    On a serious note.... :wink:


    A person dressed as Gumby walked into a Southern California convenience store, claiming to have a gun and demanding money, but costume trouble and a skeptical clerk thwarted the would-be robber

    In this surveillance video taken Sept. 5, 2011 and released by the San Diego Police Department showing a suspect dressed like Gumby telling a convenience store clerk he is being robbed, fumbling inside the costume as if to pull a gun, dropping 27 cents and leaving. Police say the attempted robbery took place Monday Sept. .5, 2011 at a 7-Eleven in Rancho Penasquitos, Calif. (AP/Photo/Siego Police Department)

    we had a black tranny rob a bank here in Huntsville... he got caught later though.

    We've had a serious spike in the past few months of violent crime here in North Alabama.. All that hope and change isn't working out for people. Two family men working the Krystals down the street from me were gunned down by a couple of former employees for a handful of dollars. I don't even think they got a hundred bucks. One of the people who did it (the getaway driver) called one of the widows to talk to her about the crime but she didn't have the 'heart' to tell the woman about her husband's demise.

    People are starting to resort to desperate measures all over.
