A polite robber steals from a gas station.

Posted by 2Morganne on February 24, 2011 at 9:19am in Mr Bruns 360 Message Board

In Seattle a 65-year-old man enters a Shell gas station and tells the man at the cash register "I'm robbing you, sir". The robber explains to the man he needs the money for bills and to feed his children. The robber apoligized for what he was doing and said that he would pay it back someday if he got out of poverty. The man was arrested because the entire robbery was caught on tape. I think this is pretty crazy! What a polite robber. What do you think? Read the whole story here.

If you are going to rob something why be nice about it?

he was probably just saying that so he could get the money without getting in trouble.

um yeah wow.. that was pretty stupid.. idk what to say. its just that the guy needed money and he felt really bad about taking it, but his priorites come first i guess.

omgsh im suprised he would be that polite! most robbers would put a gun 2 your head and scream give me the money! lol i think he should get something for being polite.. its not like he was totally threatening the guy he used manners c'mon.

wow i think the guy is dumb because people who take things don't really say that, they just take the things and get out of there.

If you need money, then you need money. He also has some kids to feed.
