My favorite part of the article:



The man with the gun appears to also have shot his accomplice.

I'm surprised the shop keep wasn't arrested for violating the robber's civil liberties and for assault with a deadly weapon. After all hammers and baseball bats kill more people than firearms do don't ya know.

As for the oxygen thief shooting the other one, it gives a whole new meaning to the concept of a "wing man". :D

move along nothing to see here !!!!


I think if I had to pick up a fire extinguisher I might have used it on them ! :)

lovely city !!!!

if I was a store owner and lived in a city like that I would have a can of lighter fluid a hair spray can and lighter spray the guys with the fluid ? I am sure they would be thinking what the heck ! then once the hair spray and lighter comes out :) hahahahha
would make a great video
and then throw the extinguisher at them proving to the jury you tried to put them out :)

Ah, yes. Spring has sprung. Time for batting practice with your wing-ed man.

Those stories were great.

If the clerk could swing that bat like an American that robber would be dead.

Man, tough crowd. He's a tiny guy and frankly played it well, that is DON'T GET SHOT. Even Bryce Harper's swing would look a bit different with someone emptying a mag at him.
