re: Thieves target Nashville liqour store. Does not go as planned.

She is 88 years old. Her reaction time is far slower now than the past. If she does not get out in front of the robbery, then she may not live to 89.
Why doesn't someone tell the thieves that no one is allowed to go behind the counter. There is only one reason for them to do that. Their intent was to rob her, and who knows what else.
Whoever arrested her and whoever approved of the arrest need to be suspended immediately.
What did they expect her to do? Take a punch to the face first?
