$40 and a loaf of bread. Sounds like the start of one of those click-around mystery Flash games.

Yep the guy then got fined by the state gov't for having tobacco (called drug in this case) paraphernalia in his store.

Though the fine was something that just happened to be timed with this news story, he was warned to get rid of the stuff a bunch of times before they actually fined him.

Earnest - great comment!

I pray that I would have the courage and compassion to do the same thing in a similar situation. There but for the grace of God go I....

There's a rifle that made an appearance in the story. I wonder how much influence it had in the would-be robber giving up. I suspect plenty.

I saw that on TV.
In the interview the MORON admitted that the rifle wasn't loaded and never is, NOW he really will get robbed.
