Don’t know how I missed this one, right here in Texas. Apparently, some choirboy decided that all he needed to rob a bank was a knife, and indeed, it kinda was. All was going to plan, except that one of the bank’s customers didn’t think that this little wealth redistribution plan was acceptable, drew his trusty carry piece and shot the fucker dead.
Lesson learned: Using a knife to rob a bank: not the best instrument, at least in a state where customers are likely armed with guns and have a proper sense of right and wrong.
(Thanks to Reader Brad, who sent this news to me from his private fortress in deep-blue Illinois — where an action such as the above would have landed Our Hero in deep trouble.)
