While I am sure that law enforcement officials would say that you should just give in to the demands of an armed robber, I would like to commend the victim here. Great job! And as far as I’m concerned, if that gun would have went off and hit one of the robbers, good, so be it.

The news reporters forgot to include that not only was it a black firearm, but it had 1,0000 round assault clips, heat seeking bullets and some shoulder things that go up along barrel shrouds.

Aberdeen is a great place to raise a family, regardless of what the media says. There are just a few bad apples robbing, shooting and otherwise running wild.
Retired deputy says
Good job APD! They can’t fix stupid!!
Concerned Teacher says
I’ve crossed paths with two of those three, and stupid isn’t a bad description.
Filter King says
The firearm was later found to be a squirt gun……..

I can’t wait to hear the arguments from their loved ones.
“Oh, my poor baby was hungry he didn’t know any better he was trying to get a bite to eat.”
Thus I retort: “WTF?”
Had those persons approached the victim with sincerity and asked nicely for food, I’m sure that he would have obliged them without question.
Two: why are your kids idolizing criminal behavior and where the hell are you when your children are hungry? Please put on your big boy/girl pants and be a father/mother to your rugrats.
They’re lucky that the victim was not a mentally unstable person, otherwise once he had disarmed them, he might have blasted each one of the aggressors right in their faces.
Dumb f’in kids.
