I'm not sure why they ever got away from prison farms. I grew up in NE Georgia and there was a prison farm not far from my boyhood home. This farm operated for decades with a positive cash flow. The inmates grew all the food for the prisoners and sold excess produce to citizens. They also made and sold uniforms for rental services, among other things. Instead of the prison being a drain on gubmint coffers it was a profitable venture. Violent crime was lower then because potential criminals knew that they might wind up on the business end of a hoe 12 hours a day.
Outstanding!
He may have had a friend working at the other store. Maybe at the end of the evening, he gets tired of the smell of pizza. I don’t have a problem with it.
unless the machines were broken, that does stink...
“Violent crime was lower then because potential criminals knew that they might wind up on the business end of a hoe 12 hours a day.”
I think that may the the problem now. The word “hoe” has a completely different connotation with the “younger” generation. Doing “12 hours” with one now looks like party time.
Hard labor certainly makes a lot more sense than letting them sit around watching oprah or hbo
Pizza Hut would much prefer the deliverymen and clerks to die. Pizza Hut doesn’t want to alienate a portion of its customer base by allowing them to be killed or wounded. You can always replace employees. It is harder to replace customers.
Witnesses heard gunshots from the inside of the store, followed almost immediately by a shouted, “You bitches want pepperoni with that?”
You are 100% correct.
I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, but no person, company or government entity can force you to disarm then throw you to the wolves.
If we still operated under the Laws of logic and reason, more people would come to that conclusion, too.

Kudos to this guy for standing up to protect what was his.
Since he delayed in protecting himself because of the fear of repercussions from his employer, I wish there were a way for him to sue that employer for every bump he got and drop of blood he lost.
If anyone deserves something for 'mental anguish', it's this man.
“manager went across the street”
Pizza hut has pepsi products, Mcdonalds has Coke. I’d cross the street too.
Solid piece of work. Took his beating and bid his time, then acted explosively.
A murdered clerk’s family can go after those deep pockets, too, and will.
The only person a criminal is worried about is themselves.
Himself.
I think we may find out if/when that third robber is captured.
Good reason to never go to Pizza Hut.
Its interesting that they have a well publicized policy that practically begs thugs to rob, maim and kill employees and customers.
Yes he did us all a favor, but I wonder how long it will be before we hear from their mothers and aunts that “they were good boys,” and that they were “turning their lives around.”
I thought that was weird too.
Maybe he went for a coffee, and did not want to make a pot only for himself. Does not have to be a soda. He only ask the delevier guy if he wanted a soda.
Our local PH only sells bottles, not individual drinks.
It's not just that.
The fundamental problem is teen, single mothers. They're a central cause of wickedness in society that get little blame for how destructive their selfish behavior truly is.
