Yep. A man died while trying to rob a store. The fact that he might die in the commission of this crime probably did not enter his mind. Maybe it will be considered as a possibility in the future to the next generation of robbers. You may not survive your crime. You may be dead as a doornail at the end of the night. Of course, that presumes that these low-lifes know something about death. Doubt it.

Makes me think of something. Involves a bitch and karma.

Moral of the story: The owner may be a candyass from Romulus, but the customers might be from Highland Park!

You mean all convenience store robbers in the past never considered the possibility that a store clerk or owner might possess a gun?

They all got weapons, but the robber has the jump on them. Ever had a gun stuck in your face? Trust me - you won't be thinking about playing quick draw.

The robber can't keep a gun in your face and flee the scene at the same time.

I mean they can point it at you up until they turn around and run.

Well, I've never robbed a party store so I don't know the answer to that one. I would imagine they lock up the cashier or tie up the clerk or something. I don't think the guy doing the robbery just says goodbye, turns around and leaves.

who needs a CCW?? see...... any law abiding citizen unable to legally obtain a right to carry permit can simply disarm and subdue any would be attacker..... so what if only the criminals are armed in our society!!!!

Kudos to the customer. Shoot these f____g criminals.

I used to work in the Metroplex Industrial Park across Ecorse from the Super Y back in '85-'86 and cashed my check there often.

The kicker is that the accomplices can be charged with Felony Murder.

Good! Two more dirtbags less!

if you shoot a robber in the back...guess whos going to jail...

[DetroitPlanner]

How does a man without arms grab a gun? It takes a dirty rotton sort of criminal to shoot some guy that has no arms!

He deserves a key to the city!
