Putting a dude in jail under “suspicion” (he was Celtic) for 3 months and letting another dude go free after robbing a bank (they didn’t know how to charge someone with that) sounds like a synopsis of a comedy sketch
of course now they look like a racist jackass moron who wasted time arrestig the wrogn guy while the other guy got enough money to buy a nice painting of himself. So now who's laughig, racists?
I mean "robbing a bank" might not have been a crime yet, but I'm pretty sure "stealing something that's not yours" must have already occurred to them to criminalize by then; heck that was such an old crime they put it in the Bible.
As a historian blacksmith, gotta say, hell yeah! Pat Lyon is a chad, used his big lawsuit reward to have a bad ass painting made, where he specifically wanted to be painted like a common blacksmith and not like a wealthy gentleman (ya know, the people who can usually afford portraits). Also in the background of the painting is included the cupola carpenters hall, where the bank was located at the time. AND- John Neagle being an obsessive nerd made sure to measure all of Pat's tools and paint them exactly as they actually looked, when most artists at the time just took the ol "eh thats just some stupid blacksmith shit draw a brick on a stick and call it a day" approach.
I’m imagining the stereotypical robbers firing their guns into the air to startle the bank goers into submission, but since it’s the late 1700’s they all have to spend a minute to reload and get the crap beaten out of them.
Or being slightly smarter and only having one of them shoot into the air but it doesn't go off because they didn't store the gunpowder properly so it got wet.
And then just before he hits the ground he narrates a still monochromatic frame of himself with: “Yup, that’s me! You probably wonder how I ended up like this” and proceeds to tell the story from a point in time a few days before he fell down
i'd imagine it would go like "give me money" "no" "please" "okay fine" but then historians get the details so wrong then believe they fought to the death over the ancient equivalent of like 8 bucks
I remember a story of some man who robbed a glue factory and ended up sticking himself to the ground during the act, leaving himself as the easiest criminal to ever arrest.
"We are arresting you because we think you robbed a bank" 3 months later, after they found the real guy: "Damn, not gonna lie I dont know how long you should be in jail"
I love that snowflame and sonic are crucial parts of the Huggbees Cinematic universe. I still remember when snowflame the cocaine powered supervillain snorted at the speed of sound
I thought this would be about the guy who tried to rob a bank with lemon juice on his face so that it’s invisible ink properties rendered him invisible
If that's a real thing, Huggbees is the best person to bring us the full story. I would absolutely *love* to hear about someone so incredibly lacking in brain cells that they thought lemon juice would render them invisible and instead of verifying that fact, chose to rob a bank and test the theory that way.
It's even worse than that iirc. He thought that because lemon juice was invisible ink on paper, that doing so would cause his face to not show up on camera, and thus would have no evidence for him, because the lemon juice on his face would disappear on film.
@@waffler-yz3gw You’re under arrest buddy. We’ve received various reports of somebody flashing gay gang signs and scaring civilians and you fit the MO. Come out quietly with your hands in your pockets.
I knew nothing about this story but when you asked me what's the stupidest way someone could rob a bank, the first thing that came to mind was robbing a bank than depositing the stolen money into the bank that you robbed. As you can tell my faith in humanity was never very high to begin with.
@@waffler-yz3gw No, nowadays they have a thing called insurance which covers the theft, and also it’s better to give the tracker/dye bag money to the thief so can catch them after they’re out of the bank away from civilians
If they do that they fall victim to the "racial prejudice" that Huggbees kvetches about, where defending yourself against a black criminal is a felony.
@@gumbowallace that's people's lives though. if someone can't withdraw money in a day sometimes they die from not being able to get medication. you'd be directly responsible for probably around 10 deaths.
some years ago, near my house, there was a bank heist, the dude posed as an IT tech and came out with millions in cash, hasn´t been found to this day, that was a ballsy move that paid off
I work at a bank these days, and honestly, some of the fraud attempts people do are almost as dumb as "I'ma sleep inside the bank, let my buds in, then deposit the stolen money into my own account", and there's way more security practices in place now.
It's a sad state of affairs when the number of things that have changed meaningfully about the legal system since this incident can be counted on one hand.
I think the greatest part about learning about this light novel is the fact that no one could be bothered to read it because "Dude, it's like 80 pages!" If it's too long to learn how to survive a death game RPG, ain't no one got time for it if it doesn't.
The extended silence after "I'm so glad that the modern legal system that we have never lets racial prejudice stand in the way of proper justice." is too good.
Not going to lie, I legit thought that it was a Wendigoon video that came out because the title totally feels like something Wendigoon would cover at some point in the future himself. That being said, it's always great to see a new Huggbees video come out! (Incidentally, my comment is just another point of Huggbees where we laugh at people and the stupid things they do or have in mind.)
Astounding and incredible to see this second awesome upload from Huggbees, and it happened to be posted the day of my one year wedding anniversary :) today on our 1920s train ride back from the Grand Canyon, our train was stopped for a staged cowboy hijacking and robbery. Much more fun than bank robberies or the real thing! Thank you for a great closer to my wonderful day.
When he said to imagine the most stupid outcome I was like "Probably depositing the money to the same bank he stole it from". Then I watched the rest of the video.
Anything discussed through the lens of Hugbees becomes exponentially more interesting. My nonsense history loving self is always overjoyed with this junk.
I didn’t watch the full video since I’m commenting this before I could even watch the whole thing but I just wanted to let you know it was great and I was enthralled by the topic.
I love how Huggbees videos boil down to either "Heres an interesting thing I found" or "Heres how this would be made if I was God" and Im here for both.
calculating the inflation of values from before 1913 is kinda difficult due to the monetary system completely changing in 1913 when they began to abandon the gold standard.
Come to think of it, now I'm curious what the first SUCCESSFUL bank robbers did with their money. Presumably we have no record of that I mean i'm not shocked the first guy tried to put it back in the bank, because... what ELSE are you gonna do with it? money laundering obviously took a while to develop, and everyone would be too paranoid to just keep it in their house..
13:58 my biggest question is what was lion imprisoned for if bank robbery wasn’t a crime back then and why didn’t they just charge the actual thief with it
In terms of stupid ways to get caught, I thought of the art thieves from Internet Historian's video. Giving your real phone number to a rando you borrow a vehicle from you use in the crime... and keeping a full itinerary of your crime including all accomplices on paper...
6:20 There was essentially 0 net inflation until the 1910s, so your math doesn't work out. Before then there were periods of inflation and deflation, but the net change was very little.
The best thing about heist movies is that they tend to run clean. No violence, but trickery. And the vault is usually owned by the bad guy and the whole thing is kind of a Robin Hood story.
"I want you to be thinking about the stupidest possible way for a bank robber to get caught while watching this video..." Okay, they misplaced their getaway car and decided to approach a policeman for help. "...and then think of an even stupider way." Oh, they asked a policeman for the best bank to rob.
i was trying to fall asleep and when he went quiet at 9:44 i thought that either the next video will start or he will say 'dont worry, your autoplay is working'
