Incredibly Badassed Criminal Robert Sylvester Brings Gun Battle To The Cops

We at Machochip don’t condone violence, and don’t attempt to glorify it. Sure, Heat is our favorite movie and we’re waiting for Michael Mann’s Johnny Depp vs. Christian Bale shoot-’em-up Dillinger like a tween waiting for the Twilight sequel. But we would never publicly state that it’s cool to be a bad guy… until we met Robert Sylvester. According to reports, Sylvester held up a Check ‘n Go in Bloomington, Illinois and fled police, only to meet with them on the interstate with a cigarette in his mouth and a .45 in his hand. Sylvester was eventually gunned down and taken into custody, but we don’t know the condition of the cigarette. Hopefully it made it out all right.
