Two Teen girls rob bank in Ohio

They are calling them the baby faced robbers.

Police in Ohio are searching for two brazen girls, believed to be as young as 12 and 14, who robbed a bank in a Cincinnati suburb and escaped a police dragnet that included a helicopter and dogs.

The baby faced bank robbers, one believed to be 12 years old and the other 14 or 15, entered the 1st National Bank in Symmes Township, "walked up to the bank teller, and gave the teller a note demanding money," Steve Barnett, spokesman for the Hamilton County Sherriff's Office, said in a statement.

Neither of the girls carried a weapon, but "the teller gave the suspects an undetermined amount of U.S. currency," according to Barnett.

The bank was robbed at 3:19 p.m. There was one teller, but no customers in the bank at time. No one was injured. The girls were last seen fleeing in a easterly direction from the bank.

The girls weren't taller than five foot four. Talk about an easy robbery. Didn't they have to fill out a withdrawal slip at least to get the cash? Things just keep getting weirder and weirder.

It's out of control.

Robbery's, murders, it's starting to go epidemic.

Crime is still significantly below its early 90's peak. Information about crime spreads quickly and thoroughly these days though so we hear about a lot more, but the amount of actual criminal acts isn't becoming an epidemic.

Crime rates are not rising. I doubt they're even staying stable.

Perhaps you should break your addiction to local news.

ownership rate has been rising at the same time.

...has been falling, too.

I can go toe-to-toe with you using post hoc ergo propter hoc arguments, but neither of us would prove a thing doing it that way, would we?

... that countries that have private firearm ownership (legal and illegal) have higher incidences of murder per capita than those that don't allow private firearms or that have restricted access to them.

I know Switzerland will be used to counter that statement (it always is by gun nutters) so let's just preempt that argument first strike style:

From your link
"Although firearm numbers in Switzerland are similar to other countries, its gun death rate is high, a consequence of its elevated suicide rate."
I don't feel that suicides should be included, if someone is going to commit suicide they will find a way. Look at Japan for instance their suicide rate with firearms is very low but suicide rates in general are very high.

Also they comment that they have to have the ammo in a sealed can and the issued weapon must be unloaded, yes they are required to keep the issued ammo sealed, but they can get more from the military for target practice or purchase it that is not required to be sealed and they can keep as many full magazines as they like, it doesn't take but an instant to insert the magazine and charge the firearm.

But I won't bring up Switzerland, how about the Soviet union, 2004 they had 4x the amount of murders than the US despite extremely strict gun control laws. Or Luxembourg, handguns are illegal and firearm ownership is very rare, but their murder rate is 9x higher than in Germany which has one of the highest rate of firearm ownership in Europe. And I could go on and on

Well, it looks like some young people are still able to find jobs. They apparently have already mastered that Wall Street entrepenurial spirit.

Maybe they were just helping themselves to the TARP money the bansters stole from their parents/

Robbing banks is probably a lot easier then we think.

Robbing banks is absurdly easy, it's the getting away with it part that's hard.

Unless you have friends in gubmint.

Run girls run! I love bank robbers! Except the bank robbers who run the banks.

anymore, they just went to where the money was.

They had no weapons, but the teller gave them the money anyway? What the hell is that? Boy, if I was that bank manager, I'd fire her ass.

Don't resist, just hand them the money. If you can, put a dye packet in with it.

Otherwise, the bank is covered by cameras, and it's federally insured. Better to lose the cash than your life.

Put a goddamn grenade in it as well. That'll give them a lesson.

By republican standards for the, "fruit of the boom" bomber and illegal aliens, it's South American justice time. Throw them in a dungeon, beat 'em, rape 'em, torture 'em and then give them a military trial and el Conquistador Cheney, Gen'l Betrayus gets to hang them like el Presidente Trujillo of the Dominican Republic back in the 1950's.

Yee hawwwwwwww............

If I worked in some cruddy bank for slave wages and criminal bosses, I'd gladly fill the sack, "you girls want tens and twenties, or big bills?" I wouldn't be putting myself in harm's way. No sireeee.

Well, the fact that someone doesn't display a weapon, or threaten a weapon, doesn't mean someone doesn't HAVE a weapon. Even when they look like Girl Scouts.

Bank tellers are trained to never argue, never resist (and for at least some banks, it's a written-in-stone policy and violation of that policy is a firing offense). It's only money, and it's not worth someone's life.

Symes's picture

Tellers are told that under no circumstances are they to challenge someone who is robbing them.
They are to comply with demands and get the criminals out of the building and away from customers and employees as quickly as possible with as little fuss as possible.

That teller did exactly the right thing and will rightfully be commended by her boss for having done so.

The 'young guns' were two boys who robbed a couple of convenience stores at night, with a handgun.

I say if you're old enough to wave a gun around, you're old enough to be tried as an adult. (Not to mention, WITH some adults, i.e., your parents.)

What, so civilians don't deserve that sort of treatment? Who do you think makes sure the military is fed and funded?

I'd give anyone's wallet back-- fully intact. That it belonged to a GI should make no difference.

Oops. It looks like they robbed him first. Not good.

Yep

they were doing this with ATMs years ago, until they started encasing them in brick. It can still be done but takes more time so....

I remember reading about a car theft ring that used an electric forklift and a flat bed with a ramp. A lot of car alarms had a have a mercury switch that would trip if they tow it but the forklift picked it up nice and level.

The teller must be a Republican .

a liberal, just redistributing the wealth.

Thanks to republicans, the only people to take wealth from are the super rich. The rest of us are broke!

my banks manager warned me that a teller might push a panic button if they saw me open carrying my sidearm, he said they are trained to do it and that he would of except he didn't notice it until I was walking away.

Walked into the bank and said: Stick up your ass, I'll blow your hands off, this is a mother sticking fuckup!

You got that right.
And it's gonna get a whole lot worse.


What is your conceptual, continuity?

You want to talk about living in your own private action flick? We just found out here that a Minneapolis SWAT TEAM OFFICER has been robbing suburban banks, convenience stores and (details coming out) perhaps individuals in his off-duty time. Maybe on the way to work.
