second-degree assault and two counts of armed criminal action. Dixon was

You're absolutely right Elspode. The expectation for people to take responsibility for their own actions/behavior is a thing of the past. The libs have worked hard to convince people that values are a matter of perception and it shows in our society today. Keep killing each other you f'n retards, especially the babies in your bellies. Abortion, drugs, and unemployment are elements of our culture that I'd like to see stick around. Oh, and not letting worthless people starve....we can't be doing that. VOTE Democrat in November so we can continue to see non-contributors well fed and roaming the streets!
Republicans would surely fry these people w/o democratic influence. We want to be softies though so I'm sure the guy will get 10 years or less. Doesn't really matter, we'd be feeding him and paying his bills anyway right?
I used to manage this place in the 80's when it was a Quik Trip. It was a hellhole then, too. Even then, it was the most stolen-from QT in KC, with inventory shortages hugely out of line with it's total volume. Fights were common. People were often jerks.
The place is a reflection of where it is located. Lowlifes eventually end up in the same place, doing lowlife stuff, and people get hurt, or, in this and other cases, dead.
It's probably society's fault somehow. No sense in blaming the people involved. The can't be responsible for their own behavior, right?
