Yep. Now this lesson needs to be applied to Chicago many times over.
Like there are a bunch of fake shotguns out there. People are pretty clueless.
If it's one of the robbers he is not a victim.
Ummm, no, a robber can't be a "victim". The person or people he tried to rob are victims, even if they ended up with not a scratch on them and not missing any of their property. If the robber got shot, he's just someone who got what he deserved, because he freely made a choice to do something that rendered him deserving of getting shot.
Bet their Mama’s think they are! (Victims)
The Amish robbers Mama’s Always think their boy’s .. are Good Boys!
State?
Well, in a sense they ARE victims of their Mama's lousy parenting, but that happened long before they got shot while trying to commit a crime.

Thanks.
Oops, sorry. I just saw Omaha in the article. How did I miss that?
