#3 "They stole the guardsâ Smith and Wesson pistols and thousands of dollars in cash before fleeing in a stolen dark green Holden Statesman."

Why is the manufacturer important to the story?

Oh, that's right. So they'll know who to sue for emotional distress!

#4 Remember the old bumper-sticker saw,

WHEN GUNS ARE OUTLAWED, ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE GUNS

#5 Kentar:

So, is there something especially frightening about a "Holden Statesman" ?

When Holdens are Outlawed, Only Outlaws Will have Holdens...

I slay me....

#6 So, is there something especially frightening about a "Holden Statesman"?

Maybe people that suffered damage as a result of the automobile pursuit will sue Holden. Just a thought..

Shotguns and semi-automatic pistols are still legal here...

#8 No offense there officers, but aren't armed robbers supposed to do this? I think it's in the job description.
Unless they were terrified by the Holden Statesman...
