U might think that this bro looks just like any other alt, on his way to a buzzband show after getting coffee, using wifi, and having #millenial_problems. But what if I told u that this was not a photograph from the once viral meme blog 'Look at this Effing Hipster', but in fact a dangerous bank robber who has been terrorizing local banks, scaring employees not only with his totally alt look, but more importantly, his bank robbing skills.
The police probably want him dead, not just for his ironic fashion and nonchalant attitude towards life, but because he is robbing banks and is a danger 2 society. Do u think he is a legit hipster, or just 'a minority dressed as a hipster'?
Would a true alt rob a bank? Is this the plot to 'Airheads', except with buzzbands?
The Portland Police Bureau is asking for the public's help in the search for the "Hipster Bandit," who is responsible for two bank robberies in Northeast Portland.
Officers responded to the first robbery on Friday, Aug. 31 at the Albina Community Bank on Northeast Sandy Boulevard. Bank employees told police the suspect presented a demand note and left with an unknown amount of cash.
"He probably spent the money on American Apparel, yall!" -blogjoke circa 2k8
The second robbery took place Friday, Oct. 19 at the Key Bank on Northeast Broadway. Officers learned the suspect told the teller that he had a weapon before getting away with cash.
"The only weapon he probably had was a vinyl record player!" -hipster meme blog joke circa 2k9
The suspect is described as a white man, possibly Asian, in his 20s or early 30s, about 5'8", with a thin build and dark hair. He was last seen wearing a dark ski hat, glasses, dark clothing and carrying a messenger bag. Employees at both banks told police he looked like a hipster.
'Good luck finding him in Portland! That place is the Hipster Capital of the Great NorthWest! U ever see Portlandia? So funny bc it is true. LOL. Seriously, go there! It is JUST like the TV show!' -blog joke circa 2k4-2k11
Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest in this case and you can remain anonymous.
'They should offer free PBR and Sparks for hipsters to snitch on other hipsters!' -blog joke circa 2k7.9.
Does he look 'alt'?
Is he more 'EDM' [via Skrillex Glasses]?
What the eff is a hipster?
Will they ever catch the Hipster Bandit?
Will police shoot him dead?
What ever happened 2 the Hipster Grifter?
