Man Holds Up Bank For $1 In Attempt To Get Medical Treatment In Prison

21 Jun 2011

Richard James Verone, 59, unemployed, who apparently has a chest growth,
two ruptured disks and a problem with his left foot, tried to rob a bank
of $1 so he could be treated free as a prisoner. Verone, of North
Carolina, USA, walked into an RBC Bank branch and handed over a note to
a female worker demanding one dollar.

In the note he had written that he was armed.

Verone said he is hoping for a three-year sentence, the time he
estimates his medical needs will take.

After handing over the note he is said to have sat down on a chair.

The bank teller dialed 911 and said on the phone "He's sitting on the
sofa as you walk in the front door."

The police were called and arrested him; he had no weapon.

In a telephone interview from prison in Gaston County, North Carolina,
Verone said that he is a logical person, and holding up a bank for one
dollar was the only logic he could come up with.

Verone added:

"If it is called manipulation, then out of necessity because I need
medical care, then I guess I am manipulating the courts to get medical
care."


As he was unarmed he will not be jailed for armed robbery. Larceny,
which means theft, would probably only result in a one-year jail term.

It shouldn't be that difficult for one to avail himself of OBAMACARE,
don't ya think?


I don't give a schitt what you right wing mook turds think. I have my
own group now, asshole. It's doing wonderfully. Don and I are having a
blast over there. I only come here because, well, let me make something
up real quick..... Oh, because I like to study deviant behavior, yeah,
that's it. And Don's here because he's my puppy and follows me
everywhere.



We're sure you have Canuck and Tosk convinced you're me.


You'd better watch your ass, buddy. If I get the least bit scared of you
(which I do easily) I'll call the cops on you. Yes, I'm that much of a
coward. So much so that I always answer my door with a gun in hand.
