Secrets of the City

max can you edit this to include the story from IGh-foiled robbery?

Done and done.

The cco story broke my heart this morning. Actually choked up reading it.

fixed liquor store link:

Wow. You go to work thinking it’s just another day and then something like that happens. Crazy. I’m glad that guy is OK and sorry the other guy had to die over something so stupid.

When I saw the link, I thought maybe this was going to be the first case of conceal and carry actually proving its value, but I guess not.

I thought so too. A store owner or employees don’t need conceal and carry in their own property, but if they had a gun, only the robber would be on the floor. Hopefully this will give another reason for people to protect themselves with firearms.

“If guns are outlawed, only the outlaws will have guns.”

I’m surprised that anyone still attempts to rob liquor stores, convenience stores or gas stations. With the increasing use of credit & debit cards, there has to be a lot less income potential.

Plus you might get shot.

And, besides, no Champale.

My guess is the thugs who think it would be a good idea to rob a liquor store aren’t really thinking about the economic impact debit cards have had over the last few years.

At least the thief died, that save on his incarceration and a court hearing. One for the good guys.

I wouldn’t consider the fact and innocent man has to live with the fact he killed another human being “one for the good guys”.

I would wager that most criminals are so focussed upon getting the next fix of their particular intoxicant that to them a small cash haul is life changing enough.

But you’d think that if the thugs are coming away with less cash than they used to get, they might turn to other forms of robbery. Sticking people up at ATM machines, for instance. Or robbing banks.

I don’t know for sure but he is alive and the shit head is dead. Remorse in that situation is unlikely.

miller – you got something you want to tell us?

/hides her purse under her desk

Eddie: Oh, and if Tom or anyone else for that matter feels like givin’ them a bit of a kickin’, I’m sure it won’t do any harm.

Soap: Yeah, little bit of pain never hurt anybody. If you know what I mean. Also, I think knives are a good idea. Big, fuck-off shiny ones. Ones that look like they could skin a crocodile. Knives are good, because they don’t make any noise, and the less noise they make, the more likely we are to use them. Shit ‘em right up. Makes it look like we’re serious. Guns for show, knives for a pro.

Tom: Soap, is there something we should know about you?

Bacon: I’m not sure what’s more worrying. The job or your past.

The liquor store near Rainbow on Lake doesn’t take cards, so they must be very cash heavy. Of course, that one is way too busy to hold up I would guess, but you could get an awesome haul on a Saturday night.

What are you planning, Kassie?

The income potential of robbing mb’s purse isn’t what it used to be either.

Unless you are hoping to win the Midol lottery, that is!

lololololol rotflMAO!!!!11

I’m going to kick you in the man purse tonight Teucer.

Oh no, mb, shh! His mother died after getting kicked in the man purse.

Don’t make me rap again, Max.

MB: “I’m going to kick you in the man purse tonight Teucer.”

I called it!

My guess is the thugs who think it would be a good idea to rob a liquor store aren’t really thinking

There’s a reason why these guys are stick up boys to begin with. They are stupid.

or wait, maybe it’s society.

Really Max? Cause I thought I saw her workin’ Lake Street again last night… Something about a 2 for 1 sale as she was hoping to make enough for a 40 of Champale.

Same woman. Dead, but still working.

in all seriousness, it’s too bad that guy had to die, but maybe his friends will see that as a lesson not to be a thug.
In a situation like that, I would have handed over the money instead of trying to fight with the guy, but that’s just me. On the other hand, You never know when they are going to kill you even if you comply with their demands……

Great day in the news for the good guys, an armed citizen faces down a home invader, leading to his capture, and a heroic liquor store employee shoots a scumbag with his own gun.

The story about little Jack absolutely breaks my heart. I am renewing my drivers license this month as an organ donor.

What a story, and it should put just about everything we get “worked up about” into proper perspective.

Same woman. Dead, but still working.

Smell would be the same I guess…

God save the person who gets your heart.

God save the person who gets your heart.
well, that was rude.

You ever worry that Oliver’s mother might actually have died some crazy way, or be a prostitute. I imagine him reading our jokes and just crying and crying.

Sometimes Max, but usually I’m too busy giggling about him being such a cry baby.

That’s just … so … hot.

God save the person who gets your heart.
well, that was rude.

