Blind stupidity

A German bank robber who forgot to cut eye slits in his mask and lifted it up to demand money was sentenced to 4 years in jail Tuesday.

The robber, dubbed “Germany’s dumbest criminal” by Bild newspaper, had entered a bank in the western town with a burlap bag over his head. Bumping into bank customers on his way to the teller, he pulled out a plastic knife and a toy pistol.

He then lifted the front of his mask to look at the teller and demand money. The robber was told the safe couldn’t be opened and he fled. He was easily identified from security cameras.
