Out of Duct, Out of Luck

When robbers wear masks, are they really just trying to hide their face? Aren’t they really just trying to hide their shame, maybe their sadness or their anger as well? Actually, it’s more of their shame really.
According to Ananova, a man in Kentucky tried to rob a store with a mask made entirely out of duct tape.
That’s right, he did it to himself. He wrapped his own head in duct tape and he wasn’t in a fraternity or a loading dock with a bunch of drunken co-workers or a bait shop/office supply store.
According to the story, the man tried to rob the store and the owner chased him, tackled him and held him in a choke hold. He managed to keep the robber in submission until police could deliver the three count.
News crews actually caught him on camera with a head full of duct tape and he actually denied being the “duct tape bandit.” He’s actually the “duct tape robber.” Big diff, folks.
