NORCROSS, Ga. – Police are searching for a man who used a pitchfork to rob a Waffle House restaurant northeast of Atlanta.

Norcross police say 50-year-old Jeffery Wooten entered the diner in Norcross, Georgia, Thursday night and forced people toward a back room. He then grabbed the cash register.

WSB-TV reports that the suspect dropped the pitchfork while carrying that cash register back to his truck.

Two restaurant workers followed the robber outside, grabbed the abandoned pitchfork and used it to smash a window on the robber's truck as he escaped, possibly injuring the suspect.

Well, that escalated quickly.

I’m surprised no one shot him. Must not have been very late.

[When do we get liberated?]

or just straight up whooped his ass for fun. This is waffle house!

[Kickass Conservative]

Wait. A Waffle House in Georgia full of people and nobody had a Gun? Isn’t that against Natural Law or something?

Didn’t Georgia just pass Constitutional Carry?

[Irenic]

They’re getting creative, last week it was robbery by potato.

[MulberryDraw]

This guy is needed in Washington DC, along with some tar and feathers.

Police have released a sketch of the perp.

Norcross Waffle House?

That's not narrowing it down much.

For example, if they simply mean "near Greater Atlanta Christian School" in Norcross, that limits it to the one across the street, and the one across I-85 near Lowe's. Norcross locations on Buford Highway, Peachtree Industrial, Jimmy Carter (2), Brook Hollow . . .

He’s in Miller’s Cave.

Using a big fork for a high stack

Pitchforks should be limited to three tines. No one needs a four tine high capacity pitchfork.

[Old Yeller]

Maybe someone told him to head over to the White House with pitchforks and he thought they said Waffle House.

“Didn’t Georgia just pass Constitutional Carry?”

No but there is a lot of concealed carry. I’m surprised somebody didn’t draw down on him.

I'm going to throw in a GA FReeper ping on this one, just because it's a good time to note that Waffle House corporate now has a serious business food truck that will come cater your event. We had them in for breakfast last Saturday for a neighborhood fun run/walk event, and it was VERY good!

Apparently this thing is new in the last 6 months or so.

More pics of the truck here.

I want the truck to come to me, every morning, free.

[Gaffer]

How much did it cost you? Was there a minimum? Do they require a certain number of attendees?

[morphing libertarian]

That truck is almost as big as the restaurants.

I would miss the waitresses standing 5 feet from the cook and yelling out the order.

[Gaffer]

The three prong is more deadly.

[FreedomPoster]

You can tell we’ve all been to Waffle House.

And no, Kickass Conservative, our legislators didn’t pass Constitutional carry, but they did open up the places where licensed concealed carry is allowed quite a bit, removing a number of previously restricted locations.

Also, see my previous with the pic.
