He didn't ignore it; he read it as a "Welcome" sign to do his thing!

The woman ran after the suspect and sprained her ankle. Both the woman and her child were treated by a paramedic for their injures.

So the scum bag hits her over the head with a gun, tries to steal her purse, and she runs after him? She sounds like a tough broad.

This. When I walk into the mall I feel like I'm walking into a little English microcosm. Even the "cops" don't have guns.

What they don't know won't hurt them. They call it concealed carry for a reason.

"We are shocked and saddened that this kind of violence took place here, and are grateful to the witness who aided the victim. We are also thankful for our ongoing relationship with IMPD, and for their prompt response and continued efforts to apprehend the suspect," a Simon Property Group spokeswoman said in a statement.

Not half as shocked and saddened as they would have been had that woman been armed and saved the IMPD a lot of searching. Why not just hang up a sign that says "Our customers are unarmed, thieves and muggers welcome"

But they ride Segways! The general idea is for the bad guys to be paralyzed with laughter when confronted. Kind of like when Shirtless Girl confronts the Jiggler, but different.

"Don't touch those."

Calling 9mm (or preferred caliber) would have been more effective!
Ran after the dude that has a gun and left her baby. I guess adrenaline caused a

Also, to the girl they interviewed, perfect example of "I usually carry mace" or ______, (whatever form of personal protection).
The day she didn't have it, was the day she could have needed it. Even at that, if it was in a purse
it wouldn't have mattered much.
Case in point, evil is never convenient when it attacks. Training and situation awareness is crucial.

Glad this loser was unsuccessful.

Bummer, can't post comments to the story.

A criminal doesn't follow the rules? Say it isn't so!

But you can post here! What more can you possibly desire?

Perhaps the ability to tell some people what dumbasses they are on the forum where they hang out?

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Funny, I have carried in ALL the Simon malls in the area, and have never had a problem? The cutie at Tommy Bahama at the Fashion Mall did raise an eyebrow a little last week when she was helping me try on shorts and shirts for my wedding when she saw the 19 stuffed in my waistband.

 

[KellyinAvon]

When are they going to make crime illegal??

 

[Vigilant]

Well hell, the BJJ instructor got a good plug in, and now all the Carmelite ladies will be busting down his door to learn how to rip the gun from the bad guys hand, and make him pay!

I am starting to question the effectiveness of these no guns allowed signs...

maybe be they need to make them bigger....

I dunno. Seems like the criminals read Simon's message loud and clear.

I, too, like wasting my time on the internet!
