I loved that video. I used to work in a store just like that, and many beer runs were done there. Nice to see idiots not get away with it.

That right there, my friends, is what makes this country great.

Overtime wages for that clerk.

More than likely will get fired.I worked one while waiting to get on with my first dept. and if they found you with a weapon so much as in your car you were canned,Thats why I only carried a S/W 2"

That figures. No doubt cheaper to insure against a dead clerk than a dead thief.

Not saying I disagree with the outcome, but what threat did he have to justify brandishing a firearm? The two appeared to be teenaged girls and they didn't seem to offer any physical resistance or pose a threat.

I guess someone should play the devil's advocate.

You don't know.

Rather safe than sorry.

What happens when you say "excuse me you can't do that" and one of them shoots you?

Why in hell do we have to be nicey, nicey to criminals?

Cute but he let them get way too close to him and that weapon. Cute may get him killed someday.

I'll take "the God-given right to protect my stuff from other people" for a 1000, Alex.

Don't get me wrong here, I don't think he was totally wrong, but I can see the two thugettes (actually, their lawers) turning this around on him if something would have turned out differently.
