-Lurid Crime Tales-
Alleged Armed Robber Shot Dead After Picking Wrong Tow Truck Driver To Rob
2022-12-31
[TheTruthAboutGuns] Violent crime continued in Detroit without interruption for the holiday season. An alleged armed robber tried his hand at it on Monday. He apparently contacted an auto salvage company, telling them he wanted them to purchase and haul away a junk car. When the tow truck arrived to pick up the hoopty, the intrepid criminal tried to ambush the driver.

Mr. Robber didn’t expect the hook’s driver to be so aware of his surroundings...or have his own gun. Given the fact that Mr. Tow Truck Driver had a concealed carry license and was carrying his gat that day, one might suspect that wasn’t his first rodeo.

So when Mr. Armed Robber ambushed the driver from behind, the driver shot him dead right there, potentially saving his own life.

#10  Make sure the pine tar is regulation length up the handle. That can make a difference.

#9  Used to have lunch with a lawyer, not mine, mind you.

Me: "You ever heard that story about someone in your house at 3 am claiming they were lost?"

Lawyer: "I've heard something like that..."

Me: "Well, in my house, that guy is more lost than he realizes..."

Lawyer: (Bites sandwich. Chews thoughtfully. Swallows discreetly.) "My advice? Shoot to kill. Your word versus his dead ass..."

Me: "Good sandwich?"

#5  If this had happened in New York, the tow truck driver would

have been armed somehow anyway.

#3  Don’t rob the tow truck driver if his haircut looks like Deniro in Taxi Driver. Also don’t go behind the counter at the Waffle House. Words to live by.
