WTF! that biatch locked the other employee in the store with the gunman. I understand fleeing, but locking him in with a hostage?!

I work retail, and I would DIE before I let someone else.

/they got lucky

Yeah, I say that, but if I had the opportunity to get away?

/but lock a coworker in?

Ha ha. Anal rape for a PS3 is a fate worse than death.

GAME OVER, man, GAME OVER!

From TFA:When arrested, police found that Antuan Blackman had $559 in his pants and $54 in coins in his sweatshirt, Bickham.

He has a sweatshirt named Bickham?

real shaman beat me to it. I really can't figure out what that is supposed to mean.

who you calling Bickham?

I think they meant his sweatshirt had text on in in the Bickham font.

$54 in coins? Seems like that would be a bit heavy if you are trying to make a getaway.....

Antuan Blackman? Is that his real name?

That would be heavy and noisy. Pockets full of change in a metal air duct?

Always trying to keep the Blackman down!

coins??? thats a lot of coins....

penguinscanfly81: Antuan Blackman? Is that his real name?


Mr. Blackman? This is the first test... I will not call you that.

Wow.. he robbed a store, and only had enough to purchase a PS3. :D

Um, what is the headline trying to say? English this time, please.

I've read that headline 3 times and it seems like a badly worded runon sentence or something or it could just be missing some punctuaction to make it slightly more readable.

Pot? Kettle?

I was being facetious.

-50 points for illegible headline

What?

SUBBY

take this book to your mother, hand it to her, then blink twice.

RInewsPhotog: I was being facetious.

Sorry. You can never tell on fark.

Antuan Blackman


The name explaines it all

headline made my brain hurt

Mike_Bolton Bahahaha, thank you

"MUMMAH! BUUK! Mummah!"

FTFA (approximately) "He asked about the PlayStation3..."

Pretty sure we've got the beginnings of an insanity defense right there.

And Mike_Bolton FTW

Officers reviewed the security camera to see where the offender stashed the handgun and found him hiding in the air duct.



Suspect in question.

I'm still trying to get over the fact that the one employee locked his coworker in the store with an armed thief. I understand wanting the bad guy to get caught, but risking someone elses life to do it makes them either an idiot or a douche.

Fortunately the robber decided to hide instead of turn the situation into a standoff.

Blackman, please.

-Why would the cops have to review the tape to find the guy if an employee was there with him? He didn't notice him climbing into an air duct?

-It's full time job just BEING a Black man in America!

The penguins always look friendly..... until they explode.

That punk is lucky he didn't suffer Acts of Gord on his head.

SKA-T73: /too obscure?

Seeing as I was quoting that even as a 6 year old, I doubt it

Amigajoe: Why would the cops have to review the tape to find the guy if an employee was there with him? He didn't notice him climbing into an air duct?

That's what I was trying to figure out.

Obviously the suspect had just played hours of Doom, Quake and Half-Life, if he thought hiding in the air ducts would work...

I think they're trying to say "bickham said" at the end, since the previous paragraph ended in "Bickham said".

Cosmic Crab, love the Gord, fear the Gord.

His first mistake was letting the employees live.

If you're going to commit a crime, do it for real.

Antuan Blackman? Dude, they could've nailed this guy on probability alone.

Now I'm curious. Charged with "unlawful use of a firearm by a felon". Does this mean there's a lawful use of a firearm by a felon?

Why don't they just charge "use of a firearm by a felon"?

Seriously...

That's exactly what jumped out at me too. I'd even go so far as to bet that getting the robber captured wasn't her first priority, but rather she was just attempting to get her own sorry hide safely away from him.

Either way, it was stupid and dangerous and showed little thought as to what an enraged armed robber may have done to her co-worker.

What a biatch.

Must be a slow news week in Chicago if the journalists have to make up stories, Bickham.

Suspect in question.

And the Policemen had big exclamation marks over their head.

/should have hidden under a big cardboard box

Ahh, that's what the attorney does. Sweep it under the rug. Blame it on Bickham.

Who did Mr. Blackman rob to get the $559 in cash and the $54 in coin? He got to the PS3 before the register and got spooked in the game store.

Well, the employee who escaped locked the other one in the store with the robber... BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T LIKE HIM!! "Hee hee, good luck, sucker!"

"Robber worried about the security system of game store busted when cops review the tape to find his hiding place"

The problem with the headline is that it's a non-sequitor with ironic cadence.

Real Shaman

I came in to ask the same question. Peculiar indeed, but hey, maybe over the years he's come to rely on Bickham as a friend and accomplice.

If you're gonna rob somebody for a PS3, you should have done it on launch day when you could have actually resold it.
