Covered in a wonderfully written article by The Miami Herald, Palm Beach and Broward County residents can finally take a sigh of relief knowing that the horrendous individuals involved in the Dunkin Donuts robberies are behind bars.
The last two men were caught trying to take a boat to the Bahamas and were arrested by police. The three other men involved were caught when police officers saw them attempting to steal a pitbull who was on a walk with its owner. The authorities reported that the men were not remorseful. A total of five people were shot in the robbing spree.
I thought the story was covered very well and made the robbers look like complete idiots (not a bad thing). I was surprised however that there was no link to related stories. This is a story that has been covered for awhile and maybe The Miami Herald felt that they had covered the background information already. I don't really think this was the case. The comments, as always, are incredibly interesting because people become so outraged. Some praised law enforcement, others claimed that the men would be back on the streets in no time, while one other said he/she would hang them from a rope. It's nuts, but I have come to appreciate the comment section of stories because it is something that is solely based in online journalism. I like to know what people are thinking and how they react to certain stories and situations.
