    Re: Willis? If you’re at a store and it’s about to get robbed, would you REALLY just stand around and watch?? No, you’d get out of Dodge, also. I’m sure someone called 911. Focus on the predator here and not the innocent bystanders. “Wow!!”

    Probably the same guy who has robbed the 3 other stores lately !
    They need to catch him quick before he come backs or it gets worse.

    Am I seeing this “alleged” thief come in the door pointing a pistol at 3 persons who are leaving the store?
    Hopefully, they called 911 while getting to some safety for themselves.
    Pretty brazen behavior from this thug.
    Amazed that nobody was hurt in this robbery.

    If anyone catches this lowlife in the act, a .45 is a known Crime Stopper.
    I’m just sayin’…

    Better catch him before he kills someone.
