Maryland State Police have a strange case to solve: A man walked into a Frederick County 7-11 Wednesday morning and tried to rob it. His weapon of choice? A banana.
The 7-11 on Fingerboard Road in Monrovia has been robbed before, but never like this. At 12:45 a.m., a masked man walked up to the counter and grabbed--a banana. He aimed it at the clerk and demanded cash.
"What's he think he's going to do with a banana?! Ain't much you can do with a banana! Throw the peel down and hope he slips on it," said resident Michael Benton.
Police said the suspect hit the clerk with the fruit, but the clerk fought back with a real weapon. As a surveillance camera rolled, the clerk grabbed a knife and chased the man out of the store.

In some of these places the jobs have been gone for 25 - 30 years, so the people cling bitterly to their fruit and their notion of projecting soft power.

I fully expect a majority opinion on bananas written by Souter, Ginsburg or Kennedy very soon.

Police said the suspect hit the clerk with the fruit, but the clerk fought back with a real weapon. . . . "I wouldn't have done that. I would have just given him whatever he wanted and let him go," said nearby store owner Jodie Capone. How servile can you get? What would she do in an attempted rape?
. . . As a surveillance camera rolled, the clerk grabbed a knife and chased the man out of the store.
This took place on the Planet Maryland, so I expect the authorities to come down on the clerk for using excessive force. Probably something like, "He should have used a rutabaga." (Tongue is only slightly in cheek.)
