Wait? We don't know him? He has a big heart? He made a mistake? At least he din't kill people.. ARE YOU SERIOUS? You all are making excuses for this guys actions...It doesn't work that way. He is now concidered a threat to our society. He knew right from wrong..Sorry, I won't pray for a robber. People who sugar coat a robbibg suspect are just as guilty. I'm not afraid to use my real name. So any "comeback" comments are welcome. Oh, I'll bet he doesn't have a job,That'll be the excuse..Right???

I'd just like to say that I was misquoted earlier when it was reported Sgt Haney received dust particles tohis hair. Due to his thick protective coating of Aqua Net for men, the hair remained flawless. Thankyou

No he didn't kill anyone, but he ruined their lives because of his greed. If your family was "so close and loving" then why didn't your family get him help??? You keep saying pray for him, NO pray those poor tellers! How would you like to close your eyes and see a masked man with a gun???

why are you getting so mad the news hasn't even released his name yet ? You really should quit mentioning that he is your brother. If it was a mistake he may have only done it once but to commit the crime more than once makes him even more accountable for his actions. & sorry to say actions speak for themselves he clearly only cares about his well being and it obviuosly didn't matter to him how he got what he wanted or who he had to go through to get it . now look where he is in jail.

That's correct A/C Dan (Gunner) Gebo single handed arrested and brought this violent fugitive to justice. This addict must have been confused and thought he was on the South Bend side of Hickory. My elite NET unit swarmed in and this perp didn't have a prayer. One of my most elite donors (Haney) was slightly injured when his perfect hair received dust fragments.Good Job NET unit on cleaning up the Princess.

Be sure to tell yourself that this is the fault of a society that is so racist, it can be seen through a telescope in another galaxy. Then let that warm feeling of congratulations wash through your body. You're smart. You're enlightened. You're a "good one". Keep rationalizing safe warm noble sounding self righteous things to yourself from the safety of your bourgeois blocks.

This suspects are all over the place and keep doing the stealing the robbing of all kinds. Poor tellers that have to face this idiots that do not work or are addicted to robbing banks and credit unions. It is easier for them to get a gun and run to the nearest bank and tell the teller gimme the money or I ll blow your head off. What scariest moment for anyone to hear that the next second they will meet their maker. They will not even allow to say a prayer before they shoot. Catch all of them pl
