Elderly Woman Tries to Rob Pocatello Bank in an Act of Desperation
12/16/04

http://www.localnews8.com/news/local/1150642.html


An elderly woman is in custody after she used her walker to try and rob a Pocatello bank.

...

Kristie Olsen, security officer, says, “It took her several minutes to get from the door to the desk.”

...

Tammie Barbre, customer service supervisor, says, “I was kind of dumbfounded. I wasn’t, ah…you could feel her desperation.”

The woman later told police she was poor because of several recent medical bills.

The non-emergency phone call went something like this, “We do not feel threatened but this is the situation. She is insisting that we call.” And the dispatch asked her, “What?”

4. Perhaps if the govt would spend
$200 billion or so on taking on the people it represents...instead of taking that money and using it for an ILLEGAL war...

and maybe pressure the pharmacutical companies to lower their prices...

People wouldn't bame Bush*

But that's me...
