ARNOLD, Mo. - An employee at a pawn shop in Arnold shot and killed a would-be robber Thursday afternoon..
Gun shop, cop bar, pawn shop are all on the list of places only an idiot would try to hold up.
Don’t forget doughnut shops.
LOL. Roger that. Here in Indy a few years ago a couple of thugs from the hood decided to go to the southside suburbs to rob some people. Unfortunately for them they went to a country bar in the most redneck part of town. The first people they accosted in the parking lot shot them dead. I bet 90% of the patrons in that bar were armed.
Verdict: Guilty
Sentence: Being served
I enjoy stories such as this, which have a happy ending.
True.
This would be robber won’t make that mistake again.
Sentence reduced to time served.
I love happy endings...
They would have better luck robbing a police station.
So much for casing the joint ahead of time. Had they done so they would have known better. But nobody every said robbers are smart.
That Indianapolis story sounds familiar. What bar was it? And where is “the most redneck part” of Indianapolis? ;o)
Thank you.
While that’s true, the idiots who robbed a local gun shop didn’t thinks so, robbed and killed the owner, arrested and convicted, at least one got the death penalty. Then the good Repbulican Crook Governor of IL (George Ryan) decideded the death penalty was bad or something, and commuted all sentences. So now these scumbags continue to make the surviving family members lives a living hell through their continuous appeals and legal crapola and endless parole hearings.
It happened at a bar in Beech Grove (South side suburb) called “The Grove”.
Where’s the outrage and marches against pawn shops? If the NRA can be blamed for Florida, then pawn shops should be blamed for luring this poor innocent guy in.
Bet anything Conditt’s confession included something about showing anything can be used to kill, not just guns. Of course, we’ll never hear as it doesn’t fit the meme.

YEP! That’s it! It is down the street from the World Famous Beach Grove Walmart. LOL.
Yeah, I’ve bought a LOT of ammo at the Beech Grove Wal-Mart.
The robber should have picked a gun free zone.
