Ninjas Rob a Gas Station
Description: “Sept. 24, 2007: Police said two women dressed as ninjas were responsible for the hold-up of a Richland Township gas station Saturday morning using a samurai sword.”Nobody was hurt and the suspects have not been caught. The article accompanying the link can be found here at thepittsburghchannel.This is just another sad case of bored kids with no creativity or originality.Here are the steps the kids probably took:
1. Stumbled Upon the How To: Make a Ninja Mask
2. Started to crave a Crunchwrap Supreme at Taco Bell
3. Realized they had no cash for former
4. Decided to try to win on scratch off tickets
5. Realized they had no cash for former
6. Took a younger brother’s dagger and katana
7. Robbed a Sunoco
8. Gave money to this manThe only thing they could have done to impress me is split up as a pirate and the other as a ninja. Nice try.
This absolutely cracks me up. I suppose it is illegal and dangerous to rob a store using daggers and swords, but it’s still funny. The news station apparently feels it was (they were dressed like “well, you know…”), but I love how seriously the polic officer takes it, with comments like “we very seldom see that sort of weapon used in robberies.” And then they stole cigarettes and lottery tickets–it doesn’t even say anything about money. My guess is that these two women were hanging out at a club or something, got really high, and thought it would be funny to dress like ninjas and rob a gas station. The only thing I wonder is where they got the costumes and those oh-so=dangerous “accessories.”
