A Glock? :mrgreen:

But seriously, in Texas don't bring a non-lethal gun to a real robbery.

Good video. Armed BG is still on the loose. Imagining the BG is on the list of BGs the local Soros DA recently let back out on the street.

Probably only because it is Texas.

So the criminal dead guy was out on parole.

He then was accused of committing another crime and was arrested and made bond.

Now he is dead.

So keeping criminals behind bars is humanitarian.

It prevents innocent victims and keeps criminals living to a ripe old age.

If you’re on parole do you get to bond out or shouldn’t your parole be revoked?

Or was that in those silly old days 4 years ago.

With the “hero” leaving the scene I would think it wouldn’t be as near as happy if he would called 911 and waited for the police.

Only a complete idiot would be carrying around a large sum of cash and not be carrying a firearm. That guy ask to be robbed. There was plenty of time to draw and shoot on that robber. I am always armed anyway, and when carrying large sums of cash or even 4 or 5 grand, I have my alert system on overdrive. Just seeing that car pull up to the side like that would have put my hand on my sidearm. The car pulls up and stops beside me the sidearm is out and in action. There is absolutely no way that robber would have pulled that off with me and remained unventilated. His mammy would be on the news telling us all what a good boy he was and asking why I shot him so many times. I would feel real bad that I was so scared I wasn't sure how many rounds I fired. I just wanted to protect myself and stop the guy. :tiphat:

What really sticks out is that the thug went straight to the backpack. Didn't stand everybody up, snatch the purses, go through the pockets, get wallets, just a beeline for the backpack and nothing else. Way too specific. How would they had known just what to grab - did he march into the bank with it, pack it while in there, or stuff the money into it out in the parking lot in plain view of anyone and everyone. Way peculiar. Worst application of opsec I've ever seen.

I wouldn't put anything past bank employees either, giving heads up to a thug boyfriend and his gang lurking outside. It's certainly happened.

4 women need a ride home after exercising at Planet Fitness, so they ask a 20 yo who was also finishing exercising if he could give them a lift.

Two men waited with guns at their destination.

Bullet hole in him and his truck, probably not how he expected his evening to end.
