Awesome. Good to hear that the citizen got the upper hand over the criminal today.
"They did not get anything from the salesman, Hobson said. "
I'd say two of them got plenty.
Sweeeeeeeeettttttttttt justice!!!!!!!!
I'm glad that the people lying face-down on the pavement were the ones who deserved to be, for a change.
It's a good thing the salesman wasn't coming off Beale Street, eh?
Well, they got something, all right, but copper and lead wouldn't have quite the value they were hoping for.
At least to them.
Well with the price of ammunition these days (especially self defense ammunition) they might have walked away with something quite valuable. What I want to know is why the perps didn't stick around to pick up the brass? That stuff is worth a mint!
The brass may be worth a fair amount, but it's worthless without the primers. Which, I understand, are still in short supply, backordered, even. So, does that then make the brass worthless??
