this guy he just walks in and shoots the clerk in the face?

Nice of the moron to let potential robbers know that they have to kill him to get at the $40 in the till plus whatever guns he's got sitting around.

I don't know many people that would willingly take on a felony murder case over a robbery case, even if it's armed robbery.

Net effect of these images is a clear advertisement for trouble with signs of profound stupidity. Not wanting to risk being collateral damage I would have driven to a less overtly hostile gas station.
