Investigators found a pistol in the wrecked vehicle matching the description given by the clerk. They later determined the weapon was a BB gun, Dyess said.Don't bring a BB gun to a gun fight children.

Phillips revealed what appeared to be a large-caliber black semi-automatic pistol tucked into the waistband of his pants. Phillips threatened to shoot the clerk if he didn't comply, the report said . . . . The clerk bent over behind the counter but stood up holding his own pistol, which had been in his pants pocket, the report said. Phillips moved as if to pull out his weapon. My! I believe if I subject myself to any more of this reportage and shall be left prostrated from the vapors.

Follow the advice of The Messiah.
They bring a BB gun, we bring a bazooka!

Get serious, it’s New Orleans. The perp will walk.

I don’t know how to inform a genius like yourself Rembrandt but Metairie is not New Orleans. In fact it’s in Jefferson Parish. You know, Harry Lee’s old stomping ground. Walk this perp won’t. Hell, this perp would not walk in New Orleans, Let alone Orleans Parish.

No this is not New Orleans, it is Jefferson Parish and this fellow will do probably between 10 years to life depending on whether his sentence is enhanced for being career criminal.

Jefferson Parish...New Orleans...same same.
To: BBell
The number of FReepers who think New Orleans covers the entire state of Louisiana is really appalling.

New Orleans is 68% black. Jefferson Parish is 63% white. How can they possibly be the same with demographics like that?

I don’t know how I screwed my post up but I meant to say yes you are right. Jefferson Parish is nothing like New Orleans. Sorry.

This had to be a fairly close range shot. How hard is it to shoot somebody in the head?
Sheesh... Now the clerk will probably get sued.
To: Lancey Howard
In a defensive shoot out you aim center mass. Unless your Dirty Harry.
