Bag's Rants

Now our little town has grown up.

Well, last week we had another armed robbery in one of our local petrol stations. The one my ex and her mother works at occasionally. Although neither of them was there at the time.

Anyway, for the first time it seems that someone was actually shot during the robbery. Now we are on the map. We've had a few armed robberies over the years but you never know if they are water pistols or what as none have been fired yet.

Seems this guy decided that the small amount of his employers money he had was worth his life so he gambled that it was a water shotgun. Luckily he only sacrificed a bit of his life, bit like Harry Whittington, although he still lost the money. I wonder if it will buy any brownie points in his chosen career path as target? I bet Harry Whittington will have a better chance of getting something out of it. Our guy will probably get a £300 payment for bravery plus lose his job for putting others at risk. What a wonderful country we have. With this bunch in power he is lucky if he does not find himself in jail for upsetting the guy who shot him. After all the guy was only doing his job. And we are entitled to go about our daily job without physical or mental harm.

I feel a lot safer now that our Government has this gun thing under control like I keep on hearing. Yep, you hardly hear of any problems nowadays.
