Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'...

Reader Chris sends us this unusual tale out of OR of a DGC addition:

Man shot by barista had criminal record

EUGENE -- Two men tried to rob a Dutch Bros. coffee shop Wednesday and police say one of them was shot dead by a barista.

The shootout took place about 9 p.m. at a Dutch Bros. near the University of Oregon campus at Franklin and Walnut.

Police identified the dead man as Sirus Combs, 27, of Eugene, and said he has an extensive criminal record. The name of the barista has not been released. Police described him only as a white man in his 20s.

It's unusual in that one doesn't normally associate baristas with 2A enthusiasts. Now, it's great that this gentleman was, as it appears that he was able to defend his life with his lawfully carried firearm. From the sparse reporting given, it's not clear who shot first, but it's pretty clear that the recently dispatched goblin had a firearm of his own and used it in the commission of the attempted armed robbery.

He met with armed resistance, and paid the ultimate price for his unlawful actions.

Dead Goblin Count: 95

That is all.

This is true, but combine this incident with another like this:

and I may begin to think twice before robbing a coffee shop.

Remind me not to screw with the effeminate looking emo panzy at the Starbucks.
