Don't feel to bad Mass has it's share of idiots as well, although ignoring your calendar isn't fatal.
http://www.bostonherald.com/news/regional/view.bg?articleid=1061166302&srvc=rssChicago has the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, and yesterday East Boston nearly had the Columbus Day Bank Robbery.
Except, of course, banks are closed in Massachusetts on Columbus Day.
Unfortunately for Carlos Leger, 39, the devil is in the details and the police are right on his tail. Leger is expected to be arraigned today on a single count of attempted unarmed robbery, police said.
“Give Me All The Money,” a note seized by police said. “No Dye Pack.”
The accused robber missed just two things: the date and the police officer passing by in Maverick Square who saw the sunglasses, hat and blue latex gloves as the man pulled on the bank door yesterday about 9 a.m., police said.
Unlike Leger, the officer knew it was a holiday.
“The suspect stated he did not attempt to go in the bank,” a police report said. “Officer observed the suspect had another latex glove attached to his left hand.” The man tried to get away, police said; they found a tan pillow case and the note in his front pocket.
