How do you explain this to the boys in the cell block?

Robber-0 Beauty School-1

An attempted robbery gone wrong, horribly wrong. When a man entered a beauty school with a gun drawn and told the women to empty their purses he got a lot more than loot. The man was tripped and beaten with “anything that wasn’t nailed down.” The man apparently tried to leave several times but was dragged back into the salon several times. He was carried away in an ambulance to receive stitches and have his wounds cared for.

I’ve said this before and this is only another example: People are sick and tired of dealing with scum like this. Tired of being victims, people are fighting back more often than fleeing.  Would a concealed handgun have diffused the situation any faster? I can’t say. It’s always easier to “monday quarterback” situations than to be in the thick of things. The women made good use of their surroundings and came out unscathed. A gun isn’t the answer for every solution because “when all you carry is a hammer, everything begins to look like a nail.” Hopefully, a table leg and a bruised ego will help this guy learn his lesson.
