(3,071 posts)However it happened, the good guy is still standing. He did not run. He stayed and cooperated. The police are satisfied.
You anti-gunner mindset continues to skew the situation. The ATM guy worked and earned. Likely, the $100 is more than cash. It is groceries, gas, perhaps part of the rent. He spent time and effort to obtain it.
That part of Houston has many working class people. In todays hyper inflation $100 is a lot of money. If he had robbed me, I might have made your calculation and given him the money. I can afford it. Please note giving him the money In no way guarantees that I would live. Street people kill hundreds of people for no reason each week in America today. Get your prejudices in control and view the scenario in terms of todays reality.
