Fruit Stands Against Crime

I may have come up with a solution for the rising Memphis crime. It is unconventional, but effective nonetheless. At least it will make the criminals think before they act. Never know who has a gun. Let's put little old men with fruit stands. In hotspots all over town. Earlier today a robbery was thwarted by a seventy-nine yr. old fruit salesman. While he was attending to his fruit stand. He took a bite out of crime. Outside a local credit union. Where he has had his stand for years. The vendor known as " Mr. Roscoe", saw two young men. Both put on ski mask, and enter the bank. He entered behind them and shot one, in the chest. The robbers were caught a short time later. At a house down the street.Details at this point are sketchy. "Mr. Roscoe" and one of the robbers, were questioned for hours. Initially it was said the elderly man, posessed a gun owners permit. As the evening went on, that became unclear. The police aren't yet decided what charges will be filed. Which I think is a travesty in itself. This is why I support community policing. I would support 650 new officers, if it produced results like this.
