That's because Detroit doesn't have that many big name banks and the banks here have all of that security from our crime issues. | ||

Who would want to rob the broke-ass banks in Detroit? | ||

seems like it should be per-capita. or per quantity of banks. | ||

Detroit has a lot of big name bank branches. | ||

that's because the criminals here aren't very clever...it takes brains to pull off a bank heist... and I'm not complimenting the ones that do it. I'm just saying that criminals here are better suited to simpler challenges, like robbing corner stores and carjackings | ||

In the 70s and 80s there were a lot of bank robberies around the city . | ||

"Detroit has a lot of big name bank branches." Comerica, Chase, and a division of big names I personally don't think count. None of them are based here anyway. Thejesus, actually, It's probably easier to commit bank heists in the suburbs than the city. I can guarantee they're isn't as big of a security thing out in Birmingham or what not where you have to get nude to enter the bank. | ||

"where you have to get nude to enter the bank." I guess you could see everybody's assets at that bank. | ||

At a news conference at the time, Gorcyca said he was urging leniency because Lawson was acting out of desperation in tough economic times." Isn't this the basis of most bank robberies? I mean, ya gotta be pretty desperate to try to rob a bank. | ||

Desperate? Not if you're Sparkle Jones! I just love that name. | ||

Too bad Sparkle isn't a middle aged, laid off mechanical engineer... among other characteristics. She might have gotten excused! |
