My child wasn't detained by US Border Patrol and has succesfully entered the USA.

It didn't use to be a possible issue.

My sex drive will drop to zero for the next month, given the amount of lithium grease I've used on making up a scrap bike to use from and leave at the railway station.

Bribe too low and/or from the wrong person?

A man had his AR-15-style rifle stolen at gunpoint. He then used a second gun to open fire on the robber, police say.

A man who was open-carrying an AR-15-style rifle at a Missouri supermarket had his firearm stolen at gunpoint, according to police.

Then, in a surprising twist, he retrieved another gun from his vehicle, and opened fire on the man accused of robbing him, North County Police Cooperative said on Facebook.

Officers responded on May 27 after a call for "shots fired" at Wellston Food Market in St Louis, Missouri.

Officers said that a man had been carrying his rifle around the supermarket in a non-threatening manner.


When he stepped out of the store, a 31-year-old man held a pistol to the back of his head, according to a probable cause statement, per the NBC affiliate station KSDK.

He then stole the victim's jacket and gun, the probable cause statement said, KDSK reported.

After giving the rifle up, police said the victim grabbed another gun he had in his car and opened fire on the accused robber.

A shootout ensued, police said, during which two bystanders — both women — were struck. The injuries were not life-threatening.

The victim fled with his rifle while the accused robber, who had been shot several times, remained on the scene. A third man then also shot him, police said.


The accused robber is charged with armed criminal action, first-degree robbery, and two counts each of unlawful use of a weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm, KSDK reported. His cash-only bond was set at $500,000, the local media outlet said.

"This is a very active and fluid investigation," said the North County Police Cooperative on Facebook.

The robber was named Bobby Lee Booker Jr.

Its a funny story but....is it a surprising twist?
That a man openly carrying an assault rifle to the supermarket might have an arsenal in his car?

Fair enough on the crazy guy not being charged, defending his property and all that.
But the third guy who just came along and shot the injured crook? That sounds weird and worthy of a charge.

Why would you film this in vertical format ....

Phones should let you film horizontally whilst holding them vertically.
