The manhunt for two bank robbers who escaped from a downtown Chicago prison this week intensified overnight, with police chasing multiple leads as new footage shows the men getting into a taxi minutes after their brazen escape.
Investigators say surveillance cameras captured Joseph "Jose" Banks, 37, and Kenneth Conley, 38, getting into a taxi minutes after their early Tuesday escape. They entered the taxi at the intersection of Michigan Avenue and Congress Street, just blocks away from the jail.
The FBI considers them "armed and dangerous."
When i first heard this on the radio, something caught my attention. Look at the last line. Somehow, in Chicago where they have some of the strictest guns laws in our nation, convicted bank robbers could arm themselves on the same day they broke out of jail. So lets pass some more laws making it more difficult for law abiding citizens to arms themselves and maybe next time these crooks wont be able to get theirs.
