Crazy Lee in the bank
Why leave Lee to guard unarmed 'civilians'? Their cover is blown anyway, and Lee is arguably more use to them outside.
I think the most likely answer to that, Halmyre, is that Pike considers CL to be a dangerous nutter :-). He deliberately leaves him behind, partly so he can't accidentally shoot any members of the Bunch, and partly, I suspect, because he's such a liability the Bunch would be better off were he to be killed or captured.
When Sykes tells Pike after the abortive robbery that CL was his grandson, Pike is clearly angry - which shows that he would have treated him differently had he known.

If they move, kill em!
Crazy as he is, Lee is at least deferential towards Pike, and not any more crazy than Angel or Lyle. It's also somewhat at odds with Pike's subsequent viewpoint:
"We're not gonna get rid of anybody! We're gonna stick together, just like it used to be! When you side with a man, you stay with him! And if you can't do that, you're like some animal, you're finished! *We're* finished! All of us!"
Interestingly enough, having 'got rid' (or at least left him behind) of Lee, they do end up 'finished'.
Good points, Halmyre. But personally I think we are supposed to believe that CL is actually crazier than the rest of the Bunch, who are all crazy to some extent - living the dangerous lifestyle they do.
As for Pike's "mighty fine talk about sticking together", there is, I think, a deliberate irony at work here. Pike has failed to live up to his own ideals, and he knows it. This is one of the movie's major themes - loyalty, principles, keeping your word.
Part of what motivates Pike, Dutch, Lyle and Tector to go back for Angel, and then to their deaths at the end, is their collective realisation that they have consistently failed to live up to their supposed ideals. This is all beautifully summarised, largely without words, in the scenes in and outside the brothel at the end. Pike says "Lets' go," and Lyle responds "why not?" Tector and Dutch don't even need to speak, they just smile their agreement. Time to go and make amends for the failure of their lives.
If they move, kill em!
Wouldn't Pike have known that Lee was Sykes' grandson before then? Seems odd that he wouldn't.
