Quote: Police captured a man accused of robbing a bank today in Milton after the suspect attempted a not-so-subtle escape. The man sped away from the Citizens Bank branch on a bright red Vespa wearing a matching bright red helmet. That gave me a good laugh |

![]() I wonder how many cc's his 'Vespa' had, that he couldn't outrun the police and make his getaway? ![]() Give the propensity of the media to get it wrong and lump things together under all one category, I wonder if it really was a "Vespa"? -Cause this sounds like something a Chinese clone rider would do; Vespa riders would NEVAH wear a matching helmet! (-Would they....?) ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Loved this comment:
Quote: 8. I'm just currious... as long as you don't threaten to shoot the teller, it's not considered armed robbery? I wonder how much time gets knocked off of somebody's sentence if they don't use a gun. Crook: I don't have a gun - give me money now, or else. Teller: No. (activating silent alarm) Crook: GIVE ME MONEY! Teller: .....No. Crook: Please? Teller: No. Crook: KTHXBYE. |
RIP

From the Portland story: "The man was arrested on suspicion of felony eluding and...."
Felony eluding? I know what it means, I just never heard that there were different levels to the eluding an officer change. Let's see: Misdemeaner eluding: You dodge behind a tree or around a corner. Felony eluding: You make really stupid moves in traffic that might get someone hurt. First degree eluding: Someone does get hurt or the video of the pursuit ends up on one of those police chase shows where they refer to you as "the scofflaw scooterist." Something like that? |
