I see there was no charge of armed robbery, even though they used a knife.

I keep hoping when something like this goes down the headline will read:

"Gas station robbed owner shot same"


PS
I bet the Bearman and Keith had fun with that one.

Would you jump off a bridge if everyone else was doing it?

I've been in some bad financial positions in my life, but there is no way I would or could justify armed robbery to pay my bills. This is just another example of very poor judgement on the part of two idiots. They are lucky that they weren't shot by the attendant.

Man, there's just something wrong with folks from that part of the State.

It's the transplants not the good old Pennsylvania Dutchies that grew up here.

That part of the state does seem to have a lot of immigrants from NY and NJ. But that couldn't be part of the problem....could it???

Nope, it's those damn Canadians trying to get to Philadelphia.

Ahem..................left NJ 20 yrs ago and never looked backed. And, I adapted to the area (N. Berks), the open spaces and pleasant people.......not the usual NJ/NY types that move in and insist on strip malls ever 4 blocks!

Welcome to my world.

I never understand the people that leave the Peoples Republic of New Jersey, United Soviet Socialist Republic of New York or some foreign country to the beautiful open areas of the (relatively) free Eastern PA (or anywhere else for that matter) then want to change the area to be more like the place or country they left.

This area (and the whole country) is no longer a melting-pot, everyone wants to be a hyphenated something or other.
