Philly thug picked the wrong convenience store to knock off

An armed Philadelphia robbery suspect picked the wrong convenience store to knock off and paid with his life for that critical mistake.

The 28-year-old criminal entered the store wearing gloves and a mask partially covering his face and went behind the counter to steal cash from the register while holding employees at bay with his firearm.

One of the employees was also armed and quickly turned the tables by pulling his handgun and opening fire, killing the robbery suspect right there inside his store.

The incident took place late in the evening last week at Happy Day Food Market & Deli in the city’s Kingsessing neighborhood, according to Fox News.

“You can clearly see that there’s money on the scene and you can clearly see that at least one of the 28-year-old’s pockets is stuffed with money,” Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small told reporters. “We believe that was the money that he was taking from the cash register during the robbery when he was shot by the store employee.”

Chief Small can be seen below describing how the foiled robbery went down:

The employee who shot the thief had obtained firearms training and a license after the store was robbed previously, Fox 29 reported.

Having had their fill of people robbing and looting, cynical social media users praised the outcome of the robbery attempt, as seen on X:

Just first time I heard it used by a public official. He’s telegraphing in a Rizzo-esque manner. I like it.

And I'd like to see a media follow-up on Christine Blasey Ford. I hear she is about ready to release her memoir, I'm sure it's as riveting as Trump's niece's book. Hopefully the DNC is flush, they have to buy alot of these books as payback to thee folks.

wow he is a robbery suspect. With a gun he points at people. But of course he only wanted the money and did not have any reason to shoot people. Just pointed a gun at them. Seems like a threatened homicide. And a person who does not like his life threatened. So he took action to free himself from a life threatening situation. I mean that is why a robber brings a gun, to threaten a life. In this case four lives.

I was thinking of preparing a matrix to show the possibilities not knowing the races of the suspects/victims. Something like this:

Race Victim/Suspect

Robber Black N/A
Employee Black N/A
Disposition No harm no foul. Search for white blame
somewhere

Robber Black Victim (systemic racism, etc)
Employee White Suspect(white priviledge)
Disposition Whitey going down

Robber White Suspect (racist)
Employee Black Victim (hero)
Disposition Whitey going down

You know.......that type of thing.

black on White crime skyrocketed during Obeyme’s reign and, now, that is on steroids.
A decade ago, a White American was murdered, about, every 8 hours, by a black, in the US.
I have no doubt that it’s much higher, now.
Wish someone, with a national platform, would do the research and put the facts out there.

Yes, they are.
The truth destroys their narrative.
