Breaking News! Downtown WaMu Robbed Yet Again

Our co-editor sent us a text message just minutes ago, alerting us that the downtown Washington Mutual at Congress and Sixth was robbed this afternoon around 3pm. Yet again! Details are scarce as cops and the media have converged on the already busy intersection, but we're sure we'll find out more this evening.

We have had so many robberies that we have decided to take extreme measures and remove the tellers from the room. " It gave me the impression that a lot of bank robberies we don't even hear about.
