Glad none of them was hurt, but gee! Why didn't they just call police when the robber approached them?
I mean, the police would have been there right away (with their guns, eek!) and stopped the bad guy.

I'm sure the bad guy would have waited too.

Especially, right after the name dropping of "I am the Mayor's son!"
just where is my icon with the head banging the brick wall.... sure seem appropriate here!

And I thought Barrett ran a safe city where people didn't need to carry guns for protection. That's what the police are for along with Barrett's anti gun policy!

First the old man, then the kid. They must just be troublemakers.

He probably should have been exercising "his silly Constitutional rights."
