My brother-in-law was a pharmacist at this very pharmacy in the 1970’s and was robbed several times. Once he was tied up.
I applaude the actions of this business man!
This guy should have plugged the perp then given him a pain killer! Make a better story anyway.
But I keep hearing guns are bad and that they kill people...
Glad this guy had enough of it.
Kudos to Rod and Jason Dunn! I believe they’ll see a drop in robbery attempts.
Might be simpler to just hand the guy a box of cyanide pills and say “Happy to be of service!”
"I just pulled a gun on him and said 'get out of here," Rod Dunn tells KSL. Pharmacist Rod Dunn is tired of getting robbed for pills and he's not going to take it anymore, so he used a gun to protect his pharmacy and employees.
Dunn was quickly arrested by Framingham Police under charges of assault with a deadly weapon, battery, brandishing a firearm, and attempted murder. District Attorney Rodney Pecksniff indicated he will also charge Dunn with a hate crime and violation of state and federal civil rights statutes.
The victim, Joseph Chiazzese, has been provided immunity if he will testify against Dunn. The Massachusetts Civil Liberties Union is paying to put Chiazzese up in the Framingham Sheraton and will pay for his expenses. Trauma counseling is being provided pro bono by the Massachusetts Doctors Against Firearms Violence Center.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick said he will intorduce legislation making it a felony to possess a firearm.
LOL! That's the spirit. Of course, the limp-wristed pantywaists would have a conniption.
LOL!
About 19 times too many...
Wonder if his wife left him?
“Might be simpler to just hand the guy a box of cyanide pills and say “Happy to be of service!”
By golly, I believe you’ve found the perfect solution!
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence,..."
Is “Get out of here” the best thing you can say to a robber being held at gunpoint? Idiot.
Yes, that would be a good outcome: that the criminals learn not to rob this pharmacy. An even better one would be that these robbers rethink their choice of professions.

| The noun defense (defence is the British spelling; see SPELLING [1]) is usually pronounced di-FENS, but in the jargon of football and certain other team sports where it means “the defensive unit, or the team currently on the defense, playing against the team with the ball,” it is pronounced DEE-fens. The verb defense is also restricted to sports argot: it means “to design and execute a defense, to defend against,” and it too may be stressed on either syllable. See DEFEND. | 1 |
