I had just finished completing a deposit and was exiting my neighborhood bank today when a masked gunman forced his way in and robbed the tellers and a customer with a fist full of dollars. Scary stuff but fortunately no one was injured. The teller who had the gun at her head was on her very first day on the job. She was understandably upset and I spoke with her dad after being interviewed by detectives. I hope she is ok mentally after this ordeal. What a world we live in.

Wow.
Glad no one got hurt. And glad you were done with business before this happened.

Holy sh#$% settersbrace ... glad it wasn't any worse than it was!!
Unfortunately, I feel we will be seeing more and more desperation as our society goes through

this very rough period in time.
So glad that nobody got hurt this time. :crazy:

That's great to hear that nobody got her, but man, that's really intense. It's amazing how in this day and age, folks can still just rob a bank just like that.

Poor girl first day on the job. Sad thing is she will probably be a prime suspect. Too bad someone didn't save the day. POS!

That poor teller.
Having had a gun in my face about 30 years ago, I can tell you that is a hard experience to get over.
Very glad no one was hurt.

Scary at best. Glad everyone is ok, tough going for the young lady - she'll never forget her first day at work!

It seems like a day doesn't go by without this happening everywhere. Happy to here that all are well but it's a scary thing to endure.

I'm armed 90% of the time. Today I got lazy because it was hot. I don't know if it would have made a difference one way or the other but in this particular case, I'm glad I was unarmed. I will never be caught like that again though. I watched this clown fuss around outside the bank and had a pretty good feeling as to what was about to go down. The dye pack blew up on him so he will eventually get caught. He dropped most of the cash and if he's lucky he got $50. POS is right.

The young lady was badly shaken and it pray that she's able to move past it all. After speaking with her dad it would appear it was her first and last day working for that institution or any like it.

I too hope she can get past it. I am sure she will. My mother was a bank manager and spent her whole career in the bank. She was robbed so many times we often joked that bandits followed her as she transferred branches.

I don't know which is worse; the guys robbing the bank downstairs or the ones robbing us upstairs.

Heavy! Hope that useless piece of sh't gets what's comin'.
Time to smoke a pipe and calm the nerves.
Good to hear it was only the nerves that were shaken.
Best to all those involved except the perp.

'Glad no one was hurt, the teller or you. Your timing was lucky, to be out of the bank. I'm always a little

wary, at the bank or at a store with the armored car outside.

So glad all turned out well. It wasn't the case here in Tupelo, MS a few months ago. Two of our officers were shot and one died at the scene. The other officer was severely injured but is in full recovery process. The bank robber was later killed in a gunfight when trying to rob a bank in Phoenix, AZ.

Times are tough. I'm afraid it's only gonna get worse. Watch your sixes.
