And since that show America’s Most Wanted came on it seems like they expect citizens to turn in the bad guys and solve all the cases. But if you call a few times and they can’t find someone you are nuts. Right.

Report Abuse

I believe it is the meth epidemic causing all the roberies and home invasions. It won’t stop until the cops finally admit there is a meth problem & figure out how people are cooking it right under our noses. All of the meth can’t be coming from Mexico. I was getting tires on my car and a woman told me that someone had broke into her attic and was cooking meth. She had called the cops too many times and they wouldn’t come back because they couldn’t catch anyone. Said she was nuts. She is not nuts because I have heard this before. Has anyone heard this?

Report Abuse

It def. would, but then the banks would have to train them and I just don’t see tht happening.  Then customer confidence would go down knowing the tellers would be armed.  I don’t know what the answer is, but believe me, it needs to end.  These good for nothing punk thugs need to be stopped.  Someone is going to get killed.

Report Abuse

Has anyone ever thought of arming bank tellers?Ask no questions,just shoot.I’m pretty sure that will slow down these bank robberies.
