Meh...I don't think this tact will work so well for attracting people to your faith.

Loons are everywhere these days, Goodwill of all places.

I would do terrible in that situation...

"Allah Akbar!"

"I know.."

"Allah Akbar!!!"

"I know...I love Him and He loves me as weird as that sounds..."

"ALLAH AKBAR!!!"

"AGREED!!! Now are you gonna swing that blade or join me in a chorus of Amazing Grace?"

I've responded to a few Goodwill robberies over the years. I'm always a little amazed. Goodwill? Really? A robbery is a robbery, at least go somewhere that's worth the charge.

Seriously? I've been known to check out the thrift store occasionally....and I've ALWAYS found some loons there.

I always figured you and the boys carved your own.....

Seems like a good way to get shot.

I would imagine Goodwill is one place where a majority of customers still pay with cash rather than plastic. And I can't say I've ever seen anyone there that is easily identified as security or loss prevention.

I can see why some might consider a Goodwill or other thrift store as a soft target.

I'll not identify the chain, but there's a very cash heavy business with no security that has an incredibly bad floor plan for security. It's like a robber designed it.

Goodwill is not what I would hit unless I just needed money for the laundromat.

Big brave guy, robs a place run by little old ladies and handicapped people that sells used t shirts for a quarter. Pretty soft and insignificant target, even for his social circle. I'll bet he does not get nominated for terrorist of the year.

 

[Woobie]

The Muslim Center is right across the parking lot from that Goodwill. Maybe he got fired up and hit the first place he saw.

A shoo-in for Mensa membership.

So in the report it said that it may have started over a refusal to convert to Islam. Not a really well thought out plan. "Join my religion or I will beat the **** out of you!" Makes me want too sign right up!

 

[BugI02]

Pow pow pow. I thought he had a knife. Pow. ... Pow

Consider the source.

My guess would be some of these check cashing/payday loan establishments.

If criminals were smart, they wouldn't be criminals.
