My Friend Is Shot

[The Rabbi]

I've sometimes mentioned a good friend of mine, an Arab-American who owns a c-store.

So this AM he calls to tell me that last night he went to a hookah bar with a friend. As they were coming out two guys drive up and demand money. I am not clear exactly what happened (he was slightly less than coherent) but he said he didn't have time to react before he was shot in each thigh, one with a .40 and the other a .38 wadcutter.

He's out of the hospital but in a lot of pain.

I guess the moral is sometimes there really is no way to prepare for everything.

I Pray for a fast recovery and capture of the BG

[Guest Major Pain]

Sorry about your friend, hope everything works out ok for him. All we can do is try to be prepared but fate has strange twists.---MP

That's a shame. I pray for a speedy recovery also.

I do have a question for you Rabbi, Why did you choose to describe him by his nationality? Unless you are thinking it's a hate crime of sorts. To me a BG is a BG, and a victim is a victim.

I hope they catch them and they get to rot in jail for what they have done to an other wise law abiding person.

I mention this because some people on the board who also hang around the shop will know him, as he's pretty regular there.

I don't think it was a hate crime. Except that the low lifes who did it hate decent people, no matter what their color.

[TripleDigitRide]

That's a wild story. I hope he has a swift recovery.

What exactly is a Hookah Bar? Was this local?

Oh, ok. I would hate to think that a good guy was being targeted for being of middle eastern descent.

I'm glad to know that you don't think it is.

A hookah bar is basically a place to go smoke tobacco. A hookah is a tobacco pipe of Near Eastern origin with a long, flexible tube by which the smoke is drawn through a jar of water and thus cooled.

Oh, Gotcha. I've seen Hookah's being sold in stores, usually run by folks of Middle Eastern descent. They usually sit right next to the bongs and crack pipes. I had no idea they had a bar dedicated to them.

[R1100R]

Rabbi, sorry about you friend. I hope he gets well soon.

[Guest Len]

My condolences and hopes for a speedy recovery of the good guy and speedy capture of the bad guys.

[DWARREN123]

May your friend recover swiftly and may the police catch the low lifes who shot him!

Your not talkin bout T****** are you? If so that really stinks...he seems like a pretty cool guy. Im glad he just got shot in the legs and is alive.

[Guest builderwood]

[Guest c_o_jones]

I hope he makes a speedy recovery,

and may he score 100 on the marksmanship portion.

[Guest clutepc]

Sorry to hear about your friend Rabbi,

Take Care

[towerclimber37]

Being shot in the legs is no small matter! I hope he regains his ability to walk and makes a speedy recovery! I also hope that those who've done this to him are caught and prosecuted.

You guys mentioned that because of the rising gas prices, it's going to be harder to get by and crime will go up. I guess we're seeing that now.
