There was a robber around here that wore black tape on his fingers, they called him the black tape bandit. He robbed like 6 banks with just a note. He even robbed a couple twice. You'd be surprised at how many banks get robbed in Knoxville.

Edit....found the story. Black Tape Bandit

Dang it, THATS IT, outlaw pepper spray and inner tubes. We can't have this happening over and over again. Who is with me, I will start a petition soon to get this into legislation. We can't dilly dally on this people, lets get the ball rolling. This is outrageous that such items are available to the common man since they can be used for such heinous crimes. This must be stopped and the only way is to regulate and control the use of such items so that such a dispicable incident will never be repeated. Emails have already been issued to state representatives as well as craigslist. If anything craigslist will be forced to repay the money that was stolen, it is clear they are an accomplish in this heist and must be shut down.

Those who are with me subscribe to this thread for an update on the online petition that must be signed to get the law passed. I vow to get this accomplished in a timely manner and quickly so it never happens again
