When asked what he finds most disturbing about the surveillance footage, Titus said, "The fact that people went in and out of the store and didn't call police. There is a man laying there. Nobody thinks to dial 9-1-1 or check to see if he's okay or anything."

I'm just glad to live in a concealed carry state. Some of these psychos have no sense at all, but most retain an instinct for self-preservation. As a result, you just don't see these stories much here.

Folks, we are talking Gary, IN. If you had ever been there you would understand.

In Gary, all the customers probably had guns. They don't have any soul - that's the problem.

[Anti Federalist]

Yeah, I've been there myself...

We'll all tiptoe around the 900 lb elephant in the room.
