Check this out. Two middle school girls with no weapons robbed a bank in broad daylight, and completely got away despite the full SWAT team/helicopter dragnet shit you see in the movies.

Pulling something like this isn't juvenile delinquency or mere crime, it's a message. Perhaps our systems are becoming so dumb that outwitting them is child's play, or maybe children are arising that can out-think us our best strategies with ease. Either way, I think it's fucking awesome!

Here's an interesting legal question, if you hand a bank teller a note that's not threating that politely asks for money, and they give it to you and you don't have any weapons, does that count as a robbery? I'm no lawyer, but it seems to me that you might have a case in that regard.

Always wondered this.

Also wondered if I'm allowed to do my banking in a ski mask.

Whoa! Are you some sort of mega-genius? What a loophole!

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
I'm not a lawyer, either, and it probably varies from state to but handing a not e to a bank teller, even without specific intent, is a minimum charge of disorderly conduct.

I think you're duty-bound to try it out and let us know what happens.

On what basis do you make your opening conclusion here? It seems like juvenile delinquency to me. Two girls didn't think it would be that big a deal and went and did a crime.

"It's a message?" I hope you don't get too near cliffs out there in CO, because you took a giant flying leap on this one.

I'm sorry, why is this the awesomest thing ever? Was it because they were girls? Young? Because they have up til now evaded arrest? Because it was a bank, and not a convenience store?

You know what would have been more awesome? If two young girls had FOILED a bank robbery and then evaded thanks. That would be pretty damn awesome.

This kind of sucks.

because it is surprising and new, and some of us choose to enjoy that despite the obvious negative aspects.

So, anything surprising and new is the awesomest thing ever?

Nothing surprising and new can, itself, be a negative aspect of a situation?

You're being surprisingly inexact for being, well, you.
