If there is any wonder why this country is upset about immigration, take a gander at the perps names!

All Romanian family - most likely from the Gypsy culture that prides itself on cunning and questionable means of obtaining money.

Isn't this precious. A group of Romanian immigrants (or are they 'refugees'?) decided to rob churches.

Just looking for a better life, eh?

I wonder how much they have received in taxpayer-funded assistance?
