Robbers, Hostage Sitting In Car With Flat Tires

When you ask the negoitator for a getaway car, make sure the car can move. Otherwise, it makes you look like an asshole.

In Florida, people exited a bank where two armed robbers held employees hostage all day long. They got into a car parked in front of the bank, and pulled out of the parking lot with several police cars and helicopters tailing them. Then, they drove down U.S. Highway 192, and made a loop and returned to the bank parking lot.

Nothing like getting lost on your escape route.

"We're going in fucking circles!"
Should have brought a map.

A police spokeswoman said the SWAT team tried to enter the back of the bank using a concussion grenade. It's not clear yet if the SWAT team tried to enter before or after the robbers left the bank. The armed robbers took the hostage and calmly walked out the front door and got into the suspects' Lexus.

Why use concussion grenades if the robbers aren't in the bank anymore, shock and confuse the chairs? And why are you robbing a bank if you have a Lexus? I could understand if they calmy came out of the bank and got into a broken-down pickup or a 10 speed.

The spokeswoman said the suspects fired shots as they drove away, but they were forced to return to the parking lot because all four of the cars' tires are flat.

Man, please tell me they didn't fire shots into their tires.

Currently, the two armed robbers and the hostage are sitting in the parked Lexus in the bank's parking lot. Police are apparently in contact via cell phone with the suspects.

Oh man, they're still in the car? Hold on...I'm laughing. Okay, someone tell these guys the game is up. You lose. Here's a funny picture. Robbers in a car that can't leave the parking lot while the SWAT team interigates an empty bank.

Earlier in the day, the two armed bank robbers released two hostages, but they kept one female bank employee inside with them at the bank. The suspects released a man
in exchange for a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

Exchanging a man for a pack of smokes. Sounds like these guys are preparing themselves for prison already.

Mad Man! I have to hand it to you. How do you keep coming up with some of these stories. I would imagine that it would be harder just finding the stories. I looked back at some of the stories I missed and they're just as good as this one and some are even better.
good work
