worset store in town for robberies Should let the clerks have a big dog or a bat or a gun. Lets see if the clerks had a gun could be they won't be robbed as much. Oh but wait than we would be interfering with the right of the crimnal element to rob us.
How did he get in the store? I thought that Grants law was suppose to prevent this. Reason that I say this is that the Mohawk on central & Range road husky does not allow anyone in the store after Midnight. All transactions are done thru a little window during the early hours.
















Should install the trap, like the beer store at 5th and tabor.
My heart goes out to these employees who work in high-risk places like 7-11 and cold beer and wine stores. That 7-11 on Queensway has been robbed so many times. They seriously need to increase security for their employees or relocate. But then again what area in PG is really safe anymore? I live close to the 7-11 on Queensway and go there lots. But I would rather see their employees safe then have it be convenient for me.
Another crack head wanting money for his fix. We need to build a gas chamber. Less problems that way.
If there are two people on shift, then a store didn't have to put in the physical barricades like what the gas stations did. So it just means two people get injured instead of one :)
maby the employees should have fake (real like) guns to scare these scum bags to death. Actually a taser would be more appropiate. Most of the robbeers are druggies so a jolt from a taser gun would probably kill them as a side reaction. that means, less money spent on the justice system and policing in the long term. And lowef taxes (in my dreams).
what a great idea to arm private citizens with non-lethal self defense devices. Too bad that only law enforcement are permitted to have and carry them. Oh and gangsters to.

A 110 db siren hooked to a foot switch could be helpful.

There is no law restricting a fixed blade size, one can carry any size blade as long as it is not concealed, so a huge sword is permitted.

;->
Have to pay a lot more to expect employees to get in a gun/knife/bat fight. Cheaper & safer to give knife wielding scum what they want & let the cops (lol) sort it out.
Employees should not HAVE to protect themselves from thieves. Its the courts and the police that are supposed to do that. I think we tend to try to look for other solutions because we have given up on the cops and judges. That is a BIG MISTAKE! Lets keep telling it like it is, until someone in charge listens up and: A puts more cops on the street. B: toughens sentences for repeat offenders and C: hands these sentences outlike candy, without all the early release B.S..
If thats gonna fill up the jails build some more jails. Want more taxes for the extra jails? I will pay it willingly as long as they dont have golf courses and such.
We are clearly getting desperate when we would rather suggest the stores hire Rambo, or only do business thru bullet proof glass rather than repeat, one more time our desire for more law enforcemet and justice.
Why build more jails. Other countries put more than one person in each cell. Put a whole bunch in and let them decide who gets the bunk.
