#Ohio #Crime #BankRobbery
Wow, you know things are bad when seniors start robbing banks, this is so sad.
She was scammed over the phone.
She needed the money 💰 it is over for her 😢
Bidenomics did that 😮
Desperate times calls for desperate measures. She probably holds the Guinness world record book now. Lol. 😂
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.
I hope she asks for the Senior discount during sentencing.
😂😂😂
Classy
😂😂😂😂😂
hahhaha
If she had that kind of money for Bond she would not be robbing the bank in the first place .
I have to say that a senior citizen who is duped in an online scam and then resorts to bank robbery to get their money back would be a great idea for a movie or an episode of Law and Order.
Definitely
Bumping up this❤
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.
💯
Well now at least in jail you don’t have to worry about housing or food. Prolly better medical care than us out here!😬
That’s what I thought. If she got away with it, ok, if not she has free room and board for a few years.
Why tho? We see blks get slapped on the wrist and are free the next day after shooting someone lol. Called criminal justice for a reason tho.
ong who need a 401k
@@Donna-mk9ibfew years? robbing a bank is a serious crime
Free medical
I ask let's pray for her.🙏
Do you pray for all criminals ?!... That's a no. I think her complexion has you feeling the holy spirit.
@@sandlotkrew8778 You pray for everyone, even Jesus went to criminals to save them from eternal death.
Um yeah people pray for criminals all the time.
@@80sgamer55 Thank you.
@@kendraw7461 To be honest, yes all the time.
Granny needs to eat too, I’m not mad…it’s rough out here 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Amen 🙏
She worked all her life and has nothing to show for it. This will happen more in the future. 😑
Sad but true
Because she wasted her money and didn't save and invest. You have 45 or more years to prepare for retirement.
@@billybrown7953 she was scammed on line and they stole her life savings
@@billybrown7953I am pretty sure most people had no idea about investments 50 years ago
@@billybrown7953 I don't know if it said in this video, but there are other ones out there and the report is that she was scammed out of her money, so that's why she decided to do what she did
Federal prison has great health and general care. Banks are federally insured.
It was a Credit Union Not a Bank.
Prison has horrible benefits. Watch last week tonight for the truth on that
@@PHN-2024credit unions are insured with the ncua.
She’s probably retired…but thanks to our government and their greed they probably took her pension year by year until she was left with nothing but empty pockets! Just like they did to my mom!!!
So true
Don’t blame bad financing decisions on someone else and make excuses . Seniors get medical help, housing assistance, social security . Newer generations have it tougher with highest inflation and housing hikes .
@@akbarbukhari and what bad decision was that ? I’ll wait ….
@akbarbukhari are you crazy, you can't even get food stamps anymore unless you have children under 18
@@akbarbukhari But this particular "senior" was ripped off by an internet scammer.
*we wouldnt be struggling to pay for our grandmas insulin if she was brave like this woman*
😂😂
Why are you struggling to pay your grandma insulin? I thought Joe Biden had it down below $35. Is that a lie too? I’m so sorry if it is and that’s exactly what I figured was this little ladies problem is she’s just struggling to survive.
Medicare pays for all that
@@akbarbukhari It doesn't pay for all of it especially a large hospital bill 🙄
President Biden just got the greedy pharmaceutical companies to lower insulin to $35.
Did anyone start GoFundMe?
I have the exact same long term care plan
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.
It was a women right?
What made that poor woman have to do that
Hard times? Can't really think of anything else..
Joe Biden
WHAT????? If you have to ask that question.... STAY ASLEEP 😢
Dementia, mental health issues?
Exactly
She did it to get caught so the state now has to pay for her health care😂
What? If she’s 74 and poor, they already were.
@@askew9976 Medicare only pays a percentage 🙄
@@askew9976Medicare is not free, housing , utilities, transportation, food all cost money which she had none .
Yup
Bless this Granny!!!!
Well Well Well 😊
Smart. She'll now get consistent housing, food and medical care.
Free retirement. I don't think it was about the bank's money.
You might be right. Instead of being homeless in her old age she may have done this knowing she would be caught and get medical service, food and a place to lay her head down.
You get em, grandma!
Awesome !!!!! If im on that JURY she walks free
Yeah, the government probably took her social security check, and left her with nothing. She needed money.
@@AntiMasonic93Most likely. That good ole .Gov
@@AntiMasonic93 And that gave her the right to rob someone else?
@@Thaddeus-ml8ifwho exactly did she rob other than the bank?
She was scammed out of all of her money
Why pay for an expensive assisted living home when you can get arrested and get assisted living for free
Jail for free > seniors home not free
Prison offers free housing, meals, health-care. Guess it could be much worse for some. I want to hear her story.
The health care is awful
Let her free
How much is her bail
100 000
10,000
Smart move considering she lived a full life and now has great benefits and a place to live with food
She didn’t seem to be worried. How did things get this way?
The usual suspects...
always the white chalk colored ones fr lol
If a black man who was scammed lost his life savings and robbed a bank they wouldn't be cheering him on or wanting to pay her bail
GTA 6 is said to feature a new senior citizen character who is playable during certain missions.
