More lowering of standards

Time was when bank robbers were unafraid, even cavalier, about their livelihood. Take Willie Sutton. When asked why he robbed banks, he replied, "That's where the money is."
Compare that to what happened a short time ago in Roslyn, N.Y. A would-be robber walked into the Roslyn Savings Bank and demanded money, threatening to start shooting if the teller didn't fork it over.
The teller replied, "You kiddin me?" or something similar.
The robber fled.
More information is available - the failed robber was female - but it won't be reported because the writer is afraid of lawsuits.
