You mean like Arlington Alerts? That could have been a way for police to broadcast information after the first bank called, but no crime actually occurred, so….

Nothing more than front line re-distribution. No need to worry until you are the target for re-distribution

Claire, the part I think you don’t understand is the role of Police. The mandate of the Police Department in Arlington, and in fact every county across the country, is not to prevent crime. In fact, there is a supreme court ruling on this very subject – the Police are under no obligation to prevent any sort of crime. Their job is purely to investigate after the crime has already occurred, and attempt to apprehend the suspects.

In fact, they have no legal liability whatsoever for the prevention of crime. You have no legal right to recover any sort of restitution from the police department for failing to respond to an incident, or failing to prevent a crime.

This is why self-defense rights and the 2nd amendment are so very important. It’s the only thing we’ve got to defend ourselves against criminals.

You’ve moved up from your $10/hr job because you are intelligent enough to understand the risk/reward for robbing a bank isn’t even close. Believe me, I’m not defending these two-bit bank robbers, but they probably REALLY think it’s worth it.

I guess it’s time we invested in the Matress Savings and Loan

Some Christians are just as ignorant about their own history as others are. The world’s full of people getting angry about stuff that doesn’t even exist.

The Fairfax County school system should be praised for taking me on a bank field-trip in elementary school to know that you’re probably going to be on-camera, they give you a dye-packet, and you’ll probably get locked up.

Hopefully they get caught, and we can find out which school system failed.

I’ve made/lived on $10 an hour. I still think the risks outweigh the reward in this case. If they were the same guys as the earlier article, that’s at least 3 guys to split it between.

There is probably more profit to be made in robbing something else, considering the likelihood you’ll get caught anyway.

We coule put one next to every Starbucks in Arlington, and we’d be all set.
