3 Rangers charged in Tacoma bank heist

By David Bowermaster

Seattle Times staff reporter

The robbers apparently knew what they were doing.

As one kept track of the time, counting down the minutes, the others brandished automatic weapons to rob the tellers. All wore masks and what appeared to be body armor under their clothing.

When they were done — in under 2 ½ minutes — the men had made off with $54,000 from a Tacoma branch of Bank of America on Monday.

Just a frat prank! Just having a little fun!

2. The Republicans will be outraged by the outrage over this
Take that to the bank. No pun intended.

No wonder there isn't enough money to get soldiers body armor for Iraq.

3. What does it say about the army...
that this was considered well planned with military precision, yet the idiots drove a car that was EASILY traced back to them and left the evidence in their own rooms?

How stupid do you have to be to do that??? I bet any teenage shoplifter knows better.
