I like the way the woman teller got her one kick in.
BUMP
yes, ex-customer soon, the bank will sue him/sarc
People are getting tired of taking shit lying down and are beginning to fight back. Good on him.
Good to see a happy ending, though the customer was fortunate that the perp wasn’t stronger or faster than him.
The bank needs to give the customer a medal or something! What he did took testicular fortitude, something that is found lacking in today’s society!
That looks mighty racist to me.
That woman teller was the hero's wife. He was in the bank waiting to take her home from work.
The nerve! This customer broke protocol! You are supposed to just stay put and huddle together to make the clean up as neat and orderly as possible for the Coroner and crew!
/end sarc
I feel a movie coming on... “The Last of the Americans.”
Looks like a former wrestler to me. Notice how he throws his legs out to keep the perp from rolling him off?
The teller who is being robbed is a real wimp.
Notice that when the customer tackles the robber, the teller ducks down behind the counter and doesn’t come out until the perp has been subdued.
Kudos for the wife who gets a good kick in and backs up her husband.
“I like the way the woman teller got her one kick in.”
Would have been nicer is she was carrying and got off one roaund instead from her Glock.
The bank and the insurance co could give a rats a$$!!!!!!! They would rather let the robber get away. It is just part of business.
Yep...definitely an athletic move. Prolly played football and wrestled...linebacker would be my guess.
Hey blam, was that you?
Boy things have changed since 9/11. And they continue to change as people act to protect those around them and do the right thing.
Nah...that's too much exercise. Shootin's more my style.
