    http://metro.co.uk/2017/01/11/armed-robber-shot-dead-after-trying-to-hold-up-a-gun-shop-6376245/

    An armed robber was shot dead on camera after he tried to hold up a gun store in Georgia.
    CCTV footage shows two men wearing ski masks pointing their guns at a customer and 64-year-old shop owner, Jimmy Groover.
    But rather than hold his hands up in a plea for mercy, the grandfather reached for his own gun and opened fire, killing one of the robbers as the other ran for his life.
    Groover later said he had ‘no choice’ but to shoot the man


    He told the newspaper: ‘I’ve been doing this 30 years. Nothing like this has ever happened. I never wanted this to happen but I want to go home at night, too.’
    The incident happened at 11am on December 26 while two customers were inside the shop.
    Groover shot one of the robbers twice, sending him straight to the floor.
    One of the suspects is on the run and wanted by police.
    It is unlikely charges will be brought against the grandfather, police said.

    1) his name is Jimmy Groover, top name
    2) I don't condone violence but if you are enough of a f*ckwit to try an armed hold up of a shop that sells guns then you deserve what you get

    "Say Bob, let's get us some cash and rob a shop"
    "Gee Clarence, that sounds like a great idea. The Piggly Wiggly or the all night liquor store?"
    "Nah, better than that Bob. Let's go to Groovers Gun Shop and see what we can get there"

    Duppa Derp Derp Derp Duppa Duppidy Doo Derpy Derp indeed.

    I haven't read about the ethnicity of the assailants, are we to assume they were coloured gentlemen?

    Ah ok, that explains it, it makes more sense now. To be honest with you, I feel a bit silly now.
