When you choose a bank that’s only a block from the Police station, what could possibly go wrong? 70-year-old Lawrence John Ripple walked into the Bank of Labor in Kansas City, Kansas, and handed a teller a note that read, “I have a gun, give me money.” Surprisingly Ripple’s goal was not money. It was a desperate ploy to get away from his wife by going to jail. Therefore, after the teller handed Ripple $2,924 in cash, he simply sat down in the bank’s lobby and waited for the police to arrive. When they arrived, he handed the money back and was arrested peacefully. In front of the judge, he pleaded guilty and then blew it. He explained that he had been depressed after heart surgery and was not himself. The bank manager and the teller pleaded for leniency which the Judge granted. The bastards. Lawrence’s sentence? Pay the bank for the staff wages because the bank closed for the rest of the day - $277. Pay victims of crime levy - $100. Three years of supervised probation. And six months home detention. A cruel and unusual punishment indeed. Regards, P.S. Instead of robbing a bank, which usually results in incarceration rather than home detention, there is another way to make bank. It’s a simple way that requires no mask or gun, just the computer you’re already using. https://go.wm-tips.com/sr-list.
