I think I've said this before. Any store , especially the small convience ones that are open late at night should: have a male that knows and will use a weapon. We cannot allow this to keep happening. Set the example people take back your country and your city. If you don't , I have no pity on you or your family.
ReplyDeleteHere we go again. Just like with the string of bank robberies. It will go on for a long time before these clowns slip up and get caught.
ReplyDeleteArmed convenience store employees usually end up dead in the event of armed robbery.
ReplyDeletemaybe NOT!

4:51 like you really know what you are talking about. What kind of anedoctal evidence do you have to back up you bullshi- claim? Huh? I have NEVER heard of an "armed" employee ending up "dead". If we all had open carry capabilities such as Texas and Florida, we could intimidate the punks into submission. If you are not willing to do this, then you are just as punky as they are and should be tazered in your testicles.
ReplyDeleteFor the safety of the employee--I believe any store open after a certain hour and manned alone should have a turnstyle that items can be placed in after purchase...behind bullet proof glass. No...we shouldn't HAVE to protect ourselves like this but we sure would be happy we did if it even saved one life.
ReplyDeletethis is completely unacceptable, where is video of these robberies.
ReplyDeleteWhy does it have to be a male employee? I am female and although I don't work in a convenience store, I am quite confident if armed, I wouldn't be the injured/dead one!
ReplyDeleteOur town is in real trouble. Maybe the police can get volunteers to keep an eye out on the convenience stores at night, particularly retired police or sheriff officers or retired military who may want to help out in their retirement. We need more plain clothed officers making patrols at the convenience stores too. Hope things turn around.
ReplyDelete8:08...the old "lets make all the good and innocent citizens go through searches, checkpoints, turnstiles, and hide behind bullet proof glass so that one of us may live" argument....Next, you'll be advocating curfews so that we don't expose ourselves to the criminal element that creeps around at night!! That feelgood, liberal, "lets all be safe" no matter what rights and priviledges we have to give up crap is exactly THAT---- crap.
