Excerpt from the St Petersburg Times:
"PINELLAS PARK -- Aided by an assault rifle, police said a pair of thieves stole high-priced electronics from a Wal-Mart early Thursday.
The robbery took place around 5:50 a.m., when two men walked into a Super Wal-Mart , 8001 U.S. 19, grabbed shopping carts and headed straight to the electronics and automotive sections.
Employees became suspicious when they saw the carts loaded with expensive car stereo equipment, computers and mobile DVD screens - merchandise usually kept behind locked glass cabinets.
The pair bypassed the checkout lines and made their way toward the exit. A manager tried to stop the two from leaving, but let them pass after one of the men pulled out a MAC-10 assault rifle from beneath his jacket.
The two loaded up a maroon pickup truck parked outside. Before they drove away, police said, one of them men again pointed the MAC-10 at an employee trying to thwart the robbery."
First off, a MAC-10 is not an assault rifle, it's a submachine gun.
Second, it's a good thing Will transferred before this happened, because he probably would have tried to tackle them into a door and gotten himself shot.
Third, it's funny that shit like this happens on my day off.
