Two shot in Toronto bank holdup
- Thread starter Phil C. McNasty

If both victims survive they'll be charged with attempted murder, which should be automatic 10 to 15 years in jail.
Lets hope they get caught quickly
The robber opened fire at the customer and “that round struck a 22-year-old female employee” of the bank, wounding her on the leg, Earl said.
The robbers then ran out of the bank, and the customer who confronted the thieves earlier “chased the suspects into the parking lot,” Earl said. The customer struggled with one of the robbers, who fired his handgun, striking the customer in the stomach.
Rick said the robbers opened the bag of money before getting in the getaway car. He then saw red dye explode out of the bag, covering the bills in red powder.

So they shoot two people doing a hold up, and then their money gets tainted by a dye pack explosion? Either very desperate, or very stupid, or both. Armed robbery, attempted murder, stealing a car...and they have nothing to show for it but useless red dye stained money.

Probably the usual usual. These two "gentleman" are the victims of massive discrimination and society is to blame.
what a dumb f*ck that customer was who got shot. Banks make insane amounts of money, why does he care if it gets robbed? Then he was stupid enough to chase them into the parking lot after someone was shot inside, and tried to wrestle with them? Only way I`m ever stepping in front of a gun is if a family member is being kidnapped and they have already shot someone.
Exactly! As a result of this idiot trying to be a super hero the girl got shot, and as a result he got shot as well.
Why are people so stupid?
Rick said of the customer then chased the robbers as they left the bank:
“He’s just one of those guys that wasn’t going to take shit from anybody."
I would agree that it is unwise to struggle with armed men who are intent on robbing a bank.
I was in a drug store a few weeks ago and a guy grabbed the money out of the open till and ran out the door with a fistful of it. Another male cashier ran after him and gave chase. He returned out of breath and announced to the manager he almost tackled the guy and if so would have "messed him up 'cause I could have taken him". Manager said "It isn't in your job description to chase and beat up people who rob us - thank you for your efforts, but remember, he could have had a knife and stabbed you when you tackled him - is $80 from the till worth you risking your life over?"
