“If they had been here with a hammer, I’m sorry, I probably would have had to shot all of them,” Wiemar told Channel Three, “I hate to say that, but something needs to be done, if this is what it takes to wake them up.”
He said the criminals used a crowbar to break into his store and steal thousands in under five minutes.“Get a damn job, figure out what you need to do in order to make a living besides prey on somebody else,” he added.
Local police quickly arrived at the scene, but the suspects had already fled in a white Infiniti.
