Seniors who lost their home, can't afford to live, and don't have any children, or any who are supportive, are known to rob banks for money. If they get away with it, perhaps they'll have enough money to live off of for another 10 years. If they get caught, they'll end up with a roof over than head, plus 3 squares a day, rather living on the streets. We are a throw away society, so we care little of those over 50, despite the fact that we'll all grow old at some point, at least most of us.

She was a victim of a money scam she lost her entire life savings this is a common thing that happens to the elderly. She became desperate and robbed a bank, what would you do if you lost your life savings that you worked for, for over 50 years to get and someone came along and took it right from under you. The system isnt going to help her get that money back she lost I do not condone theft, but her story is a sad one I don't think max sentance is required for this person.

@justclaudiabusiness 3 дні тому

I work a block away from a bank and we were told to remain in the building due to police activity. We later find out that an elderly person had written a note to a banker demanding $100. When the banker gave the elder money, the elder walked with his walker a block away and hid. He was pretty hidden due to parked cars and trees. Its a busy street. Anyways, cops end up finding him, & draw guns on him. Robbery isnt okay, but it shows how messed up our system is when an elderly person who cant even walk without a walker robs a bank.

We are seniors living on SS after working all our lives , family has disowned us for asking for help for him. Not once did anything like this ever cross my mind. Our pets mean so much to us. We would starve so they could have food. But you don’t steal, you don’t rob a bank no matter how desperate you are. As seniors we should always be an example for our children and grandchildren, for the generation now. I pray for her.
