According to the DeSoto Police Department, Antione Cooper, 26, entered the restaurant in the 1500 block of North Beckley Avenue at 2:30 a.m. Thursday. Patrons at the Waffle House told police Cooper robbed several customers before leaving the restaurant and entering the parking lot.

Most people, sober or drunk, do not have the ability, though.

“If you have an AK, why hit a Waffle House? The risk-reward ratio is not in one’s favor.”

Definitely a violation of Sutton’s Law.

“Cooper does not have an arrest photo yet as he is recovering in the hospital.” Let’s hope they don’t have to waste the film (or SD card memory)...

“Strain”? An armed robber points an AK at you and you shoot him? That’s not “strain”, that’s heroism.
