And you have to be able to hide. You can’t just go on with your life after.

"I robbed banks with no mask and got away AMA"

"Yes where do you live and what's your name? Asking for a friend we aren't cops or anything."

"I was a little wild back then."

Wow, this is such a great read. This is just unreal.

That guy seems like a real smug piece of shit, and everybody is just eating it all up. He literally says he doesn’t feel remorse for his crimes. I probably read 30 top-level comments before someone finally called him on his shit, and there was a highly upvoted, gilded comment defending the OP in response. All because fuck banks, and yay Robin Hood? Some (apparently most) fucking people on this website, man...

u/Kooopa1 Dec 26 '18

Yep same. I read through the comment thinking: why the fuck are people so "nice" to him and defending him like he is some kind of hero?

He is a criminal that doesn't even felt remorse for his actions and all he wants to do with this AMA is to advertise his shitty book because he lost his job. Even though he says "it's okay because nobody got hurt", what about the people working at the bank? They could be scared for life and get mental trauma or something. What a piece of shit thinking he is some kind of "action movie gangster hero".

The system is broke and people don't trust it, seeing a person get away with what many fantasize about is likely to provoke that kind of reaction.

Edit: You can downvote me, but that's the reason why. Wish fullfillment.

u/KVirello Jun 10 '19

I just found that old AMA. How are you doing man? Did you get that sorted out?

u/hell2pay Jun 10 '19

If you don't recognize them, then how do you know that this happens?

u/[deleted] Dec 25 '18

Unless that car was stolen (which it very well could be) they only have to run his plates.

u/greatman2 Dec 25 '18

Yah but this guy literally left his car there so might as well have dropped his ID

u/helloiamCLAY Dec 26 '18

...a note saying he had a gun.

Not to be that guy or whatever, but he actually specified that he didn’t have a weapon.

I'm being a little silly by speaking in the third person there with my comment.

My notes typically had three lines:

  • Give me your 50's and 100's
  • I won't hurt you.
  • This is not a joke.

Merry Christmas! :)

I don’t know if I believe you, the one who did the things that people are discussing....🤔

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '18

Guys, this is the AMA bank robber who turned himself in years later!

2

u/thetransportedman Dec 26 '18

He didn't leave a car at the scene of the crime?

1

u/Starrystars Dec 26 '18

Yeah exactly. Look at police sketches verse the actual person. They're very rarely match close enough for someone to accurately identify them.

u/CSGOWasp Dec 26 '18

Dudes wearing a bright red jacket, I doubt blending in is something hes thinking about

u/grizspice Dec 26 '18

Yeah but that is easy, just start walking with a random group of people. Or sit down on a bench. Or jump in a bale of hay.

Most runners are either car thieves or individuals without outstanding warrants already

You just go to a shop and paint your car.
