Clerk complied with store SOP and wore proper PPE…ballistic vest and arms.

Last time I was in Compton the Taco Bell had the security of a bank.

Looks like he made it.

At first I saw him go down and I thought he might have been
the one who died.

My conclusion was that one of the perps went toes up.

The other two can think about that for the next 10-20.

Looks like one of the robbers got shot and quickly got left behind.

Are you sure this is in wonderful California? They have strict gun laws. It looks more like one of those YouTube videos from a normal day in Brazil.

Hopefully he fired a full mag at the actors ‘cause they sure did not stop shooting once things went hot.

Was that the Taco Bell on Wilmington Avenue right off the 105 fwy?

I take the Metro past there every day. Not a fan of Taco Bell but I have occasionally had lunch at the Denny’s in that same shopping center.

I can’t remember now. It was at least ten years ago. That Taco Bell might have burned down in a BLM riot for all I know.

“That Taco Bell might have burned down in a BLM riot for all I know.”

Nah. the BLM shenanigans were very mild to non-existent in South Central LA. Practically no damage to viable businesses, however there were more than a few “non-viable” or “non-profit able” businesses that were torched for the insurance money.

I suspect the Taco Bell you visited is still standing.

Yes, agreed...

The guy who walked in boldly with the gun blazing is the one
I’m thinking bit the dust.

Kind of fitting...

Lemme see. High crime. Gun violence. Domestic abuse. Drug and alcohol addiction.

Must be an Amish community.
