Bank Robber Willie Thomas: “Because there are no consequences in SF."
Willie Sutton, the bank robber from a century ago, responded to the question why he robbed banks with the now famous line: Because that’s where the money is.
Not to be confused with Willie Sutton, our Willie Thomas committed over ten robberies in San Francisco over the past two months. When SFPD started to describe Thomas on Twitter, sources tell me he dressed up as a female and continued to rob banks.
SFPD reported they arrested Willie Thomas on February 17, 2022.
Today, as dangerous as Willie Thomas is to the public, he was released from Department 20 with just an ankle monitor. You can’t make this up. Where is our DA office’s prosecutorial experience? Where is the coverage of this in the Chronicle?
Rumor has it that Thomas wanted to one-up Sutton and responded to why he robbed banks, Because there are no consequences in San Francisco.
