Would-be robber sends note

2009-12-03 16:41
line

Shirley - A convenience store owner who showed compassion to a would-be robber says he received an apology note and $50 in the mail.

The unsigned note said it was from the man who tried to rob Mohammad Sohail, who has a store on Long Island near New York City. The note said the would-be robber has a new job, a child and is staying out of trouble.

Sohail told the newspaper Newsday that he was saving the $50 for charity.

The bat-wielding man tearfully told Sohail in May that he was trying to feed his family.

Jaba says... lol godfrey why the sudden change of heart? Dear Mr "I lived there" expert. How is a war between two nations worse than Apartheid? Maybe because it is! However according to the Palestinians, their self inflicted oppression will only end once Israel is destroyed. yes... the war will continue until the Palestinians change their leadership to a peaceful one. BTW, if you call firing rockets, blowing up buses/coffee shops etc, throwing rocks and planning to "kill all the Jews of the Middle East" (taken from Hamas's charter) as peaceful, than I can understand your state of mind and passion that the problem is with the Israelis. Also, if you call Israeli self defence initiatives like jacked-up border posts and huge walls instead of a fence as a border, as apartheid look-alike cruelty than the Israelis will laugh at you for as long as they are safe, your tree hugging leftist brain doesn’t seem to bug them much. I will go further to say that people like you, who cheer on Palestinians’ stubbornness at never making peace have much blood on your hands – indirectly of coarse. Read the article...
