He fled on foot and he looks to be in his seventies. What the hell,.. were the cops and the bank security guards in wheel chairs and walkers?
Thank you, thank you,... I'll be here all week. Try the fish and remember to tip your waiters, they really appreciate that. Good night, folks.
When ya ain't got nuthin, ya got nuthin to lose. Sadly, I believe that we'll be seeing a lot more of this.
You got that right! Wonder if he'd need to be doing this if those in office were really looking out for average americans? He's not a bank robber, he's merely guilty of unauthorized transfer of wealth. Like illegal aliens are undocumented immigrants! Guess two can play that game!
If they do catch him they better bring him to trail real quick. He might not live long enough to make it through a trail much less the jail sentence.
Go Papa GO
Maybe he was just preparing for when Health Care passes?
His skin looks like it was put on by a professional make-up artist. The skin isn't realistic and is probably a man in his twenties well-disguised. It looks like they copied Johnny Knoxville's character from "Jackass: The Movie" when he was both in the 'wheel chair in the street' and then 'stealing items in the store' scenes.
ISU was about to say the same thing to quick to be 70 bet it is fake when he gets caught.
Hes probably doing this to pay for 3k+ a month prescription bill. Neat story almost as good as the drunken guy dressed as a ninja trying to jump a 5 ft fence and getting himself impaled.
He fled on foot? WT...? Imagine what a marathon runner can do? You better have some F-18 on stand by!! lmao!!
Way to go gramps, good for you and remember kids, the same people that can't catch a 70 year old man "fleeing" on foot are the same ones that would have you disarm yourself and depend on THEM to protect you. We're so screwed. Oh, and did I say WAY TO GO GRAMPS?
I'd rather have Gramps and wlockridge with guns when it comes to protecting anyone than anti-gun people like you any day. Seems as if maybe Gramps decided to take charge of his own stimulus package. I agree...Go, Gramps, Go.
Reports are the cops were coming from a Dunkin Donuts and got cramps chasing gramps! LOL!!!
I bet he had one of those motorized scooters from the Scooter Store!!! And it was probably paid for by Medicare! Talk about the govt lending a helping hand!!! There is just too much material here.
He looks like Don Imus in a couple of years!
You mean a couple years ago?
The best part was " he fled on foot" LOL how fast can an old man run?
I think it's great! You go Geezer Bandit!
He looks like Don Imus in a couple of years!
I believe he headed to Florida and is trying to blend in with the other 80 year olds.
GO- GEEZER - GO,,, keep up the Good work,,, rob those rich Bankers for all their worth,, John Wayne would - Go Geezer Go,, and hit JP Morgan Chase too and wells fargo,, and all the BOA Branches too,, Go Geezer Go !!!! You law enforcement people are ordered to let him go, and you'd better not shot hyim either, or, a whole bunch of Ol' Geezers will be after you guys !! Go Geezer Go !!!
He probably dosens't have much of an income and figures that if he gets caught, he won't be in prison for that long so what the hell.
May be simply trying to lay a little aside for his wife in the nursing home or (hopefully) for his girlfriend.
Just don't hurt anyone Geezer!! You have a cult following it appears! I wonder if the banks are going to start offering free coffee and donuts for police so they "might" have a chance to chase him down! Don't get caught Geezer....
You got that right!! lol
It's Cali, so he probably needs the money to pay taxes or use it as payoff money for gang protection.
While I cannot condone bank robbery, I have a grudging respect for a man of his age taking action. We normally assume the elderly just fade away. We've seen it in elder suicides, elderly depression, and other forms of elder abuse. Many of the elderly have been priced out of their own homes and are on government assistance, certainly a source of shame after a lifetime of taking care of yourself. But this guy? This guy is going down fightin'! He will be caught, eventually (hopefully alive), but I bet he has one heckuva story to tell.
Chris Mck, well said, and I agree with you. I don't approve of robbing banks, but I admire Geezer for doing something. I resent the way he and his peers have been treated in all the ways you mentioned here. He is definitely fightin', and I cannot help but be on his side. In fact, I think I want to be just like Geezer when I grow up.... and I'm 62.
"...and asked for cash."
Don't anybody Trust Banks anymore?
He asked for cash, because all he has now is a pocket full of "Change we can believe in..."
Heather, you are the Queen of Great Comments tonight! Funny but sadly true, isn't it? Geezer and many others have been forced to take care of getting their own Change. You've made my day.
The "Geezer Bandit" is the living realization of MY retirement plan! Hit up a few FEDERALLY Chartered institutions, get a sentence at a Club Fed - 3 hots & a cot, free medical & cable TV, gym membership, recreational education (at 70, who needs another degree?). If you don't have the travel bug, you got it made! :-) Even in prison you can "go, go, go on your Hoveround!"
And when and IF they catch him,he'll be treated (finally)with respect at the Crossbar Hotel ! Unbelievable! And to think I haven't saw a bad word about him on here! And as many problems I've had with B.of A. over the years I would like to thank him for getting some of my money back! Are they sure they really caught Dillinger! lol
DAD, Please come home , we'll get the Playboy channel for you.
Actually, I've met many like Geezer - really not in his 70's, but at only 19, he just looks to be older because of a very hyper-active sex life and Medicare just doesn't cover his expensive Viagra habit. Way to go Geez.
The posts are more amusing than the story.
This is all too funny. You guys comments are great! I hope the old man gets away with all of it. Go Geezer!!
My main Geezer Buzz Lightyear!
Has this man ever had to work for a living? He can't possibly know what I need or don't need because he has never been a "commoner"
Right on GrandPa!!!!!!!!!!!!!
maybe he was mainling geritol and his habit got too big to handle on his pension?
He should come to Michigan, The cops here could'nt find their ass with both hands
