... According to a press release by the Santa Monica Police Department, on Sept. 10, a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt, gloves, and a skull mask similar to one that represents the Mexican holiday, entered a Wells Fargo location in the beachside Los Angeles suburb.

Holding a shotgun, the man demanded cash in amounts varying between $3,000 and $5,000, and ran, jumping an 8-foot fence outside. According to the Santa Monica Observer, a witness said the robber jumped into a red SUV waiting in an alley.

... "Use of a Day of the Dead Mask during a robbery can be a separate offense or an enhancement, under the California Penal Code,” a police spokesperson said in a press release, per the Observer.

“In this case, the suspect is sought for violating the rights of indigenous peoples, and for bank robbery."

... A spokesperson from Wells Fargo tells Yahoo Lifestyle, “We are working with law enforcement and are unable to provide more details as this is an ongoing criminal investigation. Wells Fargo values and promotes diversity and inclusion in all aspects of business at all levels. We do not tolerate racism, cultural appropriation or discrimination of any kind.”

These brainless ankle-grabbing losers will be similarly stupefied when legitimate criminals refuse to have their guns registered...not to mention the swelling of their ranks due to the definition change such insanity will trigger.

What's the problem?  Their editorial standards are literally not one whit better than the NY Slimes, Commie Nitwit Network et al...

Maybe it's a set up to say this too is also BS...after all only the GoebbelsMedia could praise themselves by blaming themselves...

Very troubling to me that illegal effing immigrants ford rivers & streams and claw their way to this fruited plain & then go online only to be assaulted with a sham mockery of their cherished customs . . .

. . . . IF they can even read, that is.

2 Timothy 1:7
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but of power & of love and of calm, a well-balanced mind, discipline and self-control.
