Kansas City: Comic book store robbed

#1

This is a tragic story. When seconds count, help is only minutes away.

The Blind Tiger, a neighboring business, wrote in a Facebook post that they called 911 and were left on hold for 17 minutes trying to get through to the dispatcher.
Pasternack called 911, but says he was put on hold by the automated system before he could tell anyone what happened. Minute after minute went by.

"I think everyone was just kind of panicking people were running around hoping that we could get through to 911," he said.

Finally, one of the men drove to the closest fire station and banged on the door.

Witnesses said 17 minutes after they first called, still on hold with 911, an ambulance arrived. Cavanaugh didn't survive.
Deplorable lunatic since 2016

Left says "he shouldn't have tried to stop the robbery. It was probably his own fault that he got robbed...." :headscratch

It's incidents like this that point out the stupidity of the anti's standard answer to "call 911" if something is happening.

This poor victim couldn't even get the ambulance rolling, let alone armed LEO's.

Everyone must carry their handguns on body every day. You have to be your own first responder!

"We don't call on 911, we call on a 1911!"

(Your handgun may be different, but you get the picture!)
