Anniston Police and the FBI (web) are searching for two armed men accused of robbing an Anniston bank. Police say the men also took an elderly woman hostage, along with the caregiver helping the woman go to a dialysis appointment.  The women were not harmed, but the robbers remain at large.

It happened at Wachovia Bank on Bill Robinson Parkway in Anniston.  From Wachovia the robbers drove a green  Honda Civic as their "get away car."  It had been reported stolen from Birmingham.  But they only traveled about a mile to East Glade Road, where they forced an elderly woman and her caregiver to come along with them, as they stole the woman's car. 

They released the hostages - and their vehicle - in Glencoe around 11.  The women immediately went to the police and the robbers disappered.  Neither of the women were harmed.

Witnesses inside the bank say the men got out with a bag filled with cash.  It appeared to be a pillow case.  Some of the bills spilled out on to the property outside the bank.  Investigators collected the bills after the robbery.

Hostages inside the bank couldn't tell much about the men because of their disguises. However the FBI has released security camera photos.  Investigators call this case "fluid" and expect developments to follow.

When you catch them, do us ALL a favor, shoot them dead on the spot.  Less hassle in the long run for everyone involved AND it is a GUARANTEE that they won't ever do it again.  Execute them on sight.  Case closed.  Justice served. 



You are not half as intelligent as you and your grafted followers think you are. Kill em all is your answer to everything. Every crime does not warrant a death penalty. Get over it.
