Cultural change has consequences.

They need to be charged, convicted, and shot to death at a pizza parlor, with the pizza just out of reach.

The customer drew a .45 caliber Glock 30 or 36 from his pocket, and shot both brothers. Shawn was killed and Justin was critically wounded in the throat and shoulder.

That's some damn good shooting - particularly after having been pistol-whipped.

Good shoot, glad to see the prosecutor made a smart decision.

[Secret Agent Man]

They must not have been black robbers or the cops would have charged him because of the expired permit.

[WayneS]

Weintraub said the customer could have been charged however because he had an expired permit to carry a concealed weapon.They decided not to charge him “based on the totality of the circumstances.”

And, of course, the fact that the weapon was not concealed when the police arrived...

[Alberta's Child]

The prosecutor knew he’d be wasting his time because he’d never get a conviction.

Permit? Second amendment.

[marktwain]

The prosecutor mentioned that the state has open carry without a permit.

Two brothers, later identified as Shawn Rose, 24, and Justin Rose, 22, entered the shop carrying realistic-looking airsoft guns, according to Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub.

“They had the security feature, that orange tip, removed so that they looked and felt like real guns,” said Weintraub.

Based on the totality of the incident, the Prosecutor acted appropriately.

Whoops! Don’t bring an air gun to a gun fight...

[ZULU]

Great choice of caliber. Wonder if it was .45 ACP or .45 Colt?

[Calvin Locke]

... particularly after having been pistol-whipped.

Well, I think it may have been a fake pistol...

...at least according to one article I came across trying to find pictures of the per..., er, alleged persons of interest.

One comment was "Can the guy in the hospital sue the news station for calling him "brother"?".

Am I missing something?

The customer who shot the robber was not charged. You think he should have been?

Combo toppings...

[Jack Hammer]

Sniff Sniff I just love a happy ending....

[marktwain]

Glocks are not chambered in .45 Colt.

[ZULU]

Oops. Right.

[ManHunter]

If it was a Glock, it was either a .45 ACP or .45 GAP. “It make heap big hole!” (Is that culturally insensitive of me...?)
