Quote of the day
Some rep at Wal-Greens on their firing of an employee for using a gun in lawful self-defense:
Compliance is safer than confrontation.
As long as all they want is money or drugs, right?

Tell that to the 9/11 victims.

Compliance is safer for the board members…

At this stage, you could probably get a lot of money by not threatening, smiling, acting calming, and simply asking for all the green in the till.
Yerhonner, I hasn’t robbin’ the place. I was begging, which, as you know very well, in this city is for some reason not illegal or restricted. They asked if there was anything else, I thought carefully about it, expressed my desire to be charitably bestowed with money out of the generosity of their hearts (as you can see in the video and hear in the recording), and God bless ’em, the Spirit moved them to help in my hour of need, and they opened that till and gave. If they hadn’t wanted to help, well, God bless ’em anyway, but I woulda done OK.

Collin Goddard was VERY compliant.
Just sayin’

I think what they meant to say was… “please rob our stores”

Scott,
Tell it to a high school friend of mine who after giving the thug “what he wanted” (his car keys and his shoes) was put on his knees and shot in the head.

9/11?
Never heard of it.

Walgreens nearest me has all of their burglar alarm motion detectors installed upside down.

Yeah that worked out real well in Kansas City.
Didn’t fight back and they shot him anyway. What a bunch of freaking morons.

“Compliance” equals depending on the good will of someone who has already demonstrated a willingness to use violence to get what they want.
May 20th, 2011 at 5:53 pm
We’ll see how they feel about that mantra when it’s decided to start putting lawyers in gas chambers.
May 20th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
I got the same form letter. Freaking coward’s policy.
May 21st, 2011 at 11:56 pm
I submit for your reading pleasure, what happens when you cooperate with criminals.

@ Zendo Deb: Thanks. Linked, with commentary.

9/11?
Never heard of it.
Hey Walgreens! Ever heard of 1911? Heh heh!
Time for me to change my prescription supplier.
May 22nd, 2011 at 3:23 pm
BTW, I have no intention of ever being “compliant” with anyone that is threatening my life. Better to die standing, that die on my knees.
May 22nd, 2011 at 3:52 pm
@ Andrew: I’ll be compliant. Right up to the point when I think I’ve instilled enough of a false sense of security that I will have some element of surprise. Then the compliance will end rather abruptly… and loudly.
