Sometimes it takes a village to stop thieves: Pickle Guys shop owner Alan Kaufman thwarted two thieves who tried to rob his store. In the pickle pun- /metaphor- /allusion-heavy Post story, Kaufman used a broom to beat the two men and kicked the one with a gun in the groin, saying, "I kicked him in the pickles." One of Kaufman's employees arrived and helped restrain one, while the other would-be thief ran away. Then a "passing skateboarder" came by to help Kaufman and his employe restrain the gunman, who tried to offer his gold chain in exchange for being allowed to leave. Pickles, gold chains, skateboarders, kicks to the groin, and armed robbers - everything that makes the Lower East Side tick. And the police arrested 18 year old Quetin George while his partner in would-be crime is still at large.

Good for the Pickle Guy! It's always encouraging to hear about regular people who turn the tables on these punks. Maybe it will make one or two of them think twice in the future before they decide to try to rip off someone honest.
Wow, not only does he share my last name, he also shares my kicking-in-the-pickles defense tactic!
Yeah for good samaritan skaters!
I bet a lot more people would think twice if law abiding shop owners were allowed to carry licensed firearms in this city. Easy, I know we love the dems and all, but really, it's just plain unfair (and unconstitutional).
"I kicked him in the pickles..." How many decades has Kaufman been waiting to use that line?
not sure, but i believe store owners are allowed to have a gun on the premises
Lick a pickle...
ah, New York, New York
half sour,
always sweet.
How many punks would a pickle man pickle if a pickle man could pickle punks?
