Just Say No to 911

Friday, April 10th, 2009 • Filed under Banks, Robberies

The 911 number has done some great things in their time. They have provided us faster access to necessary services. They have increased response times to major emergencies. They have left a huge gaping loophole to catch not-so-bright criminals.

One bank robber actually called 911 after he knocked over a bank, according to the AP.

He robbed the bank, but got in an accident in his getaway vehicle. Given his intellect, he also might have stopped to exchange his information with the other driver.

He later found his roommate dead of an apparent suicide, so he called 911. Police matched his description to that of the bank robber and took him into custody. Now that’s an increased response time.

A police captain told the news service the man “was having a bad day.” No, a bad day is cutting your finger on the copier and accidentally picking up the banana cream filled Twinkie instead of the regular cream filled Twinkie. This guy was having a bad day multiplied by a cursed life and divided by a “case of the Mondays.”
