Shooting at Quik Trip on Collins

[L8 APEX]

Watch your backs out there. I know there are a lot of Arlington folks that live close to the latest scene. Two folks were robbed at gun point last night at the QuickTrip on Collins. The guy didn't have any money so they shot him in the head, his wife gave them her purse. He was luckily grazed off his scalp and only got 6 staples in the head. Why can't you live with any peace these days.

3.5 miles from my house....I've stopped there before. Always gotta watch your back, noone else will these days.

Also, think a bit before doing things. If you don't have to stop at a gas station at 130-2 in the morning don't.

Yeah, the couple works for the post office and gets off work at 1am they regularly get gas on the way home from work. Not a wise thing.. I have been watching the people next to me in line since that dude got knocked out at McDonalds... I think I will start wearing dark glasses and take a Shepherd 'service dog' with me everywhere I go under the ADA exemption. Then he can do this to the bad guys.

I know you guys dont want to hear this, but this is another reason why we dont miss Dallas. We do miss it there, but this type of activity just doesnt happen here in Erie/Mayberry. Once you are away from it, you get a completely different perspective on things and life. You frequently see handbags left in cars unlocked, for example, and nothing happens to them. People leave their homes unlocked, and go on vacation, and nothing happens.
It would be hard to go back to having to look over your shoulder all the time.

Damn! :hammer: Poor guy. :( I've noticed down here in HOU at the local Galleria-area Shell that 2 HPD off-duty officers (Glocks on their hip) standing inside the station as customers pay and HEB golf-cart security personnel with Glocks as well. I do notice that some of the HPD officers carry Govt. 1911 models as they direct traffic out of my office tower.:bowsknana

True account and I wish I had my camera handy for this: I was leaving work around 5 pm several weeks ago down there and this place is as every-bit as upscale as Dallas' Galleria. I'm at a stop-light in the L with several cars on each side. I look right and I see this huge Katrina-refugee looking dude on the street corner with a potato-sack-sized chunk of concrete on his shoulder.

He had CRAZY-eyes and he didn't seem to know what he wanted to do with that big-chunk of concrete on his shoulder. http://www.ls2.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes2.gif He kept pacing back and forth and making wild-motions.

Luckily the light turned green and I hauled-#ss outta' there while he was deciding his next-steps.:burnout:

I need to get my CCW.:cool:

Dana, as sad as it sounds, I don't know any other life. The smallest city I've lived in is 900,000(West Palm Beach). I've lived in Atlanta, Birmingham, and Dallas. So I don't know anything else other than the paranoid life.

BUT, I will say this. My friend is moving to Arkansas, and he's moving to a part where folks are folks. Home grown folks who look after each other and who care for each other. You know, where people still have standards and ethics. I would love to move to a place like that.

Must be an area that the Clinton's never frequented. ;)
