LMAO - Suckers!


Attempted Bank Robbery in Springfield Area

Franconia Police District – On Wednesday, August 11 around noon, three men entered the Union Bank located at 6975 Springfield Boulevard in Springfield, in what appears to be a robbery attempt. The three men entered the first set of doors for the bank and put on masks. A metal detector inside the doorway was activated and the second set of doors into the bank automatically locked. The three men attempted to enter the bank but were unsuccessful so they then left on foot. No one was injured.

The three men were described as black and around 6 feet tall. One was wearing a lime-green shirt and a baseball cap and a second was wearing a white shirt and baseball cap.

Especially if you're walking into a bank and put on masks after you enter the first set of doors....

Just wear a full Burqa and you'll get away with it. It's a felony, but I see it all the time.
Burqa's with the Hijab aren't exempted in the law, but I've seen women (presumably, who could tell?) driving and shopping in them. This is totally what I'd do if I were a criminal.

§ 18.2-422. Prohibition of wearing of masks in certain places; exceptions.

It shall be unlawful for any person over sixteen years of age while wearing any mask, hood or other device whereby a substantial portion of the face is hidden or covered so as to conceal the identity of the wearer, to be or appear in any public place, or upon any private property in this Commonwealth without first having obtained from the owner or tenant thereof consent to do so in writing. However, the provisions of this section shall not apply to persons (i) wearing traditional holiday costumes; (ii) engaged in professions, trades, employment or other activities and wearing protective masks which are deemed necessary for the physical safety of the wearer or other persons; (iii) engaged in any bona fide theatrical production or masquerade ball; or (iv) wearing a mask, hood or other device for bona fide medical reasons upon (a) the advice of a licensed physician or osteopath and carrying on his person an affidavit from the physician or osteopath specifying the medical necessity for wearing the device and the date on which the wearing of the device will no longer be necessary and providing a brief description of the device, or (b) the declaration of a disaster or state of emergency by the Governor in response to a public health emergency where the emergency declaration expressly waives this section, defines the mask appropriate for the emergency, and provides for the duration of the waiver. The violation of any provisions of this section shall constitute a Class 6 felony.
