Bungling Brit Goes Bananas In Bookies Raid
A 24 year old crack addict is starting a seven year sentence after trying to rob a betting shop in London using a banana as a weapon.
Robert Downey threatened to shoot staff with the banana if they did not hand over the money.
The banana had been bought in a nearby fruit shop and was clearly visible to the staff as he shouted, "I want the money or I will f****** shoot you."
When staff refused to hand over any cash, Downey ran off and was arrested.
According to a report in ThisisLondon a police dog later recovered the banana.
Seven years seems kind of harsh to me when someone who drinks a litre bottle of whisky, then knocks down and kills a 12 year old schoolboy, only gets two months and a 12 month driving ban.
Betting shops are obviously more important in UK law than the life of a 12 year old child.
