded themselves with many sorrows. But you are a man of God. Run away from all these things. Try hard to do what is right and godly. Have faith, love, and gentleness. Hold on to what you believe.” Wow! It almost sounds like Paul wrote this passage after reading this book! I think sometimes we think that as modern people we are so much more advanced than anyone who has come before us. But we struggle with the same things that the churches that Paul was writing to struggled with. The Bible is so relevant to our lives today! I'm guessing none of us have robbed a bank or killed someone with a shotgun blast. But Jesus always taught that what was in our heart was as important as our outward actions. I know that I've spent too much time working rather than being there for someone when they needed me. Paul said the love of money causes all kinds of evil. The LOVE of money. Not money itself. God knows that we need money to get shelter and food and medical care and all of the necessities of life. We also need it so we can give to people who are struggling with those basic necessities. We need it to support the work of the church and other ministries. Money is a tool. We can use it to do good things, or we can hoard it. When we do that Paul says that we wound ourselves with many sorrows, we're tripped up by wanting many foolish and harmful things. So for our practical action step I want us all to take some money that maybe we were going to use to splurge on ourselves and give it to a child who is struggling to have those basic necessities. That'll probably look different for all of us. Maybe for some that will be sponsoring a child through a group like Compassion International. Or maybe you know a family from your neighborhood or church that needs help. It might even look like partnering with Prison Fellowship and their Angel Tree Program so that a prisoner can give their child a gift this Christmas. If you ask God where and how to give, He will open up opportunities for you, I promise. If you have more than enough, like I'm guessing most of us do, find some way to serve someone with your abundance so that the love of money doesn't stand a chance of taking root in you.

Imagine looking into the window of your favorite clothing store and seeing the hottest new fashions lying there in a heap. You can't picture how they'd look on you the way you can when those stylish top and bottoms are put on a mannequin. That's what good storytelling does for facts, statistics, and otherwise dry information - it gives it good bones. It lets you connect with your listeners on a deeper level - something I hope we are doing here on the Unlovely Truth! We're going to focus on just one story for the entire month of December and it's a very appropriate one: The Santa Claus Bank Robbery by the late A.C. Greene, a prominent Texas journalist and author. Our guest today is Lawrence Yuen, host of The Myth Pilgrim podcast and he's going to talk with me about the power of story. The Myth Pilgrim is a Catholic podcast exploring how popular myths and fairytales can nourish your spiritual journey. Brother Lawrence Yuen explores theology alongside Disney, scripture alongside The Lord of the Rings, Saints alongside Star Wars … and so much more! Our Bible verse this week is Hosea 4:2 “You make vows and break them; you kill and steal and commit adultery. There is violence everywhere — one murder after another.” In chapter 4, Hosea is pointing out Israel's problems with immorality and idolatry. The people weren't following the ways of God, and the community was suffering because of it. The boundaries of good behavior were being trampled, and it led to more and more violence. Violence that culminated in murder. I've seen this as I've volunteered in a jail ministry. Once people get into a downward cycle, it can be hard to turn it around. We try to show them that there is another way, and that God can help them truly change their lives if they want to. It's a really rewarding way to volunteer, so that's our practical action step for this week. You can volunteer at your local jail or work center to give hope to people who really need it. And it's truly a way to be a Person of Impact in your community. From a very practical standpoint, we want people coming out of jail better equipped to handle life than they were when they went in.

Happy Holidays! In this episode, Danielle covers the Santa Claus Bank Robbery of 1927. On December 23, 1927, Marshall Ratliff borrowed a Santa Claus suit and along with three others robbed the First National Bank in Cisco, Texas. Ratliff thought dressing as Santa Claus was the perfect disguise, but it ended up drawing more attention to him. Unfortunately for Ratliff, the public wanted to get the $5000 reward that was placed on any bank robber's head. Luck was not on their side, and after a manhunt with multiple shoot-outs, the group was eventually caught. Later, Sandra talks about the legend of Krampus. This European legend is now known around the world. Krampus, a German legend is a half-goat, half-demon monster that punishes the children who misbehaved all year. Find out his relation to Santa Claus and how he has become a cultural phenomenon.

Christmas was a couple days away, so no one thought twice when they saw Santa Claus coming down the street. Unbeknownst to everyone, Santa and his 3 helpers were about to pull off a bank heist. Tune in to hear about the man hunt that followed and how the citizens eventually took it into their own hands.

