He checked that's kid's privilege, and real good!
Seems like every week there's some new legal dispute in Boulder City. Big drama for a little town.
Little town run by the LDS Church
Looks like an open and shut case of self-defense. I would be surprised if police submitted that to the DAs office. Now, if the juvenile that was stabbed dies, does the DAs office charge his two friends with felony murder?
With how politicized everything has become, I wouldn't be shocked at all if the DAs office decided to pursue charges.
self-defense? The kid was reaching for the shelves when he was stabbed in the back.
Better to have used a shotgun. More effective than a knife, less risk of injury to the store owner. But I guess 11:50 will not be convinced until such time he/she is a victim.
11:50 represents why this society is dying and the death of a just world.
When did robbing a store become reaching for shelves? When its a bunch of white kids?
Is 11:50 Ozzie Fumo or one of our Emerge judges?
12:46 Probably someone at the PD's office or a current Boyd student. Only people that live in a false reality like that.
1242 is a Boyd alum pd who looks like Lucille Ball,scaring people with her cleavage

I just watched the robbery video and I immediately thought that was awesome. The three men, wearing masks, came into the store with the clear intent to rob the store. The guy who got stabbed jumped over the counter and the employee responded. Life lesson learned.
I am a hard-core conservative who almost always agrees toward defense but that guy was turned away and present zero cause to be stabbed – that owner was just waiting to stab someone – and he continued after any "threat" was gone.
So, 3:33, you mean civil liability for one stab too many, or criminal? How about the first couple of stabs? They ok?
The guy was turned away because he hopped the counter to steal items from the store. The worker has no idea if that kid hopped over with a knofe or gun. I would have kept stabbing until my arm got tired, then switched hands.
3:33 back – no stabs OK – the standard isn't "I have no idea if he is armed"
@3:33
It happens very fast. You have the luxury of leaning back in a chair and watching the videos at your own speed. Your counsel is for victim to wait and see if he gets hurt before protecting himself. If he feared for his life or feared substantial bodily injury, the stabbing is justified. A 3-person robbery with one criminal jumping over the counter at him, satisfies the requirement. Of course, if it this situation happened to you, you are free to wait and see what happens and then become outraged that you were battered as paramedics are pumping your chest.
You weep for the thief, and you curse the store owner. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know — that the juvenile's stabbing, while tragic, probably saved lives; and the storeowner's willingness to defend, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.
Solid use of "A Few Good Men."
3:33 back, you know rarely does blogging change minds, most of the time we are just yelling and arguing, but 4:43 you did change my mind, if I was back there and 3 guys were coming at me I would be scared and I would probably think they were there to kill me or something, so yes I agree with you
I'm still upset about Olivia Newton-John. She was our generations Taylor Swift (for you young-uns). I went to Grease as a close to first date with my wife. Of course, I never knew her but her innocence was a reflection of that time and something I feel has been lost. It also points out the passage of time which is sad. Just venting my friends. The only other time I felt this way about a stranger was when EVH passed. Maybe music affected me more than I know.
EVH?
She was a sweetheart. I went to high school in the 1970's. Some teenage guys were into ONJ and others were into Farrah. And I agree, it was a better time.
Eddie Van Halen
Lou Reed
A lot more class than Taylor Swift though and without all the drama
If Olivia Newton-John was the our generations' TS, it goes to show just how much our society has fallen. Olivia was the classiest of class acts. She has a bright, sunny and beautiful soul. She was a (inter)national treasure. Her passing is truly sad. Taylor Swift can't hold a candle to her.

Fox 5 reporting that former Raider and Skittles superfan Marshawn Lynch was arrested for DUI this morning near Wyoming and Las Vegas Boulevard. https://www.fox5vegas.com/2022/08/09/former-raiders-player-marshawn-lynch-accused-driving-under-influence/
Is that not the location of the Peppermint Hippo?
Yes. The former Olympic Garden is now the Peppermint Hippo. It was 7:25 a.m. His mug shot speaks for itself.
Vegas is the new Oakland.
Is the Hippo any good? I have some clients coming in this weekend.
