Robbing a bank - hostage legality question

Nonsense thread is nonsense.

OP use online banking.

Also anyone genuinely fearing for their life/believes themselves or someone else is about to be killed, surely worrying about what a court might say is the least of your worrys?
 
Why not sue the bank for keeping all that money in the same place and thus making themselves (and their customers) a target.

Why not sue the local council. They're in charge of the roads. Without roads you wouldn't have been in the bank.

So you admit that you wouldn't go back in, but then you would try and sue someone else if they didn't if the shoe was on the other foot? :rolleyes:

Your own life should be more valuable to you than someone elses.

I wouldn't risk my life to save someone elses, but obviously I would want someone to risk their life to save mine if the roles were reversed. This is a pretty normal reponse, I'm not sure why you're rolling your eyes at me.
 
If you've got robbery issues I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but being a hostage ain't one...
 
I would imagine the police, or who ever, would take action after the first or second hostage was shot.

That is very much your opinion. If I had kids I would most certainly say that their life would be more valuable to me than my own. I would also say that many people put their own personal safety and lives on the line as part of everyday life for someone else. The army and emergency services do this regularly. Therefore I think your assertion has to many exceptions to be a rule.
