Robbing a bank is a drastic way to get away from your wife.

A Kansas man who robbed a bank last September and told police that he was hoping to get caught so he would get prison time to escape his wife, was sentenced Tuesday to six months of home confinement after pleading guilty, The Kansas City Star reported.

Lawrence John Ripple took the guilty plea in January. He told the judge on Tuesday that he had heart surgery that left him depressed when he committed the bank robbery, the paper reported.

His public defender told the court that ripple had lived a law-abiding life and was in a stable relationship with his wife. He has four step children, the report said.

Ripple handed a note to a bank teller in Kansas City, demanding cash and warning he had a gun. Ripple took the money0-- $2,924-- and went to sit in the lobby where he told a guard he was the “guy he was looking for.”

Officers arrived quickly. An FBI agent wrote in the affidavit that Ripple had earlier been arguing with his wife. He told investigators he wrote the note in front of his wife, telling her he would “rather be in jail than at home.”

So the next time he is in the papers, he will have killed his wife and step kids.

Honestly, if I was the wife, I wouldn't be there.

I will say this, and I've said it before, cardiac patients NEED mental health care.

I was depressed and angry after my heart attacks.

I've known others who have been depressed after heart complications.


I really do believe there is a direct correlation.

I think that could be the case for anyone with any serious illness, lily.

Probably.

But with most other serious illness, there are mind and body support.

It seems that with heart issues, there is no mental health support.

I never thought about that Lily but a coworker of mine had a heart attack and heart surgery and he's been battling depression every since. I wonder why that is?

 I know for my dad it was tough being that aware of his mortality. And during the recovery, he basically just had to sit around. And he was tired all the time. For someone who usually jumped out of bed at 6am everyday without setting an alarm, it was a big switch to not feeling up to getting up until noon.

I think the realizing you really won't live forever is only part of it.

With a heart attack, there are enzymes in your heart that isn't normally in the rest of the blood stream.

It throws the chemical balance off.

And then there's the medicine.

The Judge showed great mercy on him. Both my dad and father in law were depressed and cranky after their open heart surgeries. He was obviously not in his right frame of mind at the time he tried to rob the bank.
