I just want to say that I think it was pretty crazy for someone to rob a bank so close to the police station. The suspects are either on some serious drugs or life has thrown them a serious curve and they were at their wits ends. I am not saying that what they have done is acceptable, I just think that maybe they need someone to talk too about whatever is going on with them individually.
