Tell us about your idiot relatives

[Gemini Cricket]

Let's see. There's also the story of my 2 cousins:

Albert Batalona

and

Bernard Crivello

Albert (Al Ray) held up an American Savings Bank in Kahala Mall and fired his semi-automatic at officers reporting to the scene. They found him and his gang because one of them left their grocery store card a car they abandoned. Al Ray escaped from prison after being sentenced to life without parole. They caught him...
An interesting tidbit about Al Ray is that he and his friends cased a Bank of Hawaii that I was working at 2 weeks before the robbery. The idea was to rob my bank, until they found out I was working there. They changed their minds and robbed the Kahala bank instead.
Another interesting tidbit. The officer investigating the incident was also a cousin of mine. My family: cops and robbers... and sometimes both.


Bernard (Chachi) was shot in the head by a cop while he was high on crystal meth. He tried to run over a policeman with a stolen car. My aunt, of course, is suing the cop for defending himself.
At the hospital, I went to see grandma at Bernard's bedside. He was on the bed as is. Repeat... as is. My cousin's head looked like a red flower. It was not pretty.
