What more can I say.

Although I would prefer that all BGs use pitchforks rather than guns, I would say about this guy "what a loser!"

What is a Waffle House?

Kind of like a gingerbread house, but softer.

What's with all the Denny's and Waffle House type robberies lately? Can't people enjoy pancakes in peace anymore?

I bet he wouldn't dare try that in a Waffen Haus.

Over the last several years, there have been several robberies of Waffle House restaurants in Houston. I think that part of it is the locations tend to be near freeways so a quick get away is possible. Also it could be the they are open 24 hours so they can be robbed when most people are in bed asleep.

The article indicates the employees hit him with the dropped pitchfork. If they were close enough to hit him, wouldn't they have been close enough to stick him?

There's much less to clean up if they use blunt force.

In Texas, I'm assuming that would have been considered a deadly weapon in the same manner as a knife with a deadly force response justified.

In Texas an assault using only the hands can be considered deadly force.

I hope it wasn't this guy.

You don't need any weapon displayed at all to justify deadly force when someone is committing a robbery.

Robbery is one of the six crimes ("aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery") where deadly force is both justified and presumed reasonable (PC §9.31(a)(1)(C) and PC §9.32(b)(1)(C)).
