Thread: Customers Prevent Robbery At McDonalds Down Under

It's a great learning tool; windows of opportunity open up in all situations, good & bad.
Being able to spot the open window & taking advantage of it, can mean staying alive or getting a promotion.

I remind my son regularly, that no matter how bad the situation seems, keep alert & watch for that window of opportunity.

I would like to see that person walk into a Burger King in Newark, they have thicker bullet proof glass then most banks:-)))

Well, considering that this occured in Australia what would you have pulled out instead? a rubber mallet? maybe a spare stubbie....

A Wombat?
I don't really know how they compare to a baseball dito but they should have some effect.

A licence to carry a conceled wombat is quite difficult to obtain down here. More likely they'd have a drop bear in those situations - llighter and pack a bigger punch...

I did a little searching and according to the article I read the weapon wasn't loaded which may be the reason (besides just being dumb) that the robber was so blase about putting it on the counter...?

Yeah, obtaining a CCW (Carry Concealed Wombat) is nearly impossible here too.

You've got to give credit to Customer #2 for tossing the gun back over the counter after the clerk brings it to the fight scene and drops it within reach of the would-be bandito who is still struggling on the floor.
