Is the Assistant Commissioner your brother too?  (Mark Rowley)

[J.D]

I'm sorry but I have to disagree here! Playing the hero when someone is robbing a bank with what the guy THOUGHT was a toy gun is just stupid! I could understand if he was robbing his dear old grandmother but come on, A Bank? More times than not these have a go hero's end up dead! If he was my brother id be relieved he was still with us but at the same time id think what an idiot! And the bank won't give a fiddlers fanny Adams about any hero who gets a cap in his ass!

Right, let the games begin!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought I remember you posting about your brother being involved in a similar situation a short while ago Tony?
Is this the same story or another bank job that he has foiled?

To answer your questions:

No the Assistant commisioner is not a relative (as far as I know)

And yes Andy its the same robbery, its in the news now as the robber has been convicted.

I wont try to fight off the negative comments as my brother is more than capable of defending himself if needs be as his actions have shown, what I will say is just because you would have wet yourself and legged it you shouldnt hate someone who has helped catch a criminal who was not only convicted for the attempted robbery but for two others as well.

I think you should blame the parents for instilling a sense of right and wrong in their children, something that is severely lacking in todays society.

Any way enjoy the football.

Lol. Good answer.

[J.D]

Say what you like Tony but I think it was stupid! I didn't use the word hate by the way and their is a big difference between cowardice and engaging ones brain!
Best of luck to you and your brother, he got lucky this time.

You clearly did not understand the context in which i was using the word "hate"

I do however find your assertion of my brothers stupidity a touch offensive given that, and I am assuming, you dont know him.

Perhaps if it was your mother or wife working in a bank who had been affected by this robber then you may be more grateful (and graceful) for my brothers actions and the fact that he will not be able to rob another one for a while.

If you like I could give you his number and you could arrange to meet him to discuss his stupidity!!!!

Hey Hummer, step into 2014, it's fan, I mean fab

Good South London Window Cleaner can always spot a real gun
 

[J.D]

Making veiled threats isn't smart Tony! If you can't take criticism or someone else's personal opinion then maybe you should not post on a forum! 

[Tony Rowley]

Your clearly not very articulate so after this I won't respond to you again.

Perhaps you should engage your brain and read posts properly before posting any reply.

No veiled threat in my post, I was merely suggesting that as the big brave man you clearly are you should tell someone they are stupid to their face instead of hiding behind your keyboard.

And possibly if you don't like me disagreeing with you, you should consider whether you should be posting on the forum.

Have a lovely evening.

Tony

[J.D]

OK Tony, here you go mate - I think your brother was a real hero, what he done took balls of steel and I've no doubt the bank will be so grateful that they'll give him a massive reward!


End Off ! 

[edward1]

I think its great a member of the public stepped in and stopped this guy ,Id say very brave ,it takes a strong person to do this and well done  I hope he was rewarded.

one of my friends was held up at gun point and it still haunts her many years later .

I did once witness a security van robbery  in Colchester and a member of the public stepped in ,one of the robbers pulled a gun and the other robber pulled a knife and stabbed the guy trying to help.the guy who was stabbed almost died .
