Two Robberies at Target Since Chain Asked Law-Abiding Citizens to Shop Unarmed

[Special T]

On July 2 Breitbart News reported that interim Target CEO John Mulligan "respectfully" asked law-abiding citizens not to bring their guns in Target stores.

Since then, Gainesville, Georgia, police have arrested three over a Target parking lot robbery and are looking for another man who punched a woman and stole her Mercedes at a Decatur, Georgia, Target as well.

Just days after Target's request the Gainesville Times reported that three men were arrested for allegedly pulling a handgun to rob a man in a Target parking lot. The three – Xavier Holland, 21; Zuccari Goudelock, 20; and Kenneth Long, 17 – were arrested, and "the committal hearing is set for July 21."

Then, just three days after Target's request that law-abiding citizens leave guns home, a woman was beaten in a Decatur Target parking lot and her Mercedes was stolen. According to Decaturish.com, it was around noon on July 5 when "a black male wearing a green t-shirt punched her in the head and she fell to the ground."

Thereafter he stole her purse and her car.

Within two weeks of asking law-abiding citizens to leave their guns home, two Jack in the Box stores were robbed, and a shooting took place at a third.

I could say the same thing about the scratch ticket i didnt buy, and the guy in line after me wining 50 bucks.  You thinking the crooks are watching the news and then deciding Target was open season.?  You're giving crooks too much credit.

Stores and fast food restaurants are robbed all the time. How many thousand robberies occured at Target or Jack in the Box when the stores didnt have a gun policy?

I dont think there is a direct cause & effect, however it cant help. Werent there some robberies in Seattle wothe those gunfree stickers that have since disappeared

I think you all don't give “crooks" enough credit.  They are smart some get away with it for a long time.  They wouldn't do it otherwise.  By doing that you are making your store a target.

I've been forced by my family to know some, and grew up with some others.  Crooks are dumb, and the reason they do it for a long time is because they're too dumb or lazy to do something else

Yea me too however there are smart crooks out there.  Drugs usually make them dumb
