I may stop on the way home for a pizza this week and shake this man's hand! With all the robberies, thefts, burglaries, etc. going on in Richmond lately, this was bound to happen. Maybe the scumbags will hear about this and take notice, robbery is a very dangerous occupation.
Best Pizza place in Richmond bar none. It's a little mom and pop place on the southside of Richmond- just carry out/delivery, if you've never been,and are in the area- stop in.
Glad to see that owner, or none of the girls were hurt. I hate to see that the nice man who always waits on me had to take someones life in the defense of his own, but I'd hate it alot worse to see his picture in the paper with the words "Murder Victim" in the caption.
I wondered about such a scenerio a while back when picking-up a pizza- they don't accept debit/credit cards, and are always busy the couple of days a week they are open. That equated to a lot of cash on hand to me, and I'm honest.
What a shame, Richmond was a nice place when I was a kid, and I'm not even 40!
That always pissed me off. Basically, they say it would be cheaper for the company if you to die on the job instead of the family of the robber suing us in civil court. Just remember, here at pizza inc. our bottom line is worth more than you life.
I guess it wouldn't be so bad if the judges in these cases had the sense to throw these suits out. Just say, the guy made a wrong and bad decision that cost him his life and the defendant is not at fault.
The one thing that gripes me about the story, toward the end, it refers to the criminal as the "victim" who was taken to the hospital where he died. EXCUSE ME? But was not the victim of the crime the man who shot in self-defense!?! Would not the criminal be alive this evening if he had chosen not to victimize the pizza place? WTF is the matter with these reporters?
The only victims were the folks being robbed. I guess you could say the thug was a victim of his own stupidity, but that's pretty much the case for any thug that dies in the line of crime.
yeah, I saw that too. Quite annoying. Was the alleged robber allegedly shot by the employee, or was the alleged robber shot by the employee. Dang journalists.
From what the paper has posted online, the BG was shot 3 times in chest/hip area while standing inside at the counter, while sporting a ski mask and gloves- Sounds pretty clear cut to me.
