"Hitler-Like" Mustache Made Robber Too Recognizable

Djamil Aziz

And this is why sporting a "Hitler" mustache is never a good idea. Police busted serial bank robber Djamil Aziz in Greenwich Village on Saturday night after recognizing his "Hitler-like mustache" on a surveillance camera. "What really caught their eye was his mustache and his height. He's...tall, 6-foot-2, with a Hitler-like mustache," one source told the Post.

Police assigned to the 6th Precinct Cabaret Unit caught Aziz while monitoring video at the NYPD Mobile Command Center at Washington Square Park. On April 6th Aziz allegedly demanded cash from a bank teller at a West Village Chase Bank before fleeing on foot. He is believed to have hit four Manhattan banks and one Brooklyn bank, stealing around $10,000 total. You'd think with that kind of cash he could afford a razor! We'll be here all week.

That's a total pederast stache. I'd be more afraid of him hanging by a schoolyard than a bank. We demand a correction.

This photo doesn't represent a Hitler 'stache at all.

This is why when I commit a crime, I go with the Dirty Sanchez. Easily recognizable, a vicious attack on the olfactory receptors, and easily removed for full chameleon effect.

That mustache doesn't look "Hitler-like."

Joshua Zeisel

That's why it's "Hitler-like." And not a Hitler stache. Like meaning similar but not the same. Geeze.

So anyone who has a stash has a Hitler-like stash.

Jeez guys, just leave it alone....lol

I know what "Hilter-like" means and I still say the mustache is not Hitler-like. It doesn't look a thing like Hitler's mustache. There's no way it even looks similar.

eflash

i think maybe he just has a very small mouth

robingee

Really, do people even know what Hitler's stashe looked like?

Fofofofofo

Is the one that Michael Jordan is sporting?

robingee

Yeah, what is up with that?

Generally, athletes aren't know to be very educated. Maybe he doesn't know what Hitler looks like, but was all like, "You know what would look really cool? Something like looks like a little poopie by my mouth."

Yeah, I was just gonna say the same thing. We humans just love to put people into catagories and stereotypes even if we have to use a shoe horn.
