Robbed Bank With Wheelchair

If we look in the perspective of Islam, when you sick, you start put more efforts to be closer to Allah. But it is better for you to get closer to Him when you are healthy, not only when you are sick.

But what happened in San Diego, to me, is just out of mind.

Terminally ill man, 71, gets 21 years for wheelchair bank robbery

SAN DIEGO: A 71-year-old terminally ill man has been sentenced to 21 years in a California prison for rolling his wheelchair into a San Diego bank and holding it up with a replica BB gun.

Judge Jeffrey Fraser said that Peter Lawrence could theoretically get out of prison at age 90, when he would no longer be a threat to the public.

According to City News Service, Lawrence told the judge he robbed the Chase bank of more than $2,000 (RM 6,270) this summer because he felt hopeless after being diagnosed with a myriad of medical problems.

Defense lawyer Kenneth Kaminiski says his client did not want to harm anyone but wanted to get caught so he would not have to live on the streets.
