Hope when the reporter left they put the robber on his knees and shot him . That’s what they deserve . No prisoners just dead robbers . Saves the public money . Maybe you could get sponsors for each bullet used to kill a robber . Companies could say “this robber shot with a bullet sponsored by Standard bank”
