Hoosier Daddy...

Lokidude sends in the latest addition to the DGC:

Man trying to rob grocery dies after shot in face by Kroger employee
A man who was shot in the face about 6 p.m. Monday inside a Kroger grocery store on Indianapolis’ Northwestside has died.

Police say they suspect the wounded man was trying to rob the store and was shot by an employee.
Dude walks into store. Comes across female clerk. Presses something into her back and starts herding her into the office in the back. Gets shot in the damn face for his troubles. It's unfortunate that this happens so rarely - and that corporate policy tends to frown on this sort of self-reliance. It's a pretty safe bet this employee will be fired for potentially saving his co-worker's life, and that's what's wrong with America. He should be the damn employee of the month - generally thugs don't herd folks into back offices because they want to apologize for the intrusion; they'd just rather there be no witnesses to whatever's coming next.

Instead, we had a much better outcome than pretty much anything else that could have happened - except, perhaps, had the female employee he was terrorizing shot him herself...

Dead Goblin Count: 225

That is all.

Dang! I missed it! As of the 11p.m. news he hadn't yet died, but I was hoping I could send you the story. Several years ago I lived in the area and shopped at that store. The usually had an off-duty cop at the door. I wonder if he was there this week, or if "safety" has been cut from the budget.

This is a much better result that the Occupy Raleigh protester who shot his boyfriend and two innocent bystanders in the Food Lion down here in NC.

Damn.

I've been in that Kroger, several times.

Well, as they say: Carry your damn guns.

All the time, even the grocery store, because the goblins don't care.

And good thing there was an armed coworker there. Sends a strong deterrent.
