Further evidence of the pussification of America. There was a time where this guy would have been promoted.

100 times out of 100, if some dirt bag crackhead says "I've got a gun" then that means he doesn't. If a robber actually has a gun, then he's gonna have it out from the get go and that is a totally different situation.

We had an incident a couple of weeks ago where some drug addict ****er tried to rob a pharmacy. He actually had a gun, but the lady behind the counter had one, too, and she plugged him. He screamed, "You crazy *****, you actually shot me" and ran outside. The cops got him laying in the parking lot.

Yeah. I'm tired of the pussification of America. Guns for everyone, please.

If you're robbing a bank, I'm gonna guess waiting in line with your checkbook, deposit slip and gun is going to draw a few stares from other customers.

I just have to say, I'm glad Batman weighed in on this thread.
 
Stupid and yes, he deserved to be sacked.

Another Walter Mitty.
 
If I'm opening a bank, these are my first three hires...

To catch them before they run out the door.

Why hire Norris when Tebow might be available?

I don't know. That's an all-star lineup Rumple has picked out. Maybe even a Hall of Fame lineup.

A teller I know was in a robbery late last year. She handed over the money without the dyepack at the request of the robber. He got away.

Not a well-designed crime prevention technique.

According to Kramer, the bank can just write off the loss.
