A News Crew Reporting Live On A Bank Robbery Somehow Didn't Recognize The Guy Doing It Again

Sometimes "lightning can strike twice in the same place,' because this daring bank robber hit the same location twice. That's impressively daring enough for this bank robber to pull off, but the fact that he walked right past a news crew on the scene reporting about his first robbery just shows this guy has some balls, so to speak. What we're trying to figure out is, who's worse at their job? The news reporter, or the bank employees?

Adam Sallet was the on-scene reporter covering a previous bank robbery for KIMT News 3 in Minnesota.

The suspense of this tweet has already been ruined since you in fact know the robber did run by Sallet, but how in the world did he, and subsequently the bank allow this robber to hit the same spot twice. Didn't they know to look out for this guy? If there is one person you shouldn't allow into the bank is the guy who had just robbed it.

It would seem management of both KIMT News 3 and this bank's branch need to rethink some of their current employees status.

As you saw, that bank employee comes running out letting Sallet know that was the bank robber right there in front of him, and the robber had just hit the location once again. This guy just pulled off a Hollywood-like crime in the fact he was able to sneak past a camera crew and back into the bank to pull off a second robbery.

"Hey, we both just done f*cked this whole thing up, because that's the guy right there and we didn't do anything to stop him!" – what that bank employee should've been saying

Gee whiz. How could this have happened? Sallet did admit to seeing the man entering the building, felt he looked a little strange, but did nothing to stop him. Um, as a news reporter isn't it his job to simply report the facts of a situation, but not necessarily right at that moment apparently. If he'd just reported suspicious activity it probably wouldn't have happened.

After returning from calling the police (which was a little late considering what he already saw before the [second] robbery) Sallet reports on what has just happened.

He lets us know how the police are handling the situation, and that the suspect in both robberies has been arrested. That's good, but Sallet and the bank did let this guy pull off two robberies in just a few days. One? Sure, that happens. But, two?! That guy is a badass, and Sallet and the bank employees really need to rethink their career moves.

Sallet kep a cool head about the whole situation and was light-hearted in reporting on his inability to see what was happening around him.

What an insane situation that's hard to wrap your mind around. A guy seriously pulled-off a double-robbery IRL. Let that sink in, and then question what's going on in our local news rooms and banks.
