After stopping a robbery Saturday......MOJO is hanging up his cape!

[gotmojo]

OK, so I was in JC Penney Saturday shopping for a belated birthday present for my sister (My son was with the sitter while I did this.). I was about 10' away from the jewelery counter when I heard a lady yell "hey!", then I heard "HEY!" again even louder. This time I turned around and didn't notice anything at first, then I saw the lady behind the jewelery counter say "Somebody stop him!" just like the damn movies. As soon as she said that, a young looking, thin, cleancut guy started to run right toward me, I saw one guy reach out for him but he missed, the dude made it to me and I instinctively grabbed him by the neck, whipped him around, and slammed him to the floor on his chest and face (Kind of like a collar tackle in football.). Then I pinned him by putting my shin across the back of his neck, (His buck 70 was no match for my 6'2" 260lbs. of get down.). By this time store security was there and as they were pulling him up from the floor, what do ya think falls out of his windbreaker? A fucking 9mm handgun! It was obvious it was a toy when it hit the floor, but I started thinking immediately about my son and how the gun could have very well been real and this kid could have freaked and shot me or someone else, all for a diamond ring that he grabbed from a Penney's clerk! Because I refuse to orphan my son, I will not do anything like this again.

I did get a TY call yesterday from the JCP regional general manager and will be getting a $500.00 gift card. It's just not worth my Son losing his Father.

Da, Da, Dahhhhhhhh!

I know, but what I should have done was follow the punk out the door and got a good description of him and a vehicle, plate #, etc...

I don't know, it's confusing to me right now, I do feel good about helping, but my priorities are way different now, since Porkchop is in my life.

I'll take ya shopping....Just don't try to steal anything, or I may have to take you down to china town too!

Good for you!

LMAO!

You know the one I am talking about then.......It happened right between the jewelery counter and the escalator. Mall security showed up before EVPD, but when they did it was funny to see mall security get treated like little bitches and shooed out of the area.
