Authorities say a homeless man robbed a Tampa bank, fled on a city bus and handed out stolen cash to passengers.
Hillsborough County Sheriff's deputies say 27-year-old Elmer McGuirt handed a note demanding money to a Wachovia Bank teller about 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
Witnesses told deputies he then got on the bus and started handing out money, keeping some of the cash for himself.
The sheriff's office contacted the bus driver, who stopped the bus and pretended to have mechanical failure. Deputies arrested McGuirt and were also able to get some of the money back from passengers.
McQuirt now faces robbery charges. He is in the Hillsborough County Jail.
Awwww...The man just want to see what it felt like to have a government job.
The Depression-era bank robbers like John Dillinger, Baby-Face Nelson, Bonnie & Clyde, and Pretty Boy Floyd were known for driving through “Hoovervilles” and throwing out some of the loot.
Floyd always scooped up the mortgage paper from the banks he hit and burned them. Many people suddenly ended up with free farms.
Ziiiiiing!!!!
Well, he learned one lesson: If you want to rob and steal and not go to jail, become a politican.
Undocumented withdrawal.
No wonder why these criminals were actually very popular with the working class hard scrabble types
The Obama Bandit.
Did the bank charge the passengers interest?
Fact is the banksters need that money and your trillions in bail outs badly!
Maybe he’s gonna run for president. He is obviously qualified now.
Wachovia just wrote a $160 million check to the Feds for laundering billions for Mexican drug cartels......everyone involved is still at their desk:

If you want to be robbing hood, your supposed to be robbing the tax collector (government)

I wonder if anyone will visit “Robin Hood” while he’s in prison—or at least even send him a card for the next 40 Christmases?
“Wachovia just wrote a $160 million check to the Feds for laundering billions for Mexican drug cartels......everyone involved is still at their desk”
Yep...and how much did they get to keep? Not one in jail yet—but I’m sure that’s coming. LOL!
This reminds me of OHenry’s short story “The Cop and the Anthem”. The man obviously needed a place to sleep.
Not much difference between the banksters and the revenuers anymore
