NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Two men walked into a packed east Nashville restaurant and robbed it at gunpoint, forcing 40 people to the ground.
Metro police said around 11 p.m. Wednesday, two men with what looked like pantyhose over their heads walked into the Holland House on West Eastland Avenue.
One of the suspects was holding a sawed off shotgun and the other had a handgun.
About 40 customers were forced onto the floor.
"When you have someone willing to come in and try and control 30 to 40 people in any type of setting, obviously there's a propensity for violence in those acts," Metro Police Capt. Chris Taylor said. "Just if by chance if they make a mistake, have their finger on the trigger and it goes off, the chances of somebody getting hurt are 10 fold."
The men stole some of the customers' items but focused mainly on the restaurant's money.
"The first thing that came to mind was, ‘Are my neighbors OK, was my staff OK.' Thankfully everyone was," owner of Holland House Terrell Raley said.

Tarantino’s fault!
East Nashville is nothing but a Haven for Crack Dealers and Prostitutes protected by Mayor Karl Dean and District Attorney Torry Johnson. The Police Chief Ronal Serpas was running a protection racket for the drug dealers. Nashville Judge Tom W. Brothers was indicted for drug money laundering.

I looked at their website. It appears to be run by the Anti-gun crowd.

One of my favorite movies of all time!
Look for two men with pantyhose on their heads. Can't be too many like that.
Always copy & paste to post the same thing twice. I don’t like Dean or Johnson or Serpas, either, but that doesn’t make all of East Nashville what you describe it as. What? Are you in the real estate business on the other side of the river?
I can almost 99.99% guarantee that the perps were SPLIBS!

Nice link, smokingfrog.
Do you think Mikado's Japanese Steak House understands criminals will ignore the 'no guns' rule?

Well, I think I would have tried to head shoot the shotgun fool first, then try to take out the other idiot with a head shot. These scum will try this again ... but it better not be around these parts. We tote regardless of laws.
Maybe they got some ninjas workin’ the hibachi.
My grandmother lived in Madison so I watched as East Nash sunk to what it is today.Shame too,there are some beautiful homes just right off Gallatan Rd.
So much for me visiting anytime soon;but I still think Washington,D.C. is the MOST DANGEROUS city because what happens there negatively affects everyone in the world.
One of my favorite movies. Happy New Year!
Willie Brown once wrote about Oakland.....if you’re dining out there, be sure and order the soup - that way you’ve got someplace to hide your jewelry when the place gets robbed.
20 years ago before DA Torry Johnson, Judge Tom W. Brothers and Mayor Karl Dean turned Nashville into a mecca for Drug Dealers and muslim pimps, Nashville was rated one of the best places to live in America.
Now Nashville is the 7th Most Dangerous City in America.
