a real one armed banditPlay stupid games, end up with sweet karma
Hope you're right. But remember, the perp can often later become the "victim," especially with a good lawyer. What are the odds that, within a short period of time the one-armed bandit sues the seller.
Unfortunately, we will probably get to spend mega bucks on medical expenses for the thief. Next time, take the head.
Dunno.
I am waiting to see if the cops arrest the guy who was robbed or if he just gets sued out existance.
ON the plus side, at least the media didn’t call the thief the victim...
Has his arm grown back yet?
Never mind. A quick google search informs me that surgeons were able to reattach it. I'm sure his platinum-plan health insurance paid for this. Oh, wait. You mean we paid for it? Thought so. Meanwhile, Mr. Pierre was charged with attempted murder. I can't find the outcome of this case.
Can he still be charged with armed robbery?
Hand up, don’t shoot.
Yo Lefty,ya wanna buy another piece?
..gimme them Jordan’s.
Islamic justice.
The robbery victim is going to be in big trouble. You and I may like the street justice meted out, but the standard the cops use is “did you fear for your life,” and being able to drive away means you were out of the situation until you decided to do a U-turn and put yourself back in it.
A number of years back, a robber held a guy up in his driveway, and the guy said, “Just a minute. I’ll go inside and get some money.” The stupid robber played along, and the guy instead came out and killed the guy. The intended victim was in trouble because he was inside and out of the situation and came back. I’m not saying I like it, but the driver is probably in trouble, too.
It’s difficult to pull up your saggy ghetto pants with only one arm.
Did he get his shoes back?
Won’t be a happy ending for the shoe seller, who is an idiot.
Meeting a stranger on a street to sell Air Jordans? Dumb!
Not armed and going alone? Dumb!
Running down the guy over $100 when not in imminent danger? Dumb!
Should have taken his loss and moved on. Sell on ebay.
More trouble on Craig’s List. I met a seller at city hall once, there is no reason to fool around with possibly dangerous situations.
Gimme my shoes! Now hop along you little punk.
This reminds me of a Monty Python skit.
“But you have no arms.”
“’Tis but a flesh wound.”
a real one armed banditSure, the guy was a thief, but he does have the right to bare arms.
