Another Failed Robbery Attempt, This Countries Criminals Suck

Sadly, this is pretty much all banks need for security these days

CRANSTON, R.I. — A would-be bank robber was foiled after a teller shut the security door and told him the bank was closing.  Cranston police told The Providence Journal that it happened Thursday around 7 p.m., closing time at a Citizens Bank counter inside a grocery store. Major Robert W. Ryan says the man gave the teller a note written on a ripped paper plate that said, "This is a robbery." The teller put down the security curtain, told the man the branch was closing and closed the security screen door. Ryan says the man walked quickly away, empty-handed. Police are looking for the man.

Honestly? "We're closing" and you just give up? That's weak bro.  Are robbers still not reading my blogs? I've laid out the playbook a few times now, this shit is not hard. Walk in, flash the gun, get the money. Plain and simple.  It's a frigen bank dude, they don't run out of money just because the minimum wage teller tells you they're closing.  

And here's another message to all would be robbers, stop watching Hollywood movies. No one passes notes in the real world.  Way to give the guy a heads up that you're about to rob him.  If you're going to to go that route you have to go guns blazing. Make the kid behind the counter piss his pants so he can't pull the security curtain.  Otherwise be a man and tell the guy what you want. It doesn't make it any less of a felony just because you scribbled it on paper. If anything you're just going to be laughed at now when you get arraigned in court for acting like a big shot movie star when in reality a curtain and a screen door were enough to prevent you from robbing a bank.  Real weak bro.
