this is so ridiculous. if the kid lived down the street from a casino or lost this money to a bookie would it be this big of a deal?

Yes, I think a college student (who was seemingly doing well for himself, was class president, was the son of a minister, etc.) robbing a bank in an attempt to pay off secret gambling debts would still be a big deal.

good point. i forgot about how high profile the kid was at his school. i was thinking this was just another kid going through the motions of college.

Let's hope to see more of these articles!

The government is secretly working on
"Poker Madness." This documentary will show clearly
how playing poker - just one time - will cause
insanity, crime and destruction.

It's good to see propaganda media hasn't lost its fervor!

Your header is incorrect. It should read: "Gambling Addict Robs Bank"

Hope the kid gets what he deserves. End of story.

And what does he deserve? Jail time, definitely. Ass-whooping, probably, slap across the back of the head, sure. But, don't you think the gang rapes he's going to be subjected to are a bit too much?

Bank robbery is a federal crime which means he'll be going to federal prison. Federal prisons are nothing like what you see on TV. I would highly doubt he has to worry about being gang raped.

This kid is a total retard?.

5K in debt, so you rob a bank? There are millions of americans with WAAAAAY more debt than that.

This reminds me of some story they told us in college about not running up credit card debt, some girl ran up a debt of like $1,800 and killed herself and the only thing me and the other people in the class could think is

1800??????? WTF? Get a night job for a few months, jesus.
