Another Failure of the Victim-selection Process

He probably thought they were all stoned. Man fatally shot while attempting to rob Covington cannabis store.

Ryan Evans, director of operations of the local chain Euphorium, said the would-be robber accosted an employee in the parking lot of the Covington store, put the employee in a chokehold and held a gun to his head.

“The perpetrator walked the employee up to the store, got in the door and told our ID and security people, ‘This is a robbery,'” Evans said. “My ID checker said, ‘Are you serious?’ and when he was, my ID checker drew his weapon and fired.”

Washington is apparently seeing a rash of robberies of Cannabis stores, but this is level of threat is worse than most.

Self-defense is a human-right, and Washington has a long history of supporting self-defense. (Hat tip to Keep and Bear Arms.)
