DU saved me from a bank robbery!
Was getting ready to go to the nearby B of A branch, but ending up spending some time here. By the time I got to the bank, it was surrounded by police and news trucks.

Turns out there was an armed robbery that happened right when I was supposed to be there.

Robber led police on high-speed chase before ending tragically.

Warning - graphic video of car crash.

1. Horrible. Can't believe the guy went aiming for an innocent driver.
Glad you weren't there.

3. It sure looks that way.
Idiots. Can't just kill themselves.


And thanks - very glad not to be there either.

2. Good God! That robber drove head on into that other car!

Obviously decided to take his life, and didn't mind taking someone else's life at the same time.

How very sad.

What the hell is wrong with people today? I guess when you have a President so out of control, so corrupt, so hateful toward the American people, it trickles down.

:(

Very sad, the person in the white car had no idea this was coming. I hope they're in a better place now.

Very disturbing video.

I'm glad DU delayed your trip to the bank!

A couple seconds of terror for the poor driver.

9. It's the general state of affairs in America today.
We have a President and administration who do not obey the law.

They do what they want to do, and so far, they've gotten away with it. So, others see this and think they should be able to do so as well.

The economy isn't that great, regardless of what we're told. Everything costs more today than it did before Bush came into office, and there's no hope of any relief. People are getting desperate.

In short, Bush is setting a bad example, and has removed the hope of a better tomorrow from many people's thoughts.

10. Exactly why high speed chases should be illegal.
:(
It was only money.
