Flash Mob in Maryland. It's almost funny it's so bad.

All that has to happen to stop this behavior is a clerk with a shotgun
who blows a couple of these punks away.

Maybe in Texas, but in most of the world (and most of the US), killing
someone for shoplifting is murder.

If the clerk locked the door on his way out, the flash mob would start
killing themselves.

20 minutes after they leave they'll probably be killing each other
over the stuff they stole.

This isn't like a kid swiping a candy bar, this is organized mob
violence, a conspiracy of sorts, groups of 20 to 30 punks stealing
hundreds or thousands of dollars of merchandise at a time. Not to
mention the hours spent filling out paperwork with the law enforcement
and insurance claims, and restocking items and getting the store ready
to open for business again because in many of these cases these punks
cause damage to the store. History has proven that the best way to
curtail this kind of behavior is a Kent State moment, so to speak.

At a 7-11? Is it worth killing someone over cheap beer and SlimJims?

That's easy to say when it's someone else getting robbed.

Nah... more like Moon Pies and Dr. Pepper.

It's got a weird taste. I didn't like it even as a kid.

You wouldn't have to kill me. If I had one, I'd gladly give it to you
and pay you a dollar to eat it somewhere else.

I liked it but found it to be terribly sweet. My son introduced me to
diet Dr.Pepper and I have to say that it is pretty good.

oh yeah, I only do it with diet Dr Pepper. I think the flavor is the
same but obviously the sweetness is not.
