Wednesday Morning Feel Good Story

| August 13, 2014

This morning’s feel good story is sent by Chief Tango and comes from New Mexico when a fellow tried to rob the at Oasis Smoke Shop and Hooka Lounge twice in the same day;

The shooting happened Sunday afternoon at the Oasis Smoke Shop on Menaul in northeast Albuquerque. The owner said the robber was armed when he first walked in and demanded money. He says his employees followed all his directions and the robber left with the cash, but then he came back.

“We did not have a gun in there, one of our employees did and it wasn’t on him at the moment. It was actually hidden in his backpack. He actually had to reach out for that to protect himself,” explained Oueis.

The employee shot and killed the robber. Police said that employee was questioned and released.

“I’m sure there will follow up interviews conducted but no one arrested appears to be a case of self defense at this point,” explained Officer Tanner Tixier.

Oueis is still reeling from what his employees had to go through and is worried the robber’s friends could come after them.

Worried about “Dead Guy’s” little friends. I’d remind all that I have some skill in rapid magazine exchange.

So having failed to get himself shot the first time he robbed the place, he came back? That is definitely someone from the smallest waves lapping at the very shallow end of the gene pool.

Too, it is a PERFECT example of what happens when bad guys perceive a threatless (ie. “gun free”) zone. They treat it as their personal candy store.
