I remember when a daring daylight robber tried to get in my car ~ had my young son with me ~ guy was trying to open the door and banging on the windows as I backed out of the space spinning tires.
I didn't know if he had a weapon, but I figured a guy doing that probably had at least a knife.
We still need to see the videos and remember that the women's behavior was counseled against what they, themselves, believed they'd been doing. There's the as yet unsubstantiated claim by store security personnel that they tricked out the scam ~ which is why they called in a report to the cop.
What if they're wrong?
If you are inferring they were morons, I couldn't agree more. When you are judicially banished from Walmart and you return with children in the car to commit a crime, what other rational conclusion can one draw?
