Bank robbery is the crime of robbing a bank.
The first bank robbery in the United States took place on March 19, 1831 by Edward Smith who stole $245,000 from City Bank on Wall Street in New York City.
He was caught, convicted, and sentenced to five years in Sing Sing prison.
The Norrmalmstorgrobbery occurred in Sweden in 1973, and was famous for two reasons:
The most widely publicized myth about the robbery, or rather about the Stockholm syndrome, was that one or both robbers became engaged to their captives.
This is simply not true, and may stem from the language barrier: the phrase "engagera sig i någon" in Swedish, does not mean "to become engaged to someone", but rather "to care deeply about someone" (this sort of resemblance between two words in different languages that are not synonyms is known as a false friend).

Capture-bonding, or social reorientation when captured from one warring tribe to another was an essential survival trait (especially for women) for at least a million years.
An evolutionary psychology explanation for Stockholm syndrome stresses the fact that our ancestors are those who gave up and joined the tribe that had captured them (and sometimes had killed most of their relatives).

In this unique documentary the robbers, Jan-Erik “Janne” Olsson and Clark Olofsson, share completely different versions of what actually happened at the robbery of Kreditbanken on Norrmalmstorg.
Ingemar Krusell, the former police detective who headed the preliminary investigation into the Norrmalmstorg incident, also describe how the police dealt with the situation and why so many misconceptions and untruths had circulated.
The interviews alternate with archive footage, including images from the secret police, which have never before been shown to the public.
The effects of the trauma and abuse are clear here in what one might identify as Hearst's 'compromised survival instincts.' She would rather have stayed with those who had tortured her for nearly two months than risk affronting the SLA.
After initiation, Hearst, dubbed "Tania" by the group, helped in a robbery, but when the SLA lost their power in a fire fight with the Los Angeles Police Department, she was returned to her family.
(4) Unlike the NorrmalmstorgRobbery, she distanced herself from the group and her captors when she returned to her regular life, and insisted that her reasons for joining were purely in self protection.
Eeveee has jogged our memory to what transpired at Kreditbanken in Norrmalmstorg, she has also related it to case of Heiress Patty Hearst, who was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army, and that somehow she later joined the group after her realize.
Her understanding of both the syndrome and the happenings in Israel is not in doubt but it would be unwise to create confusion and mislead people by arguing from a superior point of view and bamboozle readers with terms and quotations and dates.

Plot Outline: This is the true story of the failed bank robbery-cum-hostage taking in a bank at the square Norrmalmstorg in Stockholm, in September 1973.
In the summer of 1973, four hostages were taken in a botched bank robbery at Kreditbanken in Stockholm, Sweden.
At the end of their captivity, six days later, they actively resisted rescue.
The botched bank robbery is simply too mundane to be the source of such an exotic explanation, which really seems to have been more of an attack on the idea of peaceful resolution tactics, particularly when applied to mentally disturbed perpetrators (as if murderers, rapists and armed robbers were not severely dysfunctional).
