Former sports editor (& SJ.com poster) arrested in connection with bank robbery

Nope, you're wrong here...really wrong. Again I won't get into details. But tragic events sometimes set these kinds of things in motion.

 

I think the bank robbers are actually surfers...

Utah, give me two...

I know of a case where one didn't even have a gun, but pretended to have one in order to rob a bank. Didn't matter. Convicted of armed robbery, sentenced to 8 years, got paroled in two.

I think most of us would be 2-3 bad breaks away from drinking ourselves into a stupor every night and berating our loved ones, not 2-3 bad breaks away from committing a crime like bank robbery.

 

Hell, the first part is every night for me.

The second part? Not even on my screen.

 

Agreed...

 

Really smart to bring your kids along while you chase and confront someone who just robbed a bank. Dumbasses.

My first reax was Harry Caray stole Doc Brown's DeLorean.

 

Gotta also call BS journalism on the Daily Press story on the family chasing Orlikoff.

Your own former employee is involved, and the whole tone of the story is that it's some kinda joke.

1. What the family did was stupid.

2. Why no explanation at all about how he came to leave the Daily Press and when, why no comments from former friends and co-workers?

I assume that call came from highers up.

Nice freakin' job.

 

Actually, Doug, there are very few assumptions on this thread about why Mario isn't at the paper or what drove him to allegedly rob a bank.

 

Doug,

With all respect, I asked why he left the paper because it hits close to home. I figure we need some understanding as to how this might happen to someone from our little inner circle. That's all I was looking for. I didn't mean for it to become a thread about Mario's personal life.

And I'm sorry that some people are providing misinformation. I was sitting here wondering if a sports editor could actually wind up in such financial straits that he'd contemplate bank robbery. I just wanted to know whether that was the case.
