Has anyone seen Charlie Crist or John Boehner lately?

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

I never missed one “Leave It To Beaver” when I was growing up. I was impressed by how Ricky could sing and get the girls. But,,, I wanted to be his guitar player! Heck! I still wanna be James Burton!

If people everywhere only always fought back against the robbers,rapists, and murderers I believe there would be a lot fewer of these crimes.

The heck with call 911-just shoot the punks THEN call 911 for disposal.

[MissTed]

Looks like it. I think the lady in the first row, first one on the left looks like Ann B. Davis from the Brady Bunch. :)

[t-dude]

Reminds me of a sign I saw once...

‘I don’t call 911...Smile, wait for the flash.”

WHat we need to do is post these stories on the light poles in inners cities.

Perhaps the thugs would get the not so subtle hint.

[2111USMC]

Wow. I didn’t know that they still had not solved that case.

[downtownconservative]

Kinda looks like him, but seems the era of that photo is late 40’s and Hugh was fairly young when Leave it to Beaver was televised in the late 50’s.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Dead criminals, killed during the act of their crime, is always good news.

The customer more than likely prevented another 10-20 crimes from happening

You may be right! Guess you could be made to look pretty young on B&W TV.

A man died Saturday night after he was shot with his own gun

This incident will be used by the anit-gunners and included with other such incidents as a reason not to carry a weapon..........it may be used against you.

HDYLTAB! How Do You Like Them Apples Boy!

Good job by customer.

Just how much money did the perp expect to get at a tanning salon? It's a not a cash intensive business is it?

[krogers58]

I can fathom a scenario where the good samaritan is charged with illegal possession of a gun. This is the Chicago area, after all.

[count-your-change]

I thought someone came to steal a free tan, “I’m getting into this booth for a few minutes and remember, I have a gun!”.

[coloradan]

Perhaps some artistic Freeper could create a photo of some tanned bikini-clad gal, except that her hip is missing its tan in the shape of a handgun.

[Lancey Howard]

The male customer, who cooperated fully with police, was released without charges

???

How do obvious gaffes like this make it to the final copy?
Is there no such thing as proofreading anymore?

[white17x]

I can easily imagine the HERO being charged, especially if there is a racial element to this case. Is Holder on his way to the scene of the robbery ?
