wow, what nerve to rob a branch at gunpoint in mid-day.
scary
people are getting desperate, care to the wind, as they say.
Where is bank security? His gun is phony by the way. Bank robbery is just way too easy out here.
When was the last time you saw an armed bank security guard?
Bottom line: it’s much cheaper for the bank and less risky for innocent customers to let the miscreant leave the premises and go on his merry way. It’s a better than 90% chance he’ll be apprehended later anyway.
That’s a mean disguise. Would never have guessed he would rob the bank. Just a monitor.
I thought you must remove all hats and sunglasses when entering the bank?
Ever see an employee at the threshold to a bank try to enforce a dress code? I haven’t.
Hmmm so SA names Kalihi when its N King and Iwelei but its closer to the China town/down town are. But won’t say McCully or Moiliili when it’s S King… Guess they don’t like the Kalihi area…
I guess he wass a Packers fan or a Steelers fan….
