I hope he’s got another one at home.

Wonder what the guns law are like in Conn.
What the hell did they take his gun for?
A homicide?
I love it when an armed robbery goes good.
Good shooting!
"...Witnesses told police that the would-be robber had come into the cafe wielding a gun and tried to steal from the business and the customers, police said..."
Hmm. Given these two statements from the article, this is odd. I know you must gauge the circumstances very carefully, but this seems entirely justified if the robber was wielding a gun.
I hope the reporter just got this wrong, or this is a case of liberalism gone awry...again. But, if recent news stories have any truth, there seems to be a percentage of "black lives matter" idiots in that area, and if the robber was black, this is their way of trying to show those morons that the police are not "jumping to conclusions".
Stupid either way.
“...Police have not yet identified the victim....”
************************************************************
I don’t know why so-called “journalists” insist upon referring to these failed criminals as “victims”.
The sentence should have read something similar to “Police have not yet identified the dead armed robber.”.
One and done. That's how you do it, son.
My hometown in the early 60’s.
The robber is not a victim. He is the perpetrator.

Assuming the reports of this incident are accurate, an identical incident in Texas, and particularly West Texas, would have been handled differently.
First, the Sheriff would most likely have never touched the citizens gun.
Second, given all the eye witness accounts and on scene evidence, likely as not, the county DA and the Sheriff would never even have discussed the incident.
Third, the Commissioners Court for the County the incident occurred in would be drafting a keys to the city resolution and planning an awards ceremony replete with fireworks, parade, BBQ and a Country/Western band.
Fourth, the perps body, if unclaimed, would be on the way to the nearest crematorium in the back of Bubbas pick up truck.
If the guy who did the shooting was white and the crook was black, he’s in trouble.
Black lives matter, not white ones.
Sounds like an Albanian coffee shop where they hang out, talk and play cards......
There's one near me but it's a "private" club........I don't trust Albanians
Presumably the police and the Waterbury state's attorneys office, treated the patron a little nicer that "seized the patron's handgun," as reported by the fifth-column NBC-Connecticut 'reporter.'
Otherwise, the patron should be cooperating with the police through and with the advice of his lawyer.
**... a well-known after-hours gambling club... **
Hmmmmmm. 2:30AM pizza made me wonder, what more there is to this story.
