Jeez, that was posted on Twitter 7 hours ago along with San Dimas take-over... Hello!, time to cover the news...Chase Altadena bank was another ex-con 3 striker crackhead, armed with Baretta in waistband. Pull-Up FBI bank robbery photo websites; looks like Fred Sanford on a bad day. This is another Chase Bank with no security, no American Flag but plenty of free cookies from 'day-old bakery'.
