Image that you work at a convience store in Covington, Kentucky. It might be easier if you imagine yourself with a mullet. You with me now?

Ok. Time for a little quiz. Imagine that you’re minding your own business at the counter when a man walks in brandishing an original NES zapper gun. Do you:

a) throw up your hands and empty the register.

b) fall over with laughter and shame the perp into leaving?

c) Pull out the baseball bat from behind the counter and clock the retard over the head?

Well, if you were the clerk in this real life situation, you gave them the money. I’m not sure if it was that he had never seen one before, or maybe the guy was just freaking scary. Regardless of the reason, the guy got away with about $100 and then the cops were called in.

It wasn’t until the alleged store zapper was arrested that the police discovered his gun was only dangerous to pixelated ducks and the cashier’s pride. The Assistant Kenton Commonwealth Attorney, Leanne Isler had this to say, “Victims and police did not know the gun was a toy until after it was all over…the defendants could have easily gotten themselves, or innocent bystanders shot.”

Did the color, shape, or cord dangling from the bottom not give it away?

For robbing a store with a 20 year old gaming pistol, the co-defendants, yes, this mastermind had a look out, were given ten years in the prison. Doesn’t that seem a bit harsh?

I’m sure robbing a 7-11 with a toy gun gets you all kinds of cred in the pokie!
