Update: One of the punks who used an old lady as a human shield at Sunday’s Family Dollar shoot out was charged today in juvenile court. He’s up on aggravated robbery, assault, felonious assault, and kidnapping. The other suspect remains at large.

Sunday mornings — church bells, waffles, Meet the Press, hangovers, bath salts. All norms within the realm of possibility. This isn’t exactly the chunk of time you’d expect Fallujah to unfold in your backyard, but that’s exactly what happened yesterday on Payne with a major gunfight between cops and robbers.
Two teenage thugs held up the Family Dollar, then swapped gunfire with police while trying to get away. The Fox 8 report below has interviews with eyewitnesses. It sounds like we’re talking about an armory’s worth of small arms fire filling up the air, but surprisingly, luckily, no one was hit.

Assholes,thugs should have Gotten killed by the police for firing at them! Now its robbing dollar stores? What could have been in the register? $30 (all singles)How did one get away? Keep laying off the police and this is going to be expected all over the place! maybe now they can do their Rap shit in a detention center,they dont GAF,they will probably be Happy ,in there they will eat good,and do that RAP shit all day. Us Citizens have rights to! Right Your Congressman! Tell Him The Govt. Has Billions To Spend On Wars,But Cant Get Some Money To Hire More Law Enforcement! Its A Damn Shame What This World Is Coming To,Greedy Politicians dont help the matter either,Must Be Tons Of Profit For The USA To Be Involved this long In Conflicts! Only Gonna Get Worse!
A Dollar Store? Really? I can’t wait to see what tactics the thugs employ with the gumball machines in the K-Mart lobby on Lorain: maybe use a Baby-that-Away as a criminal tool, then a weapon, and then a shield. And, if all else fails, they can dress up in a Barney costume and give ole Gary Greytrousers, Chief of Security, the slip.
