Red Skull Bank Robber Stopped By Jewish Vigilantes

Captain America was a popular film. Almost too popular?

This mask, currently available online as a Red Skull mask, was used by one Kevin Crawford to rob a bank in Brooklyn of $8000 before he was arrested after onlookers followed him and then surrounded him, held by the Borough Park Shomrim, one of a number of unarmed, Hasidic patrols – without masks. He'd previously robbed a Wiliamsburg bank of almost $2000, and another in Fort Greene though he left empty handed.

Though considering Red Skull as a German Nazi, and Joe Simon and Jack Kirby as the two Jewish creators of Captain America, it does seem a rather delicious ending to his crime spree.
