Oh, goody. What planet, hemisphere, country, or state was this crime commissioned?
no need to be on your list. thanks
What makes you think you're on it?
The big picture.
YIKES.............
The Food Lion where I shop doesn't even have a security guard...........at least not one that I've ever seen.
Good shooting--should slow down anyone in the area who thinks it might be a good idea to rob the Food Lion.
""A lot of police officers around here work as security guards when they're off duty to earn extra money""
Yep, hear that!. My brother was a deputy who worked sometimes as a wrecker driver, I said why, he said, for the insurance, he only had insurance to "cover him in the line of duty". He has a couple kids and a wife to consider. Fortunately, he now is Highway Patrol and gets real insurance like the rest of us. He has a family to take care of, he left his county job for better benefits.
""That's an alleged suspect""
Unfortunately not a "dead" suspect. When you are caught on camera, what more can anyone say?
I'd prefer he was in "intensive morgue", than "intensive care"
See, gun control works.
The ones that I shop at don't have them either. Chesapeake is pretty safe overall.
But most of all, you know what's awful, that there has to be an armed security guard in a grocery store. Sad.
Well, my brother-in-law does it to pay for his Harley. :-)
You're right. It is a shame.
it's pretty safe around here as well............as long as you're not a migrant worker. It seems most of the shootings and stabbings involved them, but usually occur at the camps or some of th out of the way "convenience stores" that cater to them. I just avoid those places after dark.......
The moral of this story is that security guards need larger calibre guns.
Isn't that what husbands are for? Especially when it's 11:00 pm and you've just smoked your last cigarette and have come to the shocking realization that you aren't going to have any to go with your coffee when you get up in the morning. ;-)
Thanks for the ping. Keep me on the list. It's heartening to see justice done, it ain't pretty, but it's right.
I'm here in Omaha and several of the pricier grocery stores have off duty city uniformed cops in them.
