Darth Vader Robs Long Island Bank

Posted by samzenpus on from the I-find-our-lack-of-funds-disturbing dept.

Apparently the destruction of the second Death Star has stretched the Galactic Empire's coffers so thin that Lord Vader himself is robbing banks. From the article: "Impotent Rebel Alliance security forces tell Newsday (paywall) that Vader marched into a Chase bank in Setauket around 11:30 a.m. today. Brandishing a completely unnecessary handgun — as he had the power to choke the oxygen out every teller's throat — the fallen Jedi demanded cash."

    I was disappointed to find out that the third robber wasn't black.

    You can believe what you wish about what I think. My initial reaction to this story was that I thought the angle of how the story was being told was highly inappropriate, and I was equally disappointed to find everybody laughing about it. It's an armed bank robbery, not a social event. How the guy was dressed might be funny if it wasn't something that was not only highly illegal, but the potential existed for someone to get very seriously hurt.
