Details: Perfectly stated by WCAX: "Two attempted robberies at different businesses did not go as planned Saturday morning when clerks refused to hand over the cash." The first attempted robbery occured at 1:20 a.m. at the Champlain Farms on Williston Road, South Burlington. The suspect demanded money and told the clerk he had a gun. The clerk drew his pistol and the suspect fled on foot. A few minutes later, at 1:34 a.m., the suspect tried to rob the Jolley's Convenience Store on Shelburne Rd. He repeated the same process at this convenience store. This clerk also refused to hand over money. The suspect then tried to grab the cash drawer and the clerk smacked the counter with her cane. – and the suspect took off. The suspect fled again without the cash. Suspect description: 5 feet 7 inches, 130-140 pounds, wearing "a white baseball style hat, possibly Boston Red Sox, with dark colored clothing, black leather gloves with a hole on the back of the hand and wore a blue bandana concealing his face."
NO law will prevent crime. No law will stop criminals from getting guns. Gun Control only effects the law-abiding citizen and the politicians know it.
