During the robberies, the suspect wore baggy, dark-colored pants, and tan work boots or shabby athletic shoes with blue or black tops and white soles; and a ring on his third (ring) finger of his left hand.

Experts say he was probably driving an American truck, lifted, with wheels as big as his pink genitalia, possibly drinking a monster energy drink

That’s a lot of bank robberies in a short period of time. Hopefully, he’ll slip up and get caught.

Jennifer, why so polite with this one? That’s so not like you. I bet if he was a couple shades darker you’d be using the usual “thug” and “clean up our streets” repertoire that you throw around with all the other posts on this site. Your constant soap-boxing and moral fear-mongering are easily seen through. Be consistent in your discriminations, we are all watching…

Hank, there is more than one Jennifer here. I’ve never referred to anyone in the terms you’re referring to, and I’m not a discriminatory person. I have noticed the other Jennifer’s posts, and if I happen to post on the same thread as her, I’ve noticed we have very different opinions. I will also state that I’m not the same Jennifer (on the thread-if we post on the same thread). I am the same Jennifer as Jan. 22, 4:16 p.m. Please keep in mind there are A LOT of people with the same first name (especially common names) and it’s probably the reason people use their first and last name, or a screen name. On some blogs, people have an avatar (picture) to separate who they are. Have a great weekend.

They better watch the US bank in the old Safeway. He’s hitting a lot of in store branches. I’d watch that one.