It was, but so are 99.9% of the comments he makes about other people. Max can delete it if he chooses.

seriously…which one of you kind-hearted assholes is posting as bud jr. today?

Bud can stand some ribbing. But good for him for being an organ donor. I agree with him about little Jack.

How can you give what you don’t have?

Yes, I didn’t think I needed to point it out, but I was teasing. Mean-spirited yes, but it was in jest.

I think being an organ donor is a wonderful thing to do. I myself am leaning towards donating my body to science.

Wow, what an opening.

All Charelton Heston donated were his cold, dead, hands.

mb, i am shocked, SHOCKED by your cruelty.

Pun intended.

Your penance is to make a donation to Mpls Childrens Hospital.

In fact, I will match your contribution.

Strike that, I will DOUBLE it.

bud I like your thinking. I’m tapped out right now with the multiple walks I’ve donated to and am participating in. I will remind you of this bet in a few weeks when I have a couple extra $$ laying around to donate.

Shocking indeed…

I worry about being a donor. I always think that I might not get a full, fighting chance before I’m salvaged for parts.

mb has been the recipient of quite a few “organ donations” of late.

mb, are you going to take that laying down?

snicker

HEEEEY OH.

hey oh?

mb: “I think being an organ donor is a wonderful thing to do. I myself am leaning towards donating my body to science.”

I’m afraid the scientific body would swiftly reject your thoughtful donation. I should imagine that Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Odditorium might be interested; their secret Black Files Library, closed to the public by necessity, would probably put a bid in.

Max: “You ever worry that Oliver’s mother might actually have died some crazy way, or be a prostitute. I imagine him reading our jokes and just crying and crying.”

He who lives by the lulz, dies by the lulz.

, are you going to take that laying down

Not necessarily. I’m quite flexible.

(pretty sure i’m seriously going to get fired for today…)

MB: “Not necessarily. I’m quite flexible.”

Let’s let the Ripley’s people decide that, shall we?

Let’s let the Ripley’s people decide that, shall we?

It will be awhile before they can get to me, given the amount of area they need to cover examining your mom.

*Max – watch, I bet he starts crying in his tea again.

Mmm, tea. I wish I had some with me.

Oh man, I’ve had way too much tea today. I’ve had to pee every 15 minutes since noon.

That’s a lot of tea.

You only rent tea.

Mmm, tea. I wish I had some with me.

Pussy…yer in Amerrrica now, drink coffee…hehehe!

I’ve drunk about 4 cups already today.

And I’ll bet is was from a dainty little cup and saucer wasn’t it, fancy man?

Pussy…yer in Amerrrica now, drink coffee…hehehe!

hee hee hee

Cry about it fancy lad

It’s a known fact that that’s why they lost the Revolutionary War. Buncha fancy tea drinkers.

I meant that I’d drunk about 4 cups of my tears. We Brits are used to drinking our tea mixed with salt water in this country.

Kudos to the liquor store employee for choosing to fight, and choosing to survive.

I’ll echo the comments that others have said about one less scumbag to pay to send to trial, to incarcerate and to “rehabilitate” at our cost, only to have them back on the streets in 3 years to commit more crimes. Cheaper to pay for their cremation and the burial of their ashes in some potter’s field.

Stories like this make me glad I have the choice to carry. In fact, I just got one of these. Kind of a “decus et tutamen” thing.

Looks lightweight. Is it made of a lot of composite material that can pass through a metal detector?

Minnesota Monitor gets the scoop on the Archdiocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis barring anti-torture expert [and, the Catholics' problem, pro-choice advocate] Steven Miles from speaking at St. Joan of Arc, but the Strib’s Nick Coleman wins the day by coining a phrase:

Miles got Tutu’d.

That fraud Coleman needs to turn in his rosary.

That fraud Maz needs to decide whether he has actually quit this site or not.

it amazes me that so many people in our (supposedly) enlightened corner of the world would rather curse the darkness than light a candle.

This pretty much confirms to me that the Catholic Church long ago gave up any high ground on moral authority.

Even Paul Wellstone and Jesse Helms managed to set aside their serious differences to work together where their interests coincided.

Looks lightweight. Is it made of a lot of composite material that can pass through a metal detector?

Nope. As a matter of fact the only composite parts are the grips. Everyrthing else feels solid, and picking it up is like hefting a solid piece of steel.

Well, load the damn thing and start shooting like a m#$%@%^&*#$r.
