Don't Mess with Taco Bell
« on: September 07, 2017, 12:15:15 AM »
Two armed robbers enter a Cleveland Taco Bell and three of five employees open fire on them, killing one.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that (provided it was a good shoot) so far, none of the employees was fired or arrested.

Very nice.

Hopefully the other guy ingested some of that extra-hot special sauce.

He was last seen making a run for the border.

Three employees shooting at two robbers and only one DRT?
That's kind of sad.

Yeah, because everyone knows that shooting at an armed person who is intent on robbing you is one of the least stressful things you could ever do....

Ugh... I hope someone robs me soon, I need to relax...

Good on Taco Bell for not firing the employees!  (so far anyway!)

I am surprised that the Cleveland Police didn't arrest the employees right there, since the mayor is following in Chicago/New York's footsteps.

I'm just glad that THREE were fighting back.  Kinda ups the odds a bit.

Thread swerve:

Normally I'd be making jokes about any given fast-food joint caught up in a story like this but I like Taco Bell. Never had a bad meal there, never had a great meal there but it's always tasty, filling, and inexpensive.
