Sorry to hear that the bad guys were unable to move the shopping carts. The carts must be very heavy to move or they were concerned about scratching their car by running into the carts. I wonder who placed the carts there and blocked the robbers in ? Very brave people………………………You are kidding ? CARTS ?
Ahh…Maybe the po po put the offensive carts there AFTER they responded to a shooting in progress?
As part of their….investigation?
I KNOW! ITS ME!!…..I’m weird……
such compelling video ! I was so concerned for the front of that store I could have stared at it on video for ANOTHER 5 minutes.
waste of time
Don’t worry the Dems will be there to convict the victim, and glorify the crooks. In Joe bidens world, they will be left out and the Smoke Shop owner will be prosecuted for having the gall to defend himself.
