>> “An unarmed man attempted to stop the robbery” <<
This is what gun laws do to us!
.
update on mall shooting - police chief newsconference. Mall closed, still looking for other robbery suspect. One suspect in hospital.
Sad. The good Samaritan may have saved other lives.
“...Memphis became crime central...”
The Mall of Memphis. Know about that all too well. Oak Court Mall and Wolfchase Galleria are going that way unless someone puts their foot down and changes the way things are done there. Quit being a babysitter. Things don’t end well when that is the case.
The media and self described elite should be happy the good guy did not have a gun. Probably sad the other good guy did have a gun.
Thanks for the update.
Having the right tools and right skills can save your life. Too late for this man to learn.
Desperadoes will be desperadoes. Sick and sad. In a mall?
[The Mall of Memphis.]
I had to look that one up. Mostly a bygone area now. A friend of mine and I were walking in a mall several years ago - he was from a liberal area of town. He was jumping out of the way of a pair of total strangers for no reason. Yanked me. I’m like, “calm down”. I had no idea he was that jumpy.
Don’t go out unarmed. And if you are unarmed, don’t facedown an armed criminal.
Prayers up for that poor man’s family.
RIP, good samaritan.
Thank you.
And I hope that his family takes comfort in knowing that this man died trying to do the right thing.
The good news is: both suspects will get the death penalty, and they WILL catch the second suspect.
Yup. Gun free zone. What stupidity.

Oak Court was my favorite until the crime there closed down shops & like I said, it’s not worth it. The Collierville outdoor mall is wonderful. When it’s raining.....many less people ; )
It’s happening in Portland Oregon too...people are dining in the burbs...avoiding a lot of downtown time...sad because Portland used to be a very safe and comfortable city.
I don’t know how those bad guys got in with their guns . All the doors at that mall have signs saying no guns allowed .
BTW, click the link in my tag (you may have to cut and paste it). Think you'd find it interesting.
