A Robbery Gone Awry

An armed robber was killed on camera as he tried to hold up a gun store by its 64-year-old owner. Surveillance footage at Dixie Gun and Pawn in Mableton, Georgia, showed the moment the would-be criminal and an accomplice stormed into the store dressed in ski masks. They aimed their guns towards an employee who held his hands up in a plea for mercy before store owner Jimmy Groover opened fire. The 64-year-old grandfather reached for his own gun and shot one of the robbers dead while the other ran for his life.

I read this piece and realized robbers are pretty stupid. If I wanted to take down an establishment I'd go to Mary Lanes Fine Furs or Kathy's House Of Lace. Doesn't it seem ridiculous to attempt armed robbery at a gun shop? From the get go these clowns had two strikes against them. And it's not like the owner only had a bb gun under the counter. 

Darwin's theories continue to live on.
