Most people who stroll into a Chinese restaurant want potstickers, some General Tso’s chicken or maybe an order of moo shu pork. But the dood who walked into the China Kitchen restaurant in Columbia South Carolina around closing time recently had cabbage on his mind.
The first clue there was a problem: he was dressed in black, wore a mask, and was holding a gun. When he demanded cash . . .
One employee tried to grab the gun away from the man.
A struggle ensued and another employee shot the burglar, according to police. That other employee was carrying his own gun, police said.
Let’s see if we have this right. This was a masked, armed robber holding a gun on some restaurant workers. They then fought back and one of them who had a concealed handgun shot the criminal in self-defense.
That’s a real black swan event. We know that because we’ve been reliably told by the smartest people that situations like such as this virtually never happen. Huh.
Anyway . . .
When police arrived on the scene at the Forest Drive restaurant at about 11 p.m. Thursday, they found a man on the ground who had been shot in the upper body, according to the statement. …
The suspected robber was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to the statement.
According to the report from thestate.com, the employee with the gun who shot the masked man won’t be charged. That’s because (s)he had reasonable fear of death or grievous bodily harm and was defending himself and his co-worker. That’s pretty much the textbook definition of justifiable self-defense.
All’s well that ends well.
No picture of the perp? It’ll show up as his family will want to sue someone. LOL Glad no one else was harmed.
His fortune cookie said “you might die today”
With Six You Get Eggroll.
Excellent!
He came in for “take out”, and was then taken out. Excellent.
I did a quick search, but couldn’t find a picture or name for the deceased criminal. I am surprised that none of his relatives have come forward saying “No one had the right to shoot him just because he was robbing a restaurant, he was about to enter college, he was an aspiring rapper...”
LOL Give it time. A family member will come forward.
With Eggroll, Robber Get Six in the Gut.
That's a shame. He's gonna miss next week's special.
Yeah, but two hours later he came back alive.
An armed robbery gone good.

You can’t make this stuff up.
An hour later, they shot him again.
