1. Does Cheney have an alibi?
Wouldn't be the first time he'd robbed a bank.

15. No doubt the "skinheads" or "anarchist militia" had it planned all along.
Robbing banks is their forte. Watch for some weapons suppliers to be held up next.

4. No. 1- It seemed like every cop in town
was down there and No. 2- there has been a rash of bank robberies here lately. According to police, they all seem to be connected somehow.

that is the best place and time to do it. Don't you think?

16. While the FBI, Homeland Security and riot squads along with the
local Police Department are keeping the protesters at bay, in the free speech zone the local banks are robbed. Ya gotta love it!

Maybe it was binny and the boys?

19. Three banks at once is pretty anti-social
This was obviously a coordinated gang robery.


(Heavy Sarcasm) Wow, the authorities have gotten really good at capturing groups like this in the last few years. All these new Civil Liberty robbing actions are having a wonderful effect in increasing security and protecting the public against this type of crime.


(Sarcam very off)

Its a good thing that all these guys wanted was money, if they had wanted to kill large groups of people instead, the consequences are all to thinkable.

23. even more funny, in a macabre way
was the cop who destroyed his squad car in an accident while responding to the 3rd robbery. One more insult on a particularly lousy day. While, I'm glad he wasn't hurt - the whole situation is mildly and morbidly comical.

Secret Service everywhere, every policeman in town and the county there, overtime galore - Bam, three bank robberies because the police would not be concentrating on typical patrolling.
