According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the roughly 50 people that were waiting in line at Wish, an Atlanta shoe and clothing store, for the 22 pairs of LeBron X Denims that were going on sale had been warned about a pickpocket that had been working in the area lately.
Sure enough the robber struck, but this time there was someone there to step up for the victims. A person in-line that happened to be armed stepped out of line and shot the robber. After killing the thief the man simply got back in line.
“He [the shooter] really stood up for all of us,” said Taylor White, who told Channel 2 that he was in line when the shooting happened. “I salute the homie that did that.”No word yet on whether the man got a pair of the $180 shoes or not (I sure hope so).
You kill a man for that. You coward. Could you not have given him a beat down. No it takes a man to knuckle up but a sap to shoot someone. Guns make everyone tough but be careful it just may be your fate. Sad World
ReplyDeleteWith no talk of this other guy having a weapon I'm a little surprised its getting passed off so easily as self defense. The guy was a pickpocket. Where was the imminent harm?
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I've never been robbed or pick pocketed so I don't know how I'd react, but with the details available it seems kind of suspect.
