Default MSNBC Bank Robbery Report.

I was just watching MSNBC and saw a quick report on some new steps banks are taking to make bank robberies less successful. Are you guys ready to read this? I'm just as excited to tell you.

Banks all around the nation are posting prohibited signs at the front entrance. Whats on these prohibited signs? Well, images of sunglasses, hooded jackets, and low brimmed hats, which can be used to mask a bank robbers identity. All of which have that cool red circle with the slash through it, to let you know its not allowed.


They believe, when bank robbers see these signs, that they will say, "oh shit, I can't wear a mask, now I can't rob this bank"

Now my question to you friends? WTF>?>?>?

Same flaw as believing gun control prevents crime...

You are surprised by this?

Welcome to America..... The idiocracy come true.

Even bank robbers are forced to forfeit their rights nowadays. First it was security cameras, then bursting dye packs. Now they have to give up the sunglasses, masks and the baseball caps?=0. Wait 'til the ACLU gets wind of this one! =). I woudn't be surprised if they try to defend these oppresive measures. =)

I see this as a direct attack on the soccer moms of the country. How will most survive without their "stunner" glasses in their hair.

Wife works at a bank where they started this sh*t. This past summer while riding my motorcycle I decided to stop and see if she wanted to goto lunch together. I parked right out front and walked in with my helmet on. you should have seen the looks I got when I walked in.

Me: "What's the problem" after I took off my helmet.
Employee: "We thought we were getting robbed"
Employee: "Didn't you see the sign on the door?"
Me: "Sure but do you think a robber is going to comply with that stupid sign?"

After about 5 minutes of people looking stupid I said,

"It's against the law to rob a bank and they do it anyway. Do you think a little old sign telling them they need to take off their hats is going to change this?"

More puzzled faces. Sheep I tell ya!

Oh, I too always carry in the banks.

You just figured it out!

They need to put a sign on the front door saying that robbing banks is illegal!

That will stop it for sure!
