CBN goes gangsta on your ass!

No, these aren't stills from Ice Cube's "Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It," these are stills from a Christian Broadcasting Network program entitled "Martin Briseno: A Bank Robber Forgiven."

This five minute mini-scarface episode tells the story of Martin Briseno, a self admitted crackhead "who owed a lot of people money." Briseno was desperate for cash so he dashed into his local bank one day and robbed it. According to Briseno, the teller he was pointing his gun at kept uttering the words, "Oh my god, jesus christ" and he found that to be very unusual behavior for a bank teller who had a gun pointed at his face.

Anyway, he managed to get away but didn't realize that some busybody had seen him get into his car and had called the fuzz. The police had his house surrounded by the time he got home, so he decided to run. Well no, he decided to buy a little crack for the road and went to his drug dealer first. The dealer promptly whacked him over the head and stole the money he had just robbed from the bank. At that point Briseno felt "insignificant and like a total failure." He ran away and assumed a new identity.



Then, according to Briseno (or CBN writers) one day his brother walked into the very bank he had robbed and met the teller that Briseno had held up. The teller had a message for Briseno: I forgive you. Bleh! Total Corn...and that's when Briseno found jesus.



Unlikely, but entertaining.
