    Robber At The Wrong Bank!

    I guess robbing banks isn't as much fun as it
    used to be...
    Some days it’s just better to stay
    home and watch TV rather than go out to hold
    up a bank.

    Then there is the Rockford Bank
    Security Guard! ..... And yes, he's not a bank
    monitor.


    Don't need no stinkin' bullet proof
    glass, just an old cop-soldier-Marine who’s
    not afraid to engage nor too worried about
    liability

    Shot him in the azz leaving? That wouldn't go over well here. At least as a civilian.
    Not taking anything away from the guy. His training worked. 2 of 3 tellers were faster at noticing the threat and he still managed to draw and apply a well placed center mass shot. The follow up shot, after the malfuction, while it did end the threat, was late imo.

    The guy may have been retreating OR just heading for cover to attack again, and he still had a gun and was still a threat that justified continued use of lethal force IMHO.

    I've got to admit
    I thoroughly enjoyed that video. So much so, that I watched it three times...
    I love a story with a happy ending!:handshake:

    I ain’t no lawyer but I play one on the internet, that shooting was completely justified!

    I liked the Christmas/ manger scene, but Christmas is over, so I was looking through my pics and found a puppy pic of Turbo from '07. That pic always puts a smile on my face:yes:
    He was a great dog!
