Another benefit of the Warner/Kaine Tradition.
And AGAIN, I must state:
ANYONE pointing a gun at someone OUTSIDE of self defense should be put away for LIFE.
You point a gun, you intend to take a life. Rule #1! aim to kill.
Stupid people, point a gun at someone for cigarettes?!
Bust them, put them away for life. LIFE!
Come on T/D - give a description of the suspect, maybe even a valiance photo.
I’m glad no one was hurt…
This kind of activity makes me nervous. With more and more people losing their jobs, homes, and means to survive, this may become more common. UGH! It’s a scary thought.
OMG!!! My little cousin works there….
