Pay attention to the ends as the video is of two different camera angles.

It's one of the easiest crimes to get away with, tellers ususally don't resist.  Very low conviction rate.

If you thought the guy was going to shoot someone, good move. If not, idiot! That money is insured, let it go. Back in the pre New Deal days before the FDIC and when every cent of yours and your neighbor's life savings were on the line I'd give a different answer. Today, let the cops and the FBI handle it.

I do understand but part of me thinks anytime you can put the boot to a bad guys skull you should  take it.
Where do you draw the line?
It's not my car?
It's not my house?
It's not my kid?
It is my tax money insuring the account. He's stealing from me. He's stealing from you.

The FBI?? Ask any local cop about the FEEBEE response to bank robberies. They don't even show up anymore most of the time. They are catching terrorists don't you know!

the FBI also says the average take is only $1700 and change.... thats not alot of money for the 10 years it will cost you in club fed.

whats funny is you could rob a bank, get out, rob a bank again, get out, rob a bank again, get out... if you rob a post office, you would still spend another 5 years in jail.  min for bank robbery is 10 years, its 35 for robbing a post office.

Pretty good rant. But, my view is I will risk life and limb, and legal jeoprdy to protect an innocent, my self or my livelihood. The rest of it is just stuff. I'm not going to kill, die or go to jail over bank money that's fully insured. As far as catching the guy, that's why we have cops.
