No doubt this robbery was conducted by Muppets trying to get into a gang or something really cool like that. Have to wonder about the mentality of some these days. If you want something, get a job and earn it. Dont steel it from somebody else who has worked hard to get it. Shop owners should be aloud to carry firearms to defend themselves as the idiots who do robberies deserve the outcomes of their actions and probably a little more.
