    Interesting afternoon

    Today was a good day to go for an ammo run! Pulling into Wally world I found a $5 in the parking lot. Then discovered the ammo was $2 cheaper than they had quoted me over the phone :)

    On my way back home, I saw a black man wearing a blood soaked wife beater and wearing a straw hat ran in front of my car! I did a double take and I was amazed to see how much blood was on this guy, it looked like he had been shot in the head!

    I immediately pulled over and called 911. I informed them of what I saw and where he was running to and she thanked me for the tip and informed me that officers were looking for him. I have a feeling this guy is a violent criminal who had just tried to rob someone who was packing. I am happy to do my part in preventing his escape!

    Way to go, you saved at least $7, plus you performed a public service.

    Good luck finding the $5, good luck on the price of the ammo!
    You were not driving fast enough on your way home!

    An interesting afternoon indeed!
    Strange how you can go weeks, if not months, without anything notable happening, and then have a day with several.

    He was probably hit by a car running after that five dollar bill he dropped.

    You DID buy a lottery ticket didnt you?

    Sounds like you had a pretty interesting day, congrats on the find of money and the savings on the ammo AND for doing a public service by calling 911.

    Hey Thats My $5 give it back. Nice to get some cheep ammo and help put a scumbag away.
    Hitler once said, “The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerers who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing.”
