On Monday morning, a robber walked into an Atlanta Waffle House and pointed a gun at patrons. The crook was wearing a bandana and hoodie, according to reports.
Everyone in the restaurant undoubtably saw their lives flash before their eyes. That is, until one Waffle House patron pulled out his own gun and fired at the bandit.
The suspect is Ashton Macafee, 20. After entering the Waffle House, he screamed. “Nobody move and open the cash register!” The incident happened around 2am in south Fulton County.
The man who fired back at Macafee, and likely saved the lives of some innocent patrons, was an off-duty security guard named Evans Chad Pollard. He fired two shots at Macafee, hitting him both times. Pollard said, “I felt that not only my life, but everyone’s life was in danger, so I had to do what I had to do. Everybody was scared and when I eliminated the threat, everyone felt calm. He came in and I did what I could.”
He continued, “As soon as he pointed [the gun] at us I’m like, I thought I was going to die right there.”
Pollard said he used to be a firefighter before becoming a security guard.
Macafee did not die as a result of the gunshots, but he is currently in critical condition in the hospital.
Thankfully, Pollard has not been charged with anything for shooting the crook. This man is a hero, and should be treated as such.
Two body shots should ALWAYS be followed by a head shot. The “Mozambique Drill” stops crooks, dead. . . (grin)
on a lighter note, I am reminded of Jim Gaffigan’s routine on the Waffle House, including his noting that “I have seen a gun five times in my life. Three of them have been at a Waffle House.”

“Nobody move and open the cash register!”
But how can I open the register if I can’t move?
I’m sorry, wouldn’t a friendly, “Hey, can you pass the syrup when you’re done?” have sufficed?
I say “Boycott all Waffle Houses” until they provide better a better “Rules of Waffle Etiquette” on each and every menu. I they da2%#ed well better not be in cursive!
I’m so sick of this...
Should read, “And they da2%#ed well better not be in cursive!”
With apologies to the charming, intelligent Rachel Jeantel...
Wonder how many hours this genius spent in front of a mirror to come up with that one.
It's OK, I understand he has excellent health insurance that will pick up the entire cost. It's called the Grady Memorial Hospital siphon on the taxpayers of Fulton County - premium gold plan.
You forgot the /sarc tag.

Our first ping!!!
(I have a feeling that a very small amount of WH pings will be regarding the subject matter of great food! lol)
Doc, please see Slings profile page for list logo. Or at least the logo we’re using now.) I’m sure a better one will be found or created at some point).
Just tack the bill to the end of his missed baby-daddy payments.
In fact, I could back a law that any/all medical bills encored during the commission of a crime must be immediately paid and cannot be discharged in bankruptcy (like student loans).
Still beats the classic “OK, motherstickers, this is a f***up!”
not if you practice.....
FReepmail me or KoRn to get on or off the Waffle House Ping List.