The Santa Claus Bank Robbery occurred on December 23, 1927, in the Central Texas town of Cisco. Marshall Ratliff, dressed as Santa Claus, along with Henry Helms and Robert Hill, all ex-cons, and Louis Davis, a relative of Helms, held up the First National Bank in Cisco. The robbery is one of Texas' most infamous crimes, having invoked the largest manhunt ever seen in the state.[ Eyewitness Boyce House wrote that this was "the most spectacular crime in the history of the Southwest ... surpassing any in which Billy the Kid or the James boys had ever figured."

My guest, historian and author Tui Snider shares the wild story of the ill-fated Helms-Ratliff gang, who held up the First National Bank in Cisco, Texas on December 23rd, 1927. Eager to collect a $5000 "Dead Bank Robber Reward", townspeople converged on the bank, and during an intense gun battle the police chief, his deputy and one of the gang members were slain. Eventually Marshall Ratliff, who famously wore a Santa Claus suit to the botched robbery, would be lynched after murdering a jailer as he awaited execution.

It’s time for a remix! In honor of the holiday season, we are re-releasing last year’s ridiculously fun holiday episode. But we’ve added some new stuff, too! There’s a new set of holiday-themed questions at the end, plus SUPREME COURT inductions. Plus: Someone’s mom bought them a SUPREME COURT induction for Christmas. Was it your mom? Listen to find out! Around the holidays, a lot of people bake cookies for their neighbors. It’s supposed to be a nice, friendly gesture. But boy, can it backfire! Teenagers Taylor Ostergaard and Lindsey Zellitti learned that lesson the hard way when they anonymously left a plate of cookies at Wanita Young’s house. Their late night cookie drop scared the crap out of Wanita. She was so shaken that she went to the hospital the next day, suffering from what appeared to be a heart attack. Then Brandi tells us about the time Santa robbed a bank. The robbery took place on December 23, 1927, in Cisco, Texas. A man dressed as Santa Claus entered First National Bank. His armed accomplices followed. Together, the men terrorized the customers and emptied the bank’s safe. Afterward, Santa and his gang took off. What followed was the largest manhunt Texas has ever seen.   And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: The book, “The Party of the First Part: The Curious World of Legalese,” by Adam Freedman “Family says they are under attack in cookie caper,” Associated Press “Nation rallies around girls sued by neighbor over late-night cookies,” East Bay Times “Teens sued for cookie delivery to neighbor,” ABC News In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “The Santa Claus Bank Robbery” by Boyce House, Startling Detective Adventures “The Night the Posse Chased Santa Claus” by Maggie Van Ostrand, TexasEscapes.com “Santa Claus Bank Robbery” by Walter F. Pilcher, Texas State Historical Association “Santa Claus Bank Robbery” wikipedia.org

Santa brings joy to millions of children across the globe BUT some Santa imposters can wreak havoc! As we release this it is 92nd anniversary of a Christmas Eve bank robbery pulled off by a Jolly Ol' St. Nick with some little helpers. Did they make it all the way back to the north pole with the loot or were they bagged and tagged? We talk about that and some of other instances of Santa behaving badly on this special, holiday themed edition.

But for one Texas town in the 1920's, the arrival of Santa meant fear, robbery... and even blood.

The plan to rob the bank was a simple one - go in, steal the cash, hurt no one and escape via the getaway car parked strategically in an alley. It should have been an easy job. But for Marshall Ratliff and his three accomplices, a shot through a window caused complications that would turn their easy plan into a complicated mess that took many lives and would become a legendary story in West Texas. 

Around the holidays, a lot of people bake cookies for their neighbors. It’s supposed to be a nice, friendly gesture. But boy, can it backfire! Teenagers Taylor Ostergaard and Lindsey Zellitti learned that lesson the hard way when they anonymously left a plate of cookies at Wanita Young’s house. Their late night cookie drop scared the crap out of Wanita. She was so shaken that she went to the hospital the next day, suffering from what appeared to be a heart attack. Then Brandi tells us about the time Santa robbed a bank. The robbery took place on December 23, 1927, in Cisco, Texas. A man dressed as Santa Claus entered First National Bank. His armed accomplices followed. Together, the men terrorized the customers and emptied the bank’s safe. Afterward, Santa and his gang took off. What followed was the largest manhunt Texas has ever seen.   And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: The book, “The Party of the First Part: The Curious World of Legalese,” by Adam Freedman “Family says they are under attack in cookie caper,” Associated Press “Nation rallies around girls sued by neighbor over late-night cookies,” East Bay Times “Teens sued for cookie delivery to neighbor,” ABC News In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “The Santa Claus Bank Robbery” by Boyce House, Startling Detective Adventures “The Night the Posse Chased Santa Claus” by Maggie Van Ostrand, TexasEscapes.com “Santa Claus Bank Robbery” by Walter F.
