Ty tr finest!
Some people are so unkind.Happy New Year to the rest of you.
Dorothy Candy sad but true. Got to love fb trolls and keyboard gangsters lol Happy New Year to you as well
Dorothy Candy exactly. Lets all feel sorry for someone who robbed a goddamn bank ????♂️ of course it wasn’t his fault either ????♂️
People who rob banks cost everyone money. I certainly don’t feel bad. We all have hard times but I never consider taking someone else’s money let alone scaring the hell out of bank employees.
Awesome work and fast too.
Didnt take long…
Betsy Cronen Huhn you would of thought that he could of learned something from the wellsfargo robber????????♂️
One dumb #!$@
losser
Tracy Sicola lose an s
Dumb ass
He’ll be out in 48 hours or less #bailreform
He deserved to be caught. Look at the photo. He put no effort into hiding his features. That big ‘ol mustache was a dead giveaway.
I know I will be judged by my remark, but it’s sad we don’t know what is going on in his family life for him to resort to this. Yes, get a job but again we don’t know what goes on behind closed doors. We all have been in a desperate situation and for him this was the only way out that he knew and yes a stupid decision on his part. It’s a sad situation either way
Gloria Barber you are right, we don’t know what’s going on, but with that said, you don’t rob a bank! He knew he would be caught so was it worth it? Or is he just a loser trying to get 3 squares a day? Either way, he had options, yet chose the wrong one. We all have hard times and need money quick, but I have yet to know someone with higher morals decide to rob a bank
He robbed a bank. No excuses. Most of the dang world is poor, broke, and on their last leg. We should all rob a bank according to your logic.
Gloria Barber Would you still feel the same way if he was a different race? Or would it be he’s a thug and deserves life?
Gloria Barber I can see your point. It is a sad thing that he felt he had to do something like this. Yes it was a bad decision on his part. Yes there’s a lot of people who are in the same boat. But look at our governor. A sanctuary state, drivers licenses for illegal immigrants. Companies only giving part time hours, with no benefits. Look at the big picture and I can see both sides of the situation.
Let me guess…another situation that “wasn’t his fault”…..dont know why he did it so it’s not his fault, or was it another disease so it’s someone else’s fault he did it? Or he didn’t know any better….SMFH
Kammy Brown absolutely not! Why would I?
Gina Polizzotto maybe that’s what he wanted to get cought and have the three meals a day. We will never now the real motive
This hurts my brain ????
Gloria Barber I said the same when it happened. How bad must it be. Empathy is not a bad thing.
MAYBE JUST MAYBE HE HAS THE BANK ROBBING DISEASE!! He needs help!
Kammy Brown why do we always resort to the race card???
everyone that commits a crime is in dire straits of some sort, an alcoholic who drives drunk, a mom who daughter had her heart broken, a father who wife cheated in him etc etc, NONE of these are reason to blantently commit a crime
Gina Polizzotto maybe because no is so goddamn expensive that maybe this was his last resort…
Kammy Brown
Francine Conzentino Campbell we? Just her
Why is Gloria saying goofy things? That’s the real issue. we should go rob a bank according to gloria and her comment sympathizers.
Francine Conzentino Campbell I was wondering the same thing!!!
Kammy Brown racism exist because of people like you, race had nothing to do with this post but you wish to use the race card for absolutely no reason. I guess you’re one of those people who think racism is ONLY directed towards black people, right?
John Amoroso the kid obviously has some issues? Yes no excuse to rob a bank but I agree, this woman didn’t say “Awee poor white sad depressed boy, probably had a reason…” no damn reason to bring race into it!!
Elizabeth Maldonado Rich Marshall
We were on our way to Seaside Heights to watch the Fireworks on New Years eve & seen about 5 police cars on route 37 around the same time that the bank was being robbed
????????????????????
I never knew seaside does NYE fireworks! ????
Krystal Lynn yes!! Every year! Usually thirty min worth! The best if the year! They were crap this year though!
Quick work. Thank goodness he was caught.
Maybe he did it to get away from his wife
Daniel Dolan sounds like a good theory ????????????
What a freaking idiot. Sorry but you must be stupid af to think you could even get away with robbing a bank in today’s day and age. Dumb ass
Amy Cavanaugh you can, people robbed a Manchester bank last year some time. One guy is still on the run.
Amy Cavanaugh especially in your home town! What a moron!
Marianne Fede Cipolletti R u sure it’s not your home town? I don’t live in Toms River?????
Wow…How did they EVER find him with that clever costume he wore???? LMAO!!!!!
Just the sweatshirt shows how stupid this guy is. Thanks TRPD.
He Looks Like He Needs Some Kind Of Help ?
Any citizen that helped catch this man should get some $$$. Just saying!!????
Another 45 year old who looks 60……..
