Police in Memphis would love to chat with a young black male with a tattoo over his eyebrow and a bleeding abdomen. It seems a suspect matching that description tried to steal some cash from a Quick Check store. Instead of walking away with some loot, he ran away with a gunshot wound.
I know…pass the tissues.
As it turns out, the store clerk had a gun, too. He was no doubt alerted when he saw the mask-clad, hoodie-up yoot walk into the store. Even most amateurs would recognize that as suspicious behavior, especially as he was also keeping his hand concealed.
Then the bad guy sauntered directly over to the cashier. That’s a classic tell for an attack about to happen and that’s exactly what happened. The clerk was ready.
As the masked armed robber lifted the bottom of his hoodie and pulled out a semi-auto pistol, the clerk drew his own gun and fired.
No one apparently told the clerk there’s no additional paperwork required for firing more than one shot at an imminent lethal threat. Upon receipt of the good guy’s lone freedom pill, the aspiring robber decided he wanted nothing more from the clerk and left with all possible haste.
FoxNews in Memphis has everything in the story, including the video.
Police released footage showing the moment a store clerk fired a shot at a man, striking him, during an attempted robbery Monday morning in the Alcy-Ball neighborhood.
According to the Memphis Police Department (MPD), it happened around 10 a.m. at the Quick Check Store on Alcy Road near Perry Road. Video released shows a man in a white hoodie start to pull out a gun when he jerks back and runs away.
MPD said the store clerk fired a shot at the would-be robber, striking him.
Police said they’re still looking for the suspect, who is described to be between 18-22 years old and about 5-foot-5 with a tattoo over one of his eyebrows. He was also wearing a red shirt underneath his white hoodie, black pants and black shoes.
If you live in Memphis, have you seen a man fitting that description who’s moving kinda slowly and possibly leaking bodily fluids? If so, you may want to give the MPD a call.
Yeah, I don’t run with those sorts of “people.” Fingers crossed it gets infected. Maybe it’ll go septic.
Dare I say it??
One of the usual suspects.
If the public education numbers in Memphis are anything like those in Chicago (or Decatur) where few of the black and Latino students can read or do math anywhere near grade level, there’s your answer. These kids are never going to get a decent job and make a career of it, buy a house, raise a nuclear family and contribute to society.
All they have in the way of opportunities (outside of mayyyybe a menial government job) is the “ghetto” lifestyle of drugs, crime and violence. They can produce violence or they can consume violence. Their street cred is measured in their willingness to commit unspeakable violence with minimal provocation. William April (sp?/Rest in Peace) did a lot of research on that.
This is not unusual for Memphis, the ‘usual suspects’ abound in Memphis.
