Ever heard of the "Stockholm syndrome"?

In the summer of '73 there was a bank robbery in the house in the background of this Blip. It didn't go according to plan, several of the staff were held hostage for many days. It must have been awful.

The robber demanded that a well known prisoner should be released and transported to the bank wich was approved. Of course, that prisoner quickly became part of the crime.

Finally when the Police succeded to break in to the bank and set the hostage free it turned out that the hostage seemed to be more loyal to the two men than the Police. I think thats a fair description what the Stockholm Syndrome is.

Today a huge statue of the guy from the prison was placed in front of the bank, you can see him on the Blip. It turned out that it was placed there to promote a new series on Netflix about that robbery. I assume that it will be gone soon enough.
