And the good news is, according to my sources, the suspect is circling the drain.

Initial reports are that the clerk's wound was minor, but the suspect's wound was more serious.That's heartening.

What's that smell? Oh, the winds are blowing from Tacoma.
That being said, i'm happy to hear such good news coming from the "City of Destiny."

How brazen can you get? Stealing a vehicle in a store window while customers and clerks are there? This guy was really STUCK ON STUPID!.........

That's kinda confusing.
Police say a clerk at the Shucks Auto Supply near 72nd and Portland streets spotted and then confronted a man putting gas into a small motorcycle in their display window.
So there was a display motorcycle in a display window and that's what he was stealing?

I don't know if it's the same where you are, but in Washington State, auto parts stores sell tons of those 2 stroke mini-motorcycles so it's not surprising someone would try to rip one off.

Sounds like praise is due to the armed customer, too.

A proven fact that gun control works. In other words "hitting the target".

It is VERY important that witnesses are able to say that the shooter gave the criminal a chance.

This article points out the loss of manners in our society. In a polite society a suicide minimizes the involvement of others in the act and subsequent clean up.
That rude lout is no loss.

What's that smell?Ahhhh yes. The aroma of Tacoma! Remember it well from when I was stationed at Fort Lewis.
I remember paying about $25 for a State of WA CCW permit in 1981 and having the perfect right to carry even on post. Nowadays, I hear that's forbidden. All personal firearms have to be locked in the outfit's arms room? What a pantload.
