Where was security ?? If these places had armed security this would not occur! The tellers life was in jeopardy! Same thing happens in convenience stores! The people that work there are traumitized forever thinking that they may DIE ! The banks, convenience stores don't care about the people that work there. All they care about is the MONEY !! What about our legislators , (instead of trying to pass bills about seat belts ) force these companies to make sure that the employee can be assured of being safe at work! I think it is reasonable to go to work and feel safe !!
