What an idiot. That bank is across the street from the police department in a busy area.
No he is an idiot unless that was what he desired which I’m going to bet it isn’t…
How about that they’re gonna keep him.
Mark that on the calendar, 1 stays in jail
.
IF he is a CA parolee, as result of AB-109 passed back in 2011 by DEMs, the max time he can get for the parole violation is only 180 days in county jail.
.
If there is no threat of incarceration,
there is no deterrence to criminal behavior
A “parole…. was he one of Gavin Newsom’s 20,000 prisoners that he let out of jail?
Bank robbery is a federal offense so he might get some detail time out of this one. Maybe that’s what he wanted when he decide to rob a bank right across the street from the police station
He’s in the jailhouse now
He’s in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice
To quit playin’ cards and shootin’ dice
He’s in the jailhouse now
Looks like he just wanted to go “HOME”.
Three squares and a cot.
The road goes on forever and the party never ends
If he didn’t get any money and never left the building… attempted 211. I agree that it sounds like he couldn’t survive in todays society and wanted to go back to get houses and fed.
In a weird way can you blame him? todays society BLOWS
Speaking of banks.
Does anyone know if the First Republic Bank (formerly Bank of Walnut Creek] impacted the City of Walnut due to its failure?
Wondering if the city had any accounts there?
Oops, Walnut ‘Creek’.
Walnut Creek is governed by “Oops”.
Suspect was still inside? Sounds like he wants to go back to prison. We don’t have enough prison
space in this state. The prison population peaked around 2006, and dropped down because of
prop 47. We need more prison space to keep lifers locked up and return the state to some sort
of sanity and safety.
This is what happens in a 1 party state.
Another revolving door candidate – good job Becton (sarc) ….. holding him this time?
