Michael Moore Steals $60!Ok. That was too easy/hokey/local-newslike of a headline. Of course we're not talking about controversial filmmaker Michael Moore who's films include Bowling for Columbine and, more recently, Fahrenheit 9/11. We're talking about Michael Moore of the 2000 block of South 16th Avenue in Broadview, who on Saturday robbed three people at gunpoint in less than 20 minutes. From the first man Moore got a ten spot, 11 minutes later from a stolen wallet of the second guy he got $30, and 3 minutes after that he took $20 from a guy. If Chicagoist does our 3rd grade math correctly, we can see that if Moore could have maintained this pace, he could have been raking in $180/hour. Not bad.. not bad at all! Unfortunately for Moore, the first man he robbed flagged down police and he was caught and charged with 3 counts of armed robbery and aggravated discharge of a weapon.
