@chickgonewrong "Put the gun down. My friend here is working on probation." I told the idiotic robber, hands in a gesture for them to lower the gun.
The robber only laughed at us, "Oh, what he do? Steal a candy bar?"
In his gruff tone, my patient answered slightly manically, "I killed a man for pulling a gun on me..."
"Kind of like what you're doing now."
Silence.
