You mean this bank is not a gun-safe zone?

Just one armed teacher, one armed movie patron, one armed postal worker and there would be far less carnage and fewer incidents.

I don’t know about you, but I always top off my gas tank *before* I rob a bank. He drove 6 and a half miles and bought gas?

He is definitely in the running for a Darwin Award, if he gets another chance.

I guess in Obama’s economy he could not afford it until after.

Easy, it was a stolen car and he didn’t want to waste any more money on gas than it would take to get to his ‘stash’ vehicle.

He just miscalculated.

If he had a shotgun he could have fired 2 shots in the air and the bank patrons would have ‘froze’.

Of course if he didn’t calculate on the ceiling raining down on him that could be just as futile as shooting through the vault door.

I am glad we have a VP that gives such handy advice.

This has all the hallmarks of the work of Professor Moriarty. Only a criminal mastermind could have conceived or attempted to execute such as diabolic and clever plan! Quick Watson, the game’s afoot!

Our VP is a lawyer and probably much smarter than either of us. Now, if I discharged a shotgun into a door, I would be lucky not to be seriously injured by ricocheting shot and debris. But not Joe Biden. Why doesn’t he remind us that if someone threatens you with a shotgun, just plug it with your widdle finga and blam! the shooter’s face will be blackened with no consequences to you.

“Why doesn’t he remind us that if someone threatens you with a shotgun, just plug it with your widdle finga and blam! the shooter’s face will be blackened with no consequences to you.”

The robber’s face will then spin around to the back of his head. He will slowly reach up and drag it back around and tell you that you’re “dethpicable.”

Foster said. "... I suppose he didn't have an assault weapon, but I'm sure glad they caught him."

By definition, the robber DID have an assault weapon; the hero bank customer had a save-the-day weapon.

If he calls me “dethpicable”, I’ll sue for slander!

I am sure I missed the ‘sarc’ tag here BUT, we all know book smarts have absolutely nothing to do with being ‘smart’ in the ways of the world.
Biden was ‘smart’ enough to avoid joining the Military.
Of course, if he knew ANYTHING about weapons, he never would have made those two utterly ridiculous remarks.

OH YES, before you ‘lurkers and D apologists’ feel it necessary to ‘remind’ me of Cheney’s deferments, I had the same feelings of contempt for him ESPECIALLY after making a statement — to the effect — ‘I had better things to do than go to VN or join the Army’

Please. Please. Is any sarcasm tag ever necessary when talking about sloe gin Biden? Some background: (Warning: more irritating than listening to fingernails on a blackboard.)

Almost every statement in his response is a lie, with the possible exception of the name of his law school.

Shooters with two arms generally find it easier to hit the target.

How horrible.
I’m sure this poor bank robber was just getting his life turned around.
He was making a rap album.
Went to church with his grandma once.

Now this...

The robber did not have any cash handy to buy gas Before the robbery.

When Ohio passed CCW,the lady at my credit union put that asinine sign on the door ,saying “I feel safer now!” ????

Oh,yes,...the credit union was robbed one afternoon last year.

Do you suppose bank robbers don’t care about the laws?!
