This is my fault. I didn't get to this story, because I do still want to cover this Golden Valley Bank robbery that wasn't real.

Oh, yeah.

I still don't understand what the hell this is. That's why I want to read it. A man passed a note to a bank

teller and then left. The nonviolent incident spied his rumor and innuendo piled up online. One morning in March,

a man passed a note demanding money to a teller at Golden Valley Bank branch, then wandered out.

The teller hit a panic button to summon the police. Henneman County deputies took a report,

categorizing the incident as an attempted robbery. Online, the passing of a note took on far

larger dimensions. A former city council member, after hearing a third-hand story about what happened,

posed a question on the online forum, next door. Did anyone know about an armed robbery

where police failed to respond? Crime and

policing are central issues in Golden Valley where political factions disagreed about why the

police department is short-staffed. Well, it's short-staffed because everybody bitched about the cops

for three years. That's why they don't want to do it anymore. With 13 sworn officers last week,

less than half the number budgeted for what to do about it

and whether it settle down, Biden, cough, or...

Sorry, we keep passing the virus back and forth.

Back and forth.

Because of passion.
