LUCKY?!?

From AP:

Two 19-year-old women were shot in a parking lot at Macy's in Valley Stream, Long Island when they refused to give up their cell phones to a teenage robber.

Nassau County police said the teen used a BB gun to shoot one woman in the shoulder when she refused to hand over her phone.

The two women turned and ran, and the robber fired several shots -- hitting one three times in the back and the other once in the shoulder.

Police say the women are lucky it was a BB gun, because their wounds were not life threatening.

What police officer would go on record and state that these women were lucky? I would categorize them as unlucky.

• First and most obviously, they were victims of a violent crime. No luck there.
• The women were definitely unlucky since the perp here was a pretty decent shot. Four hits is pretty good.
• Finally, the mental process at work here on the part of the victims is troubling. They out and out refuse, using the vernacular, to "run their shit". This means give up their cell phones to the armed thug. Then, after refusing, they decide that they may have a chance to OUTRUN a BULLET! I would say it was very unlucky for these ladies that they were not blessed with much in the way of common sense.

Why do people still shop at Green Acres anyway? Larcenies, robberies are commonplace there. I have lived in the area for 12 years and can count on one hand the number of trips I have made there.

Any 1762ers shop at GA?
