I think we're going to be seeing a lot more of this unfortunately.

Until the 'thug' lifestyle is considered 'uncool', we will have more of this.

My advice....harsher penalties including immeadiate death. Just saying...

Why didn't the bank just have a no weapons policy? Seems like poor sticker placement to me.

I especially liked this one (in response to being around armed bankrobbers)

“They’re going to catch them,” she said, adding that she was not afraid. “I’ve got Jesus on my side.

Uh.... the "thug lifestyle" has been "cool" for portions of USian society since the at least the old west, updated during Prohibition, and has always been an undercurrent in our culture.

I think the other post referred to the more recent economic downturn. Big economic crises tend to show an increase in crimes like this, as I understand it.

My point is that God provides for those who provide for themselves.

As if black men are the only ones who rob banks... Come on, people. This isn't about "thug culture".

What's that supposed to mean?

The first has nothing to do with the third but but the third has to do with the second.

Chapter & verse?

I just don't see the humor of someone standing on their faith and not afraid to say it.

Nuff said my friend. Not going to thread jack.

I hate drive throughs, and ATM's. I use them occasionally, but with great caution.

You know how in the "thug" lifestyle, they always sag their pants/shorts? That actually started in prison, as a signal to other MALES that you were "available"

I honestly don't think the "thugs" know that.

I stand corrected. Thank you for informing me.

Situational awareness.

I use drive throughs and ATMs but usually only in daylight and always in this configuration.

Just take my Broncos to the super bowl this year, Mr. Tebow, and all's well.

BTW, the area where this robbery took place is a relatively nice area. 25th and Poplar is well-traveled, would not be considered a 'bad' part of town... I'd have no worries walking there after dark unarmed. Old people use a mall about 100 yards away as a place to walk. Just goes to show you.

I've heard of driving gloves...but not driving slippers.
