Strong-arm robbery in White Flint area
Montgomery County police responded to a report of a strong-arm robbery on a residential street in the White Flint area Thursday night, September 14, 2023. The robbery was reported in the 11100 block of Ardwick Drive at 10:23 PM. Ardwick backs up to the Bethesda Trolley Trail, and is just north of the Georgetown Prep campus.
No concealed carry allowed in MoCo despite SCOTUS ruling Thanks radical Dems. I love how you call it white flint. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThe crime happens in White Flint but the positive news is in North Bethesda. Maybe we won't notice.
DeleteThat's a long, lonely stretch of road area to be walkin' near the Pike ...
ReplyDeleteNo concealed carry allowed in
ReplyDeleteJAC, there was no.mention of a weapon used, so no weapon for defense is called for. Luckily both the assailant and victim were both unhurt. He probably needed whatever more.
ReplyDelete3:24 - If you fear for your life, your weapon will be a deterrent, the bad guy does not need a weapon. Of course you, being the soy-boy you are, don't mind handing over the cash and phone. Maybe you'll invite the thug in for a late night snack as well?
ReplyDelete"He probably needed whatever more." This is the entire problem in a nutshell. smh.
Maybe some food is all he wants! Smh, too.
Delete3:24 - The comment is valid nonetheless. The fact is, MoCo and state officials are making this place less safe due to their crazy stance on guns for law abiding citizens. A strong arm robbery isn't something to be taken lightly. These criminals need to be shot and shot dead if the situation warrants. Isn't it a crazy world when the bad guys can carry any gun they want and we can't? Why, yes, it is.
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
Delete@JAC- Shoot first, then ask questions. WTF?
ReplyDeleteDoor, open leave. Ewe should take heed.
Learning.
If someone wants my phone they better at least be able to produce a gun. Otherwise I won't even consider taking it out of my front pocket ! As long as it's only one person demanding it I'm not worried. The problem is when you are robbed by multiple people........
ReplyDeleteHow often are they alone? We don't know nothin' from the MCPD. Maybe there's someone lurking. I'd always imagine there's at least two: it could be that the ones who shoot or might get violent its because of peer pressure. It's often more than just about the robbery.
