Obviously, the shop owner is a profiling racist.

Wow, he is obviously used to keeping his cool under pressure!

lostinfrance on August 25, 2007 at 4:52 PM

The way the guy was holding that Gun seems like he needs this:

Drive By School.

-Wasteland Man.

P.S. As a Former Conveinience store clerk let me just say GO GET’EM!!!!!!! yee haa

WastelandMan on August 25, 2007 at 4:54 PM

Sweet! Would have preferred the clerk pull out a Glock instead, but that’s a quibble. Nice work.

locomotivebreath1901 on August 25, 2007 at 4:50 PM

That was so unnecessary, i don’t even think you had a point there. Why can’t we just be happy that the shop owner was able to scare away the thug instead of making dumb remarks

mainmann on August 25, 2007 at 5:02 PM

It’s a cultural thing

New sign for this store:
Ask the clerk about a free can of Whoop-Ass with every order.

The second guy with the do-rag, was that Michael Vick?

Marcus Vick, maybe?

JammieWearingFool on August 25, 2007 at 5:15 PM

Clerk should of had some 2nd amendment rights with him.

Give it a couple of years and both will be true.

Zaire67 on August 25, 2007 at 5:32 PM

Happy to amuse you.

Marcus Vick does have an association with certain weaponry.

JammieWearingFool on August 25, 2007 at 5:34 PM

I would like to see flame throwers mounted at the counter.
Napalm, insurance for good manners.

TheSitRep on August 25, 2007 at 5:48 PM

Maybe the robber lost his nerve or maybe it was a fake gun and the clerk knew it.

In other words don’t bring a baseball bat to a gunfight unless you can strike meat on the first swing even if you have Kevlar undies on.

Still pretty gutsy though, the second guy was kinda wha happn, oh better run now.

The article says:

Friends and neighbors joined the chase and helped corner one of the men until police arrived and arrested him.

Nice to see a change from that dreadful scene in Minneapolis the other day.

Yeah, I was thinking .50 cal machine gun.

At the very least a taser gun. Much more entertaining to watch the beligerent jughead piss his pants.

CurtZHP on August 25, 2007 at 6:59 PM

Awesome. Did you get a load of how he was swingin’ that bat!! That dude must be related to Smeato!

RushBaby on August 25, 2007 at 7:15 PM

That shop owner must be part Samurai the way he whipped out that bat!

urbancenturion on August 25, 2007 at 7:40 PM

Wow! that was too cool.

We need to perfect caseless ammo.

TheSitRep on August 25, 2007 at 8:18 PM

12 ga double barrel loaded with 3″ 00 mounted under the counter ala Kurt Russell in “Tombstone”

Frantic Freddie on August 25, 2007 at 9:26 PM

Excellent. Too bad he didn’t get to beat them seriously with that bat.

Jaibones on August 25, 2007 at 11:02 PM

No balls and one strike.

It’s outa here!

profitsbeard on August 26, 2007 at 2:42 AM

The Yankees could use this guy.

ajmontana on August 26, 2007 at 7:34 AM

That clerk is luckier than he obviously can understand, that he’s not laying there moaning in a pool of his own blood. DUMB! For any of you other wannabe hero’s – just give ‘em the $50 in the register and pray you get to go home after – UNLESS you are carrying a pistol of your own! For your own sake, use some judgement!
