Armed robbery seems to be the crime of choice around town lately, as opposed to random senseless shootings, or resisting arrest while under the use of a controlled substance. We’re averaging one robbery per day. The funny thing is that they all seem totally unrelated. One burglary was committed at a Long’s Drug store, one was at a Walgreen’s, and two others were committed at a Fast Trip and a Seven-Eleven. I’m no criminal mastermind, but it seems to me that a convenience store would be a lot easier to manage during a burglary than an entire drug store.
Last night, according to an article in the paper, “five Hispanic males in their 20s — three of whom were armed with handguns — stole a purse from a woman.” Oh man, that kind of press can’t be good for their reputations.
How many men does it take to steal a lady’s purse? Five. Three to hold a gun on her and two to figure out how to open it.
