Oh D'Oh They Didn't! TSA Posts Airport Screening Manual On Web
One of the armed four men who tried to rob a Harlem store, only for the 72-year-old shop owner to fire at them, killing two and wounding the others, was released on $60,000 bond. Shamel McCloud headed from the hospital to court on Saturday and was charged with first- and second-degree robbery; his relatives in Pennsylvania put up their home for the bail. According to the NY Times, "The criminal complaint said one of the men who was fatally shot had hit a store employee with a 9-millimeter pistol. McCloud and the two others struck the employee with their fists and tried to restrain him with duct tape, according to the complaint." McCloud's lawyer said his client did not have a record, saying he was "good family kid." The Post went to McCloud's home to get a comment: "Outside McCloud's East Elmhurst house, one relative said, 'He's coming along, he's alive,' before a second relative threatened to toss a pit bull at reporters."

"before a second relative threatened to toss a pit bull at reporters"
Lovely.
at least it's more honest than "he was a good family kid"
Ha ha, you guys beat me to it!
Has the store owner been charged with anything yet if at all?
The store owner was not charged with anything. His shotgun was registered in keeping with the law. Also, a shotgun owner does not require a license (unlike a handgun), but he still needs to register it.
(A previous Gothamist post clarified this along with the supporting link from the NYTimes.)
My thoughts exactly.
Nice and expected. Nice family kid? Your son beat someone up and tried to rob an old man for no reason. He's a piece of shit delinquent who will do it again until he kills someone or gets killed.
Real nice family kid.
The shit never falls far from the rectum.
+1
Hope he goes to prison and gets raped by a big black guy.
Do you mean like his cousin or brother?
Like his mother.
Don't mean to disappoint you but I've come to think that most of these guys who wind up in the slammer are on "da down low" anyways - freaks, the whole lot of 'em...
what is going on here with this story? I have been reading articles about this story since it happened and im definately getting the vibe that these guys who were killed during an assult and armed robbery are being painted as innocent victims within their community. its the strangest thing i have ever seen. why is the community mourning the death of these two guys? can someone explain it to me?
Did you just move here from Switzerland or something?
Jesus!!! Talk about Alice in Wonderland!!!
It's because their community has a sense of entitlement. They will not be able to rise from poverty until they fix their own within.
"good family kid."
Maybe if you're referring to the Manson family.
Good kid, huh? Last time I checked good kids don't commit armed robbery and beat people.
They should lock both of the two remaining thugs away for a long, long time.
these kids & their families are the types that are in nyc schools
the best part of the story is that the day after this happened a woman came by and placed a candle in vigil outside the store where one of the dudes got shot. The employee who got pistol whipped came out and kicked that shiz to the street and said, "who's this for, the dead guy? F*#k him!"
awesome.
also, another good part. the dude that led the robbery had something like 9 prior arrests for robbery and he caught buckshot to the face. that's what you get son!
You have to give these dudes some breathing room. 9 priors is nothing, the average thug usually is in the low twenties before they serve some serious time. You know like four or five weeks.
PUT THESE MOFO's AT HARD LABOR AND IF 75% DIE DOING IT SO MUCH THE BETTER.
PUT THEM IN SHACKLES, DRESS THEM UP AS POLAR BEARS AND PANDAS AND MAKE THEM PARADE DOWN TIMES SQUARE AND IF THEY GET SWEATY SO MUCH THE BETTER. HAHAHAHA.
