EASTON, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania woman admits she donned a clown suit and robbed a bank last summer but her motive remains a mystery.

Carolyn Williams apologized Wednesday as she pleaded guilty to felony robbery in Northampton County court.

Williams made off with about $7,000 after wearing the garish outfit, red nose and rainbow wig into a Bethlehem Township bank last August and saying she had a bomb. Williams had claimed she was forced to rob the bank by a kidnapper who had her children.

Williams offered no explanation but said she hoped the judge would understand her actions when further details are released during an August sentencing hearing.

Defense attorney Dwight Danser emphasized in court that Williams was concerned for the safety of her two children at the time of the heist.

Mary, I wouldn’t call Ron Paul a clown – even though the media does. I guess to them, following the constitution and restoring the lost dignity of our nation is a joke.

She got the clown suit idea from Bill Murray in the 1990 film “Quick Change.”

“A Pennsylvania woman admits she donned a clown suit and robbed a bank last summer but her motive remains a mystery.”

Noooo, her motive couldn’t of been the money they keep in banks.

“…forced to rob the bank by a kidnapper” – and she was touched as a child, so anything that she does or that happens to her is not her fault. It is pretty obvious that most US women are victims of something (which gives them an excuse for everything that is wrong with them)….

How could the motive be a mystery? Where do you reporters graduate from? Robbed bank to get money. Wear a disguise so people do not recognize you.

Any bank that is dressed like a clown deserves to be robbed.

This incident should in no way be associated with the obama administration. Just because the perp was Waring the official obama gang uniform doesn’t necessarily mean she’s a member of the gang.
