When asked what he was going to do next, the barber said that since it was Wednesday he'd go shopping and have buttered scones for tea.

I_Am_Weasel: I remain...skeptical.

Thugs use cheap, unreliable firearms. What's not to get?


/guess they can add attempted murder to the armed robbery charge now

Hmm. I wonder what kind of penalty should be given to someone who would murder a barber for the $100 that might be in the daily till.

Discuss.

How could the robber have known it was Ironballs McGinty?

he's a barber, he should have let the guy get in close, then lash out and crush his windpipe with his barber claws.

snocone: Like I keep saying, guns do not kill people.
People kill people, sometimes.

/'cause, after all, it is harder w/o a gun

bow and arrow
explosives
blankets bearing diseases
high velocity frozen chicken
dropping something on them
blunt object
impact with moving vehicle
tiger pit

Does he like to put on women's clothes and hang about in bars?

Even the cheapest piece-of-shiat saturday night special will usually fire the round in the chamber before jamming. Of course, it's possible the robber forgot to load it or left the safety on or something - criminals aren't known for their smarts.

Brown people committing violent crimes? Let me file this under shiat I already know.

Read that as "Bieber" first. Had to reread it cuz that just didn't make any sense otherwise.

I tend to go to the chain places, but I once got my hair cut by a local barber. The dude was so lonely he kept me there talking for a whole damn hour. And his haircut sucked.

$100 worth of bullets, delivered with the speed and accuracy today's youth demand from their service providers.

Hero?


Really?

Who the fark robs a barber? Stupid criminals.

Tempting fate is not heroic. Either he had a death wish or is the luckiest bastard alive and needs to buy a lottery ticket.

Looks like the gun might have taken its talents down to south beach.

Approves.

/it was Ohio afterall

If it's a revolver and the lighting's right, if they forgot the all-important "loading" step, you'd know it.

Either an obvious airsoft gun or the stupidest barber on earth.

/real gun? just for spite I'd have figured how it worked, come back and popped the fool.

Anastacya: Tempting fate is not heroic. Either he had a death wish or is the luckiest bastard alive and needs to buy a lottery ticket.

I'd say his luck was used up in that one go.

Adolf Oliver Nipples: It helps if you remember the ammunition and spend some of your previous heist money on a piece that doesn't say "Jennings" on the side.

Who?

Due to California law requiring California-manufactured guns to pass safety tests, Jimenez Arms submitted passing test results on the new guns to the state, but the guns failed subsequent additional independent tests. The law requires that upon failure, the manufacturer must correct the problem and resubmit for additional testing. Rather than complete the process, Jimenez Arms ceased California operations and established itself in Nevada, which has no safety testing requirements for firearms

Oh. Classy.

When I was in High School I remember reading a paper where a criminal went into our local Winn-Dixie and pointed a shotgun at the overnight cashier. According to the article the cashier calmly told the would be hold up guy to screw off and then walked off to the back of the store. The witnesses in the store backed up the cashiers story. His reason ? He would rather have someone shoot and kill him than get away with a crime in the state of Texas. Some people respond oddly to actual physical threats.

So close to being a dumbass tag...yikes.

I wonder if the robber decided he didn't want the money bad enough to kill someone and he just left, and the Barbara is just making the last part up.

No one obliged him, either

I read that as Barbar and thought, oh that nutty elephant, and was pleasantly confused for a short bit.

Walker: God protects the stupid for some reason. The rest of us are f*cked.

/agnostic....it might have been God if he exists but I'm not sure if he does

God doesn't rob barber shops.

More than likely. Sadly, it doesn't change the fact that he is an idiot and is no doubt spending his nights at the bar relating this story to anyone within earshot.

/also sad that the kid actually tried pulling the trigger... that gunman needs to be found before he does actually shoot someone

A barber with a big ball

Teen Wolf Blitzer: I wonder if the robber decided he didn't want the money bad enough to kill someone and he just left, and the Barbara is just making the last part up.

Barbara looks trustworthy to me. And open minded...

asking to be shot is heroic action now?

I think not

Not exactly how I would go about being robbed but that guy has balls.

No Dumbass tag? No Stupid tag???? The barber is a complete farking moron.

I can't tell if the barber had giant cojones, or was just really, really stupid.

/probably both

Oh. Classy.

A guy that used to work for me carried a 9mm JA. One morning he was holstering it and shot himself in the ass.

Maybe the safety was on and the barber recognized it?

And the fact that you've got "Replica" written down the side of your guns...

while mine has "Desert Eagle point five oh"

Assuming it wasn't the bullet itself with the problem. I always seem to find a few duds when I go out shooting cans and whatnot with cheap ammo.

Trying a technique he only heard about in the middle of a batle... the robber was just asking to have his gun jam in him.

Besides, he tends to twist to elbow to absorb the recoil. That's more of a revolver technique.
