In February, you may recall, 34-year-old Henry Clay Glaspell walked into federal court in Fort Worth and admitted: He was the man who, on July 25, 2010, set fire to the playground equipment and spray-painted “explicit images” and “obscene anti-Muslim graffiti” in the parking lot at the Dar El-Eman Islamic…

Back in July we were first introduced to the “Handsome Guy” Bandit — so called not because he’s attractive, because who can tell, but because of the $800 mask he’s clearly wearing in all the surveillance-cam photos taken of the bank robber during his various stick-em-ups in North Texas. And,…