Goodness gracious, bless her heart!
She like social security won't cutting it 😂
Creating a "Only Fans" page wasn't an option for this literary Poor Senior Citizen.
Seniors are also clumsy at driving who gets a hart attack while driving
Typical suspects
I think we need to understand our elders are scammed and armed
How to plea I’m insane!
Poor granny. 😢 Someone should set up a GoFundMe for her.
Retirement plan?
Actually not a bad one…. If you get a low security jail … not bad some have swimming pools
So bad 😢
Stay classy, humanity.
Our system is such incredible garbage.
They said in commentary that she is 73 y.o.
Retirement plan! Free food, shelter and health care!
YOU WOULD OF NEVER GAVE THAT TO AN OLD JUNGLE BUNNY!!!
Thug life.
Times are hard wow
She was so desperate.
When some are reaching a point in life that they seem of clear mind but aren't, it's very sad. She likely needs to be put into a nursing home that's locked, where she can't leave for her own safety. I doubt she's just desperate. My Dad is going through this weird unusual behavior and it's tough to see him, not be who he always has been. She's clearly no criminal, and needs help.
Free her
Our little teddyboy ( chihuahua)was injured last night. The vets wouldn’t put his intestines back in his body and sew him up until we paid in cash. 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.
Is she married? I'm 68.
😂😂😂
Laughing out loud, I guess that poor woman needed some money. Now all her bills will be paid, while serving her time in prison. 😅
It's really sad to see. She is at the end of her life too. She could die any year now so I hope the sentence is light. Bc if they put her away. She would die in prison.
If this is the one I think it was, wasn’t she a scam victim? Either way, I just don’t understand what people think will happen. Rob a bank, go to your other bank and pay off your mortgage, go home and relax? I joke that my vehicle having *numerous* identifying characteristics is added incentive for me to ~NOT~ commit crimes, especially felonies; I’d be waaaaay too easy to track down
Another wake up call to the government that they’ll undoubtedly ignore 🤷🏼♂️
Not worth it grandma
Wow grandma
Just let her go home. She's not a threat to anyone she's probably out of medicine.
Has anybody started a GoFundMe or anything like that so we can get some money in her pocket and get her out of jail?
What if this was intentional, so she would have free healthcare in the prison system for the remainder of her life?
@@dreamslovesoul Federal prison health and general care. Banks are insured by the Feds.
@@dreamslovesoulShe’s 74,she most likely has both,Medicaid and Medicare. I think she can’t afford to survive,with the cost of inflation 😢 . So many seniors all over this country are struggling.
@@WNHTCT So that makes it ok ?
Sorry, tRump already grifted everybodies extra $$$.
Had to be desperate.

Somebody start a Go Fund Me to pay her bond.
She needs to post 10k to get out of jail. Famly might help her .
Bond her out
Wow!!!
Hard times push people to do certain things
Nana...😨
Well, well, well
I guess she needed money for her AARP membership
No bond money committing crimes tho
Put The G In OG
Is she going to be given a psych evaluation? Terrible when poverty forces people to take drastic steps. On the other hand, she could be a devilishly clever old-woman who has years of experience in burglary. 🤷♀️
All timer
I’m curious to know did anybody ask her? why she did it?
It was said that she lost a lot of her money in a online scam.
Desperation make make do unthinkable ...is no excuse but sad ...she definitely probably will died in prison ..sad cause she have no record...
She needs a Bed, Home and How Sad.
Why she doesn't play a power ball or a Mega millions better lucky. 74 so sad😢😢😢😢
The Bingo Bandit strikes again!
Wow Gramma! 😢
All i see is excuses let anybody else rob the place.. Lock em up They always steal
Get it girl! Grandma can rob banks too😅😂🤣
Tough times, granny gots to get paid.
Sad but it truth every going up and no one has any money
Lol, this is the funniest thing I've heard so far. 🤣 😅
Neo-liberal capitalism across party lines is the problem.
Well I guess she said she got nothing else to live for. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So this is one of the things that ohio grandmas do other than doing ohio stuffs like seeing the moon in daytime
"If found guilty" the old hag is on camera robbing the bank lol
Did the suspect confirm her identity? Anything behind a screen is fake.
Oh, tRumpers😢.
Well 3x
Yaw fn lyin
😳
Usually suspects
*see kids, even if you retired and living off of your soical security checks and 401k, the government still tax you from your soical security checks and 401k so you will still be broke even retired.* 🤣
I hate to say this, but that's my retirement plan. If it works, I will have plenty of money to live, and if I get caught, I get a free apartment, medical and dental care, food, an excercise program, and a job in the laundry room or license plate shop. Either way, I win. I'm sad that so many others are being forced into this crap.
It's always the same race.
The bank teller notified me Aubrey and his parents stole my identity to illigally open bank account to commit credit line fraud
This seems to happen when there is a bad economy. I’ve lived through several and this happens every time.
Joe biden made her do it
