You've been shot at, wow, we're all impressed, it's so rare nowadays! What do you want, a medal or a chest to pin it on?

Listen numbnuts, our armed forces are getting shot at and killed everyday and you know what they do? They go after the guys that shoot at them and they kill them. They don't get in good with the cops. They don't install surveillance with audio. They don't call 911. They do what men do, they fight back and they kill the enemy.

What did you do when you supposedly got shot... [ More ]

What provoked all of that? Struck a nerve did I? That actually tells us a lot more about yourself than I bet you'd want us to know. lol.

Oh and I'm glad you thought it was funny that I've been shot at. It was an ak-47, full magazine worth. Too bad the guy was a *terrible* shot. So yeah, it was kinda funny. I actually have and love guns. It worries me though that men like you might have them too. There was a time (I hope) when people weren't so woefully lost in their self aggrandizing de... [ More ]

Pulling out a gun and going head to head with these people is likely only going to get bystanders and yourself killed. I've actually been shot at.

You've actually been shot at? OMG! Goodness gracious! Heavens to Betsy! LOL.

Listen up mayhem, let the men handle this kinda stuff, that's what men do.

Guys like you need to be with the women and children and just basically stay the hell out of the way while the men take care of business.

If you've been robed a dozen or more times, then it's time to hire armed 24/7 security. Although, I would bet that the money that has been stolen is FAR less than the cost of hightened security which is why it hasn't been implemented yet. Context really does matter here. I would invest in HD surveilence with audio and get in good with the cops. That or change how you operate so there is less to steal.

So do you suggest the owners of these establishments just lay down and take it because there are several men with guns?

Turn over the money they earned legally because a bunch of doped-up dirtbags demand it?

13 or 14 times?

Everytime?

Uh-uh, nope.

I know a lotta guys with guns too, who know how to use em.

We'd be waitin for em.

In Louisiana, when video poker machines got popular, a new crime that got popular was breaking into businesses that have video poker machines. Criminals break into restaurants, bars, etc., after they've closed and empty out the poker machines since they're full of cash.

Crooks know the badged-tax-parasites won't get there in time.

In most of the country -- time enough to save the victim from the crooks.

In LV -- time enough to save the crooks from casino security .

I have spoken with several store owners and they described the robberies like this, Several Men burst into the establishment with guns pointed at peoples heads ready to kill them. Not only do they rob the establishment they also rob the customers!. They are all high on something screaming and yelling It's an ambush.

Now the point that I am makng is this if someone gets the jump on you (and I'm sure that this has happened with the above multi-robbery situation) puts a gun in your face an... [ More ]

Sounds unfortunate that the distributors would deduct fees from licensing and other procedures straight from the retailers' profits. I read something about how retailers only make 5 cents for every 1 dollar they sell in lottery tickets. Life ain't fair. I guess I can't make judgments until we find out how big the distributors' cut of their lotto pie is... Good luck on tonight's Mega Millions

Robbed 13 times, sounds fishy to me, Hope someone with a brain is investigating that.

Having to wait on that check or deposit could cause a problem, said Stanley, who said it could also worsen security issues, noting that his bar has been robbed 13 or 14 times since it installed video lottery machines.

Robbed 13 or 14 times? You gotta be freakin kiddin me! WTF?

If somebody was lucky enough to get the drop on me ONE TIME they'd be very lucky.

And the 2nd time they tried it I'd be waiting and they'd be going home in a big black ziplock bag. Guaranteed

With Mr Kems where there are large amounts of money there will be more attempts for robbers to take a chance on the ca$h with or without a loaded gun.However! that would insure that some of these crooks of retailers can't take the money and pay their bills instead of paying the wins that they suppose to pay out.I have ran across many here in Mi that does that, they know who they are.

West Virginia Lottery rule change raises safety issue

Lottery Post — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 14:09:54 GMT

Limited video lottery retailers and machine distributors raised concerns Wednesday that a proposed West Virginia Lottery Commission rule change could put their employees at greater risk of being robbed.

The commission is attempting to clarify state Lottery law regarding how video lottery retailers bar and club owners and machine distributors are to split their share of video lottery profits.

As drafted, the rule change would clarify that, under state law, payments between distributors and
