Attempted robbery at Obama store thwarted by gun-wielding clerk
The State ^ | 8/29/2016 | Cynthia Roldán

RICHLAND COUNTY, SC A would-be robber’s plans were foiled Monday morning when a gas station clerk drew his own gun.

Richland County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the Obama store, a gas station at 5831 N. Main Street around 3:30 a.m. The clerk said a gun-wielding suspect demanded money from him, said Lt. Curtis Wilson, spokesman for the sheriff’s department.

But the clerk pulled out his own weapon. The clerk did not fire.

As the suspect fled, he fired “multiple shots,” Wilson said. No one was injured. The clerk was shielded by protective glass.

If that is a recent picture with those gas prices it is truly an Obama station, rip off.

No, older picture, though it wouldn’t surprise me!

I drove by there this morning and gas was less than $2.00.

A clerk at an “Obama” store having his own gun is the height of hypocrisy.

He should have given the robbers whatever they wanted, secure in the knowledge that the U.N. controlled police would dispose of his corpse properly when they finally arrived.

Probably one of the most fitting representations of Obama I have seen.

I assume some people get everything for free at the Obama store.

Yep. Their community is very proud of the failure.

I watched for about a second a black comedian on TV. They are proud of the Obama failure. Its funny.

NOT Tragic is more like it.

Wasn’t there a Obama supporter who said they would get free gas if he was elected? Well here is where you get it.

And in other news: There still are 0bama stores around. The one at the Chicago train station lasted a bit over a year then closed.
