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.

In these days of HIPPA, one wonders how these photos were allowed to be taken.
Because, Texas. Silly me.

Ignored because it was a good guy (civilian) with a gun that stopped a bad guy with a gun. That simply doesn’t fit the narrative. . .

Apparently, when trying to intimidate Texans, an AK-37 is useless if you’re not also pulling the trigger.
I’m in the People’s Republic of Maryland, where that criminal would have been much safer. Our government mostly prosecutes cops and law-abiding gun owners. A criminal would have zero risk of being shot here, and near zero danger from prosecution.

I know a guy who sells out-the-front switchblades, and is producing mounts to put them on the end of an AR. He says he’s sold a few, too.

Nothing good happens in public after 2am.
Waffle House eateries are often places where robbers go to practice their craft.
