Man Pulls Gun on Black Friday Line-Cutter in Texas

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Tensions ran high for shoppers who abandoned their turkey dinners Thursday night to line up for Black Friday deals.

The evening was particularly intense for one shopper who allegedly pulled a gun on a man who punched him in the face while in line at a Sears store at the South Park Mall in San Antonio, TX, police told San Antonio Express-News.

Sgt. Rob Carey said [4] that a man was trying to cut his way to the front of the line, which didn't sit well with his fellow shoppers, according to San Antonio Express-News. Arguments escalated to name calling before the alleged line-cutter punched another shopper in the face.

Witnesses told San Antonio News that the man who was punched then pulled out a gun and a pointed it at the line-cutter, but police say the man actually pointed the gun at the ground. The crowd of waiting shoppers scattered when he pulled the gun, and the man who was trying to cut the line ran and hid behind a refrigerator before he ran out of the store, according to witnesses.

The man who pulled the gun was not charged because he had a concealed handgun license. Shopping resumed shortly after the incident, police told San Antonio Express-News.

I hate line-cutters, and people who pass on the right, and I hate filthy dirty stinky smelly hippie panhandlers playing crappy music and shouting incoherent lyrics outside the entrance to Walmart.

San Francisco Bay Area. We have aggressive professional panhandlers, and a police force that looks the other way. It is still not as bad here as it is in San Francisco city and county. The homeless have overrun that town. If you ever visit that city, be sure to wear sturdy, easy to clean footwear, because you will be stepping on human feces and urine just walking down the sidewalk.

Ahhh, the Golden State.

When I was a kid, to live in California seemed like living in an American dream.

I think they had security guards there for Black Friday or the Day After Christmas one time a couple years ago. They got so much flack from the locals about that and the store stopped using them. They even stopped having door greeters, because people complained about having their purchases checked every time the alarms went off at the front door.

I guess they are trying to maintain good relations with the community that has some vocal folks trying to find a reason for them not to be there.

Lesson - always bring a gun to a fist fight. At least in Texas.

[Darnell 8,479]

the gun-wielder was the line-cutter, the one doing the punch-in-the-face, and the running off later.

where's the problem? sounds like a p*ssy to me, all the way round. maybe he was a recent immigrant to Texas?
