That's great. I'm sorry the old man didn't kill him, but maybe I'll get lucky and he'll die from a nasty infection in the leg.



ETA: I love the new avatar, Lee.

Good for the old guy...no telling what would have happened to him if he was unarmed.

I hope the dirtbag doesn't come back trying to hurt the old man.

We've had a couple of victim shooting back case here lately. Just the other day a Pizza Hut guy killed two out of three that tried to rob him...3rd guy got a way.

In another case a victim beat a guy with a ball bat...he escaped but then ran his car into a golf course pond and the cops found him laying on the ground. There may be more to this case though from what they say.

Sometimes while working the ER, when you take a temp you confuse the Rectal and Oral thermometers.

We need to chip in and buy that guy a shotgun with some buckshot and show those robbers how to "keep it real".

Also how fucking stupid are these robbers? Is the economy so bad they can't afford gas? They can drive 5-10 miles to Cabbagetown or Virginia Highlands and look for that $500k bungalo with the "War is not the answer" sign in their front yard. You are about guaranteed there aren't any weapons in that house. But these jackasses pick a road near Panola Rd which is just a gangster haven so you know everyone is packing heat.
