Double jeopardy: Bank robber passes TWO companies' ''No-Guns'' signs

This bank robber walked past "no-guns" signs as he entered one of the few remaining 'posted' Kroger stores, and walked past another set of "no-guns" signs as he entered the Fifth Third bank branch which is located inside the Kroger.

Perhaps if the signs had said "no bank robberies"...
