Comments on: Bank Robber’s Camper Shell Found Burned In North Escambia; Surveillance Photos Released http://www.northescambia.com/2009/05/armed-bank-robbery-in-atmore Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Thu, 16 Apr 2026 00:03:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: GG http://www.northescambia.com/2009/05/armed-bank-robbery-in-atmore/comment-page-1#comment-11907 GG Thu, 21 May 2009 15:51:43 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=8313#comment-11907 There is always speculation on why someone would do a thing such as this. There is also positive and negative things said about the way the investagation was handled or the security of the location and so forth. I have been involved in three different robberies, and one of the being with a gun pointed toward my stomach. You never know what people will do, or why they are doing it. I was angry at the person that held me up at a bank in Texas, but afterwards realized that in desperate times, people react and do things that they would not normally do. I hold no grudges against the man that did that to me, but it makes you more aware of your surrondings, and makes you more alert when you work in the public. I think in the big picture, we just need to be thankful that the employees of FNB are safe, and pray for them with the after effects that this may have on them. It effected me for some time afterwards. Job well done to all who was involved. Team work of any kind is always a plus. There is always speculation on why someone would do a thing such as this.

I haven't read one comment on here where anybody has said anything bad about his mother or family. It has all been good about his family. So, please stick to the matter at hand. HE robbed the bank! Let's pray he gets found and gets the justice and help he needs without hurting anybody! Am I missing something????

And yes, sometimes mental illness takes control. But downing his Mother and/or parents is not correct either. As parents we can do our very best and our children still may falter. None of us are perfect. And at a certain age you have to be responsible for your own actions. But when mental illness is a factor, it makes it harder to keep yourself grounded. I personally dont think people should judge this situation until all the facts are in. Yes, it was a stupid action. But he truely may need serious help. All we can do is be on the look out for him and contact the police. No one needs to make his Mother feel like crap. Nor does anyone need to accuse Northview faculty of anything. I'm sending prayers to his family. And for him to know not to hurt anyone, including himself and to turn himself in so his Mother will not be so worried.

And they were scared out of their wits!!! They did not ask for anyone to come in and ruin their day! And for some this has ruined more than just a day! Just take a look at the photos. They say it all! A normal person does not walk into a bank with a gun and demand money!

I went to school with Chad and was friends with him. My Brother and his brother worked together. Their Mother worked at the School in the Lunch room.. You could not ask for a More Loving Mother...she raised her kids the best she could so don't talk about her or the family .. Cause if you are saying bad things you don't know this family they are not Crazy. They are a normal everyday family.. Chad has had it really bad and some times does things with out thinking what the out come will be. I pray that he do whats right and Turn him self in , I Pray that the family be strong during this hard time. .. And You cant blame the School.. Cause I too attended Northview..</p> I am so Shocked..

He is very knowledgable with computers and may be keeping up with the news. Chad, this is a plea for you to turn yourself in to the authorities. No one has to be injured. You can receive the help that you need. I have met you on a few occasions and know that you are a good person. It is not too far fetched that Chad himself is reading these comments.
