I LOVE this video.
A pharmacist in Spokane, Washington got a little sick and tired of being robbed. Twice. By the same person. So, they got themselves a little can, well a BIG can of bear spray. The guy came back. The third time was not a charm. His buddies ended up calling 911 after he ran out of the store with Wonder Woman on his heels ready to inflict more pain on him.
Kudos for being prepared to fight back. However, the report said they "got serious" and put in eight cameras. Great. Now they will have video of whatever the bad guy decides to do to you before you can respond. Also, less lethal is a good tool, but it doesn't work every time and if you're real serious about your safety you will have a lethal option available.
All in all a great story with a good ending. It's one I can sit and laugh about watching some piece of junk get some return on investment.
Outstanding! :-) Good for them, but what if he comes back with a gun next time...
ReplyDeleteExactly, NFO. I think capsicum sprays can have a place in layers of defense, but I've heard of too many instances where people were not stopped by the stuff to trust them as the only option to protect me.
DeleteThat's great! If the cops got him, I don't think he will be back for awhile. But, once he is out again, or some of his friends decide to "visit" the store. I hope that they have more than just bear spray.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts as well, Flier. Of course, you would hope he is just some sad sack loser that wouldn't do that, but hope isn't a viable strategy.
DeleteI wonder what a nightmare it was to clean that place so its fit for sick people to get their meds again.
ReplyDeleteNext time, do the smart thing and fill is Rx with JHPs. It'll do society good, and belive-it-or-not the clean-up will be easier!
Good point, Weer'd. I'm glad no one came in needing asthma medication. JHPs don't leave any residue.
