Bank In Kroger Store Held Up By Man Wearing Skeleton Mask, Brandishing Semi-Auto Gun

Posted by | October 15, 2014 18:45 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics Top Stories


Cincinnati Police are searching for a suspect who robbed the Fifth Third Bank inside a Kroger store. The suspect wore a skeleton mask, carried an umbrella and brandished a semi-automatic handgun at the teller, demanding cash.

The robbery took place around 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday at the branch location at 2310 Ferguson Road, according to Cincinnati.com.

The man stole an undetermined amount of cash, then placed the money in a black nylon bag with white letters and fled the bank.

Police say the man is believed to have fled toward the rear of the adjacent Wal-Mart store.

Just to make an unbiased point (I joke), he could be this open carry Kroger shopper:

He could be anyone. Seriously, Krogs (I can call you Krogs, right?), maybe you should look through your surveillance footage because your new clientele looks pretty suspicious.

Like this nice gentleman.

Kroger doesn’t allow skateboards, shirtless shoppers or kids eating an ice cream cone, but an armed man wearing a skeleton mask slips past their radar. Maybe he was just blending in.

Safety for Kroger’s shoppers should be a thing, but I don’t want to stomp on anyone’s rights to totally freak the public out.

Big thanks to my source for the link.

    Oh golly gee! Who could have seen this coming!?

      Not the open carry people. Their long rifles must have blocked their view.

    Official NRA position: It takes a GOOD open-carry Kroger shopper with a gun to stop a BAD open-carry Kroger shopper with a gun.

    • Pilotshark October 16th, 2014 at 15:51

      Well it must take a good gun with a gun and a ski mask to stop a open carry bad guy with a gun and a skeleton mask?

    Invite them and they will come. The shoppers boycott and the gun nuts come, what a horrible business decision.

        OH, that’s why none of them were there to save the day. The last package of Oreos needed an armed escort. I see.

          The cookies score higher on a IQ test than the five Hatriots.

        whats really scary is that guy on the far right wearing that bowl of soup hat in Texas.
        or is that a real gun carrying Texan in his 1/2 gallon hat. it would seem he is a few pints short.

        • GreatLakeSailor October 16th, 2014 at 15:53

          Hell, they’re all on the far right!

          The guy is a trilbilly.

    “Just to make an unbiased point (I joke), he could be this open carry Kroger shopper:” well Anamoly100, you may joke, but i’m not so sure you’re wrong. i look at this 2 ways. 1 HA! and 2, kroger should be happy that their idiot gun toters weren’t there (you know the ones excercising their rights to carry) because they likely would have had a war zone there with innocent shoppers being killed. krogs opened the door for this to happen and i’m not sorry for them.

  16. StoneyCurtisll October 15th, 2014 at 19:18

    I thought the “armed shoppers” were supposed to prevent this sort of thing.

      They were too busy changing their Depends
