Yet another attempt on a small mom and pop (or in this case, pop and son) business.
As someone intensely aware of security/safety at small businesses I’ve long been worried about something like this happening at Bo’s .
Fortunately it sounds like Chris is OK and the thief got his come uppance.
(And yes, I do believe that there’s security cameras there as well )
Spring forward.
Good job by the owner.
Looks like th pastor’s work is working.
Yep. That ‘holistic approach’ seems to be working out great, Like Ewart’s ‘Alternatives To Incarceration’ policy.
Oh, you mean he painted over more graffiti somewhere? Where was it?
He should have knocked some sense into him with a weedwacker!
Go harder ! Start up a chain saw…
wack some sense into him with a weedwacker!
Good job by the owner standing up to this idiot. Go out and get a job and bust your backside like the rest of us. Society doesn’t owe you anything.
Well done Chris.
nuff respect to Bo’s
That reminds me…I need a powerwasher…
He deserves the business…stand your ground….good work mate.
Well Done owner!!!
@Fool me twice… we know we know!!! it’s getting lame now. Move along now you hear
@timbuc,lame is right…time for a new, competent, government…one that isn’t racist, homophobic or xenophobic, like the current one.
he hit a nerve did he??
Great job Chris the next one needs de chain saw and carried away in de wheel-barrow….
Pasted Bean – remind me again of your salary?
We are all at risk , not just small stores and restaurants, If you see something say something. Lawmakers need to ban full faced dark tinted visor hell meets this will make it more difficult for lawbreakers to commit crime.
Really? Like the criminals will obey the law? Dumb! Need to allow shop owners and vigilantes to beat the crap out of robbers and not defend these scumbags!
because everyone will have an alert that they can use prepare them self just like this guy did.
the alert this show own had was dressed in all black and closes door behind him.
if he did not ready that he would not have acted on instinct so quickly to where he got the advantage he got. when they wear the baned visors we will be able to see the(their) intent
Sounds like the same guy that rob female in the other robbery. This is why men are needed. Good Job Shop owner. said this is many of the people working in these shops are females and old people perfect targets.
robber did not do their homework to bad the shop own did not many him pay for the slip up now the robber this out there.
Well done Chris so glad your alright. The perpetrator must be desperate as It was Wednesday and Lindo parking lot is always full. I hope and pray they are captured very soon.
HOPE & PRAY the owner is not hurt and reaches out to those who can help if his mind is troubled from the happening. If so that is not weakness, Mr. Owner.
Also I realize Bo’s is an opened entrance business thus room for other types of security can happen. The RATS are coming out by day even more these days, thus the smaller businesses have to be more alert.
The 3 neighbouring businesses need to be more alert too.
HOPE & PRAY the owner wasn’t hurt and if his mind is troubled by the happening he reaches out to those who maybe able to help. That is not a sign of weakness.
Bo’s is an open entrance business. This may have the owners look at other forms of security.
The other 3 small businesses next door also need to be more alert. I’d say network between each other to include Lindo’s, the Pizza place & neighbouring homes. The RATS are more Nervy & out by day.
