JR,
Everybody pays taxes.
Some of the taxes are just hidden on the rent cost, price they pay, et cetera.
David for letting them know
Cmon my people! Evolve already! Makin me look bad. Lol
Known the clerk for a long time! Scary. Glad hes ok!
Indeed as times get worse those lowlifes that aren’t willing to bear the burden of hard times like law abiding, good people do, and those lowlifes choose to prey on good people with no regard for life or property, it is up to civilized society to bear the additional burden of the criminal scourge…therefore we need to track this one down as with all the other scumbags and dispatch them to prison or better yet to meet their maker…
@JR– Where did you come up with such numbers? There is a new study that should worry you— those who drop out of school and are over 25—less that 30% have or will ever have a job.
A dark parking lot,over grown bushes and trees inthe lot and the windows all covered with sales ads.Could the owners/managers make it any easier to rob?
As the economy gets worse, this type of incident will become more common place.
Sad but true. As a country we are at a tipping point. Half the country pays taxes and the other half does not.
Hope they catch the guy! My nephew was in that store and he has a 1 yr old and a baby on the way! This THIEF needs to be caught and sent away forever! If you know anything please contact the police.
Just in there an hour or less before this happened. Guess I was at the right place at the right time.
…never build a convenience store or a bank next to a “wooded area”…that’s how they always get away…
OMG! So close to home! I guess everywhere is a scary place anymore. Nowhere is safe. Thankful that noone was hurt though. I hope they catch this thug soon!
