A brave bank customer in America has taken on a wannabee robber, and it’s all been filmed. Security video shows a man wearing a hood and mask demanding money from a row of cashiers. But as he tried to grab the cash, he was tackled from behind!

That guy got pw3nd. Saw it on FNC.
I expect the bank will be asking him to find another bank, as being confrontational with bank robbers is against their policy.
LOL! The old white guy (hero) in white socks was relentless. He just jumped him and wasn’t lettin go. LOL! Great job. The bank employees were pretty clueless.
I love seeing older people with an attitude in these situations. They just don’t put up with any s**t. The hero was all over the robber. Priceless.
I'll give it another try ........ tomorrow ... after the Aleve kicks in.
Did that lady kick him in the head?
Bank robberies are FBI job security, and they want to see as many as possible occur.
HAHAHA...the woman went over and kicked him while he was down!
what was that, a Scary Movie mask?
The woman bank employee went over here and kicked the robber in the head. That probably slowed him down a whole lot. She did real good!
1) Brave citizen is reprimanded by police.
2) Robber is hailed as a 'freedom fighter'.
3) Brave citizen is fired from job.
4) Robber is given job with ACORN. 6) Robber is set free because brave citizen is racist.
7) Brave citizen pays reparations to robber.
8) Robber sues brave citizen and wins, getting all of the brave citizen's property.
I enjoy seeing this as much as anybody.
Unfortunately, some consideration should be given to the possibility that the perp might actually be toting a bomb, and that it might go off in the struggle.
5 or 20 dead people is not a happy ending.
In ObamaLand:
1) Brave citizen is reprimanded by police.
2) Robber is hailed as a 'freedom fighter'.
3) Brave citizen is fired from job.
4) Robber is given job with ACORN.
5) Brave citizen is jailed for unauthorized vigilantism.
6) Robber is set free because brave citizen is racist.
7) Brave citizen pays reparations to robber.
8) Robber sues brave citizen and wins, getting all of the brave citizen's property.
Loved the lady giving him a kick
Or more likely, the prep might have pulled out a gun, and in the ensuing struggle, an innocent bystander might have gotten shot. I like a brave man as much as the next guy, but the problem is, the 'hero' is not just risking his own life (which is all well and fine), but he's risking someone else's life (which is not all well and fine). And these lives are being risked over what? Saving Bank of America a few hundred bucks?
If he detonates himself, accidentally or otherwise, he ain’t gonna be able to spend the money . . . . unless he’s really a hostage like that pizza guy. But that’s the only case of that sort I’ve ever heard of.
LOL! I missed that. Good for her.
The older white guy who tackled the robber was probably a “racist.” ;-)
These lives are being risked over a little thing I like to call the Rule of Law.
If everyone did what these old folks did, there would be very few criminals.
