The owner of a landmark Milwaukee polka bar said the business will be open Friday night, following a Thursday night shooting that killed a would-be robber. Andy Kochanski, who owns Kochanski's Concertina Beer Hall at 1920 S. 37th St. on the city's south side, told reporters Friday that three armed men tried to rob the establishment while he and two customers were inside. He fired at the robbers, killing one of them. "I did what I had to do to protect myself and my customers," Kochanski told WTMJ-TV early Friday. Milwaukee police confirmed Friday afternoon that three suspects tried to rob Kochanski at gunpoint when Kochanski grabbed a gun and shot one of the robbery suspects, a 23-year-old Milwaukee man, who died at the bar. The two other suspects fled, Lt. Mark Stanmeyer said.

Snif! I so love a happy ending!
Who in the world would rob a polka bar? There must be tons of hip-hop bars and we know they are passive, never-stand-your-ground types!

Before this news hit the air most of the country never knew there even was such a thing as a Polka Bar.

Robbing a polka bar--that's a new for me.
In fact, robbing a bar is stupid. Stealing from a bank, I can understand. There is much to steal--bonds, jewelry, but a polka bar? You can bet that most of the receipts are credit card. A polka bar? Bwaaaaahahaha.
