Man in ‘angry clown mask’ robs Atlanta Waffle House, shoots customer

AJC ^

The Waffle House is in the 1000 block of Northside Drive, a busy stretch near 14th Street that includes a row of restaurants.

Police said a man in a black hooded sweatshirt was seen pacing the parking lot just before 6 a.m. He entered the restaurant and went straight for the bathroom.

“When he came out, he had a (gold) mask on,” Atlanta police Capt. Andrew Senzer said. “He produced a gun and he essentially demanded the belongings of everybody of the store.”

The masked man confronted a half dozen patrons and employees in the restaurant, though some of the customers did not comply with his demands. One robbery victim told The AJC he took the threat seriously and gave up his car keys and wallet.

Police said the man then grabbed the cash register and made his way out to the victim’s white Mercury Grand Marquis in the parking lot.

“The one that got shot was arguing with the guy,” Fears said. “The guy was standing by the window and he shot through the glass.”

In GA that sign has no legal effect unless you are “made”, the management asks you to leave, and you don’t, at which time you’re trespassing.

““He produced a gun and he essentially demanded the belongings of everybody of the store.””

But those signs do carry the full weight of the law in Tennessee and Ohio.

Atlanta is lawless and quickly reaching $hithole status.

The Braves bugged out to Cobb County for a reason.

He buys a gun, steals a car, tries to run, but he doesn’t get far, and his mama cries.

One of my daughters has the “fear of clowns” thing.

That and monkeys. I hated those monkey sweat sock things.

[Mears]

I actually thought those monkey things were cute-——but clowns don’t bother me either.

I’ll have to check with my daughter about her feelings towards the monkeys.:-)
