Bank robbery in downtown Fort Worth

[MeanGreenTexan]

OK...but how would you feel if you, a CHL holder, had the chance to stop a robbery and due to your irrational self-confidence attempted to...only to quickly discover when you shot 4 times and missed embarrassingly on each attempt that your CHL training was woefully inadequate, especially in high-stress situations...and now the robber, disgruntled former special-ops military, has shot you in the leg and disarmed you...an act that triggers a PTSD-break causing him to then, mumbling something about Obama and the liberal Hollywood agenda in American Sniper, kill not just the clerk, but every other person in the bank...save for you.

You, wounded and in more pain, both physical and emotional, than you've ever felt in your entire life, he takes hostage...and to elude authorities he takes you to the Super Pit, let's say on November 27, 2015...and there just happens to be a women's basketball game that evening that you're now forced to sit through...the whole game...it finishes with a score of 25-21. And as the man-hunt continues into the next day, the entire town of Denton essentially on lock-down...it's decided that the final football game of the year should be moved from Apogee down to the UTA football stadium, effectively giving UNT a 4 game home schedule.

all because you tried to be a hero.

pray that you never find yourself in such a situation.

Did you just reveal the new plot for 'Taken 4'?

Can't wait to see this. With the setting at UNT, it's sure to take over 'Necessary Roughness' as most celebrated movie ever shot here.

Hope Sinbad has a role.

Did they ever catch this dude? I remember seeing this and thinking "man how dumb is it to rob a bank right in the middle of downtown," but apparently it worked so what do I know.

I think he kidnapped his ex-girlfriend, who then pulled into a gas station and bailed out of the car and ran (a move that no doubt will be immediately discouraged by 66 ;-).

The police then arrested him. He was even bright enough to give a jailhouse interview and talk about how he got away from police at the robbery scene:

So it was an air soft pistol and no one was injured... Thank god no one judged it their moral obligation to take matters into their own hands and "save" the lives of those who could have suffered a nasty whelp at the hands of this maniac's gun.

Or the genius robber could have been put up for a Darwin Award.

Let's not forget the one who committed the bad act here.

Cause no one has ever been harmed in any way by someone using a real looking fake gun before. Right? I'll never understand the liberal mind and I worry about some of you who think this way.

I have a very close friend of mine from High School, in fact PKC90 and rcade both know her,....anyways, she was working late at a dance and dress shop on 8th Avenue late one night back in the 80's and was forced to the back room by a guy who walked in with a gun, locked the front door behind and forced her to the back room where he beat and raped her till she passed out. He didn't steal a thing from the store, just her innocence and dignity and ever knowing a life without fear and traumatic recovery. Once time had passed and we had time to spend together I asked how she was doing and she wanted to share the whole incident with me. Eventually the gun came up and I recall asking her if she knew what kind of gun he had and she said she had no idea, she just wanted to get thru it without being killed and did what he asked. She said all she could think about was her mom and what she would think if she was told her daughter had been murdered.

As for the sack of shit with the real/fake gun who did this to her, he was never found

Ah, the old Monday morning quarterback. Didnt I see you on CNN saying police should aim for an arm or leg when using deadly force?

So so so dumb.

The link I posted earlier where the citizen shot the robber? Real gun.

And then there are these:

I could go on and on. Banking on the gun being fake is stupid to the nth degree. But I think you know that.
