A gunbattle inside a North Park marijuana dispensary midday Friday left a robber dead and a security guard wounded, police said.

Two men with handguns held up the shop to steal marijuana San Diego police homicide Lt. Manual del Toro said. Del Toro described the fleeing robber as a black man in his 20s, about 6 feet tall, 190 pounds, and wearing a blue hoodie.

Around the corner, at Holistic Health Gurus, office worker Michael Adams arrived after the shooting and was surprised to hear what happened.

"Ray Street is very artsy," Adams said. "It's very surprising to have any sort of violence. This is a diverse community of psychics, natural healers and galleries."

I’m glad they were only robbing a place that sold legal marijuana. Imagine what it would be like if they robbed a place that sold “illegal” marijuana.

Oh the horror of it.

See: Medical marijuana “kills”. If you don’t believe me, ask the dead “armed” robber.

Sounds like a target rich environment to me; populated by submissive pony tailed pale faced doppers. In my former line of work, we had a name for folks like that. We called them "victims."

I am surprised it doesn’t happen more often. I saw an article about a Pot vending machine and I imagined robbers stealing the machines much like they do with ATM’s.

If the jihadis had any clue, they'd target those crowded pothead festivals. It would be like the motto of that old suck.com website: Gun, fish, barrel.

Racism!

"Del Toro described the fleeing robber as a black man in his 20s, about 6 feet tall, 190 pounds, and wearing a blue hoodie.""

The MSM version of this story will be that the racist guard targeted the so-called "robber" just because he was black and wearing a hoodie.

I took the liberty to re-write this song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3j2NYZ8FKs&feature=kp

Sometimes you’re better off dead
There’s gun in your hand and it’s pointing at your head
You think you’re mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a POT Shop town
Call the police, there’s a madman around
Running down underground to a dive bar
In a POT Shop town

In a POT Shop town, a dead end world
The POT Shop boys and POT Shop girls
In a POT Shop town, a dead end world
The POT Shop boys and POT Shop girls
POT Shop girls

Too many shadows, whispering voices
Faces on posters, too many choices
If, when, why, what?
How much have you got?
Have you got it, do you get it, if so, how often?
And which do you choose, a hard or soft option?
(How much do you need?)

In a POT Shop town, a dead end world
The POT Shop boys and POT Shop girls
In a POT Shop town, a dead end world
The POT Shop boys and POT Shop girls
POT Shop girls
POT Shop girls

(How much do you need?)

In a POT Shop town, a dead end world
The POT Shop boys and POT Shop girls
Oooh POT Shop town, a dead end world
POT Shop boys, POT Shop Girls
POT Shop girls

You’ve got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Just you wait ‘til I get you home
We’ve got no future, we’ve got no past
Here today, built to last
In every city, in every nation
From Lake Geneva to the Finland station
(How far have you been?)

In a POT Shop town, a dead end world
The POT Shop boys and POT Shop girls
A POT Shop town, a dead end world
POT Shop Boys, POT Shop girls
POT Shop girls

POT Shop girls

POT Shop girls
(How far have you been?)

Girls
POT Shop boys
And POT Shop girls
And POT Shop girls
(... forever)
And POT Shop girls
(How far have you been?)

POT Shop boys
The POT Shop girls
The POT Shop boys
And POT Shop girls

The POT Shop girls
The POT Shop boys
The POT Shop girls
