armed shop raid

Sat Apr 03, 2010 10:42 am

on the 1st of april (yeh yeh i know) the shop that i work at was raided by 3 males about 20-25 all armed with extendable metal battons both me and the femail manager were hit over the head requiring stiches. i was a bit foolish in a jeark reaction i grabed one around the neck as they were leaving and put him though 2 displays beffore taking him to the ground in a choke hold (i wouldnt have let go untill he stoped moving) when one of the other robbers hit me over the back of the head as i have tuned around he has hit me another 4 times spliting my head open.

i understand that some may not wish to see the would so i will place it in a spoiler

havent got them yet and the police dont think they will (they left verry little evidence)
dont think it was reported in the paper but it might have had a paragraph somwhere this happens too much for the papers to care about all of them.
im fit ass a fiddle now just feel like i have been hit by a bus, i dont think it was brave more stupid but i didnt think just reacted.

Shocking, to say the least!!!
One question that comes to mind, I presume that CCTV is not installed in the shop??

thank you all for your very kind words. the shop has 16 cameras but all 3 thugs were covered quite well so theres not much evidence to help with identifying any of them. im all stiched up and healing well :)
