Sterling Heights police arrest man who attempted to rob gas station with toy handgun

By Jack Nissan
STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. – Sterling Heights police have arrested a man after an attempted robbery at a gas station when the suspect used a replica handgun during the crime.

Around 6 a.m. on Oct. 31, police were dispatched to a BP gas station on 18 Mile Road after getting a report of a hold-up alarm being initiated.

When police arrived at the gas station, they observed a white male dressed in all dark clothing walking away from the business.

When officers approached the man, he fled.

Two officers quickly gave chase before apprehending the suspect near a liquor store. While taking the suspect into custody, they found a black toy replica handgun.

Not a Gun.

I’m willing to bet the Houston hit-and-run was “dark”.
The perp (hittee) was wearing dark clothes, that part of the street was dimly lit (if lit at all).
The driver probably won’t know (s)he was involved in anything unless (s)he does a close inspection of the car and finds body damage.

Other then that, a “case” of justice, swift and sure, judged by God. (although I do think the sentence was a wee bit excessive for the crime involved. but what do I know?)

“finds body damage”

Of a sort…….

“finds body damage” I’m pretty sure that the hittee had some “body damage”. He’s dead, Jim. We can only pray that the beer was not harmed.

The popo didn’t toy around with the other perp. Maybe they should send that “gun” to Baldwin to use in his next movie… Too soon?

We like to think that there is nothing like a “Mama Bear” protecting her young, or hearth and home as commented in the Selective Service thread. Sadly, in my curry combing the inherwebz for FGS, I daily see articles where “birth persons” kill or maim their children.

You guys know me to some extent. I would rather be funny than serious. Levity and brevity are my watchwords. However, this really pisses me off. You set me off KoB. 😉

Mama Bear:

How many commercials… how much propaganda… how much shit spewed on “You can’t say that!” or “You can’t think that!” or you have to treat this tiny percentage of the population just perfectly so… or we will lose our shit(!). You. must. obey. You must think and act THIS way.

Right. Right.

We can’t even get people to come to a consensus and stop abusing/neglecting/torturing CHILDREN. Oh yeah, and there are actual laws against it. What percentage of our population are they?

Kids: stop bullying each other. Christ. Start with their POS parents.

When you fix that, say about 99%, get back to me about the snowflake trannies.

Otherwise… I don’t give a rat’s ass and you can, well, you know.

I need a drink.

What’s your libation of choice?

Right now probably a strong American bourbon. Elijah Craig? Old Forester? I’m not terribly picky.

It has been a few years since I regularly traversed South Gessner, but it was not usually a dark area.

But the perp was more than likely wearing dark clothing and of a dark complexion, and/or not watching traffic.

I’m betting the driver of the vehicle that struck the hittee also had some legal issues (DUI, illegal alien, in possession, etc.) – pretty SOP for that area now, sadly.

Some years back a shoplifter ran across the south bound lanes of I-45 during a high traffic time trying to get away, made it across those, and jumped the barrier into the HOV lane. He was, according to witnesses, grinning, thinking he’d escaped. But he jumped into the path of a car doing 55-65 mph, which hit him and threw him up, over the car, and into the front of a bus – where he splattered.

Ruined the day for a two drivers and a lot of passengers.

“suspect used a replica handgun during the crime”

Be funny if the clerk gave him replica money.

Hopefully the beer perp was able to grin and beer it the last second of his life after getting hit by the vehicle.

Britain, Australia and some other countries have already done the experiment with gun banning. It did not reduce crime.

So, apparently the persecuter in the Rittenhouse case sat on FBI FLIR video that shows shots fired near/at Rittenhouse, prior, and supports his account and “self defense” .

Oopsie.
