He was the bad guy. I'm ok with him not being armed. I'm also ok with him getting shot in the head.

This thread title implies something else.

Mr. Munny.

Good shoot. Deadly force is authorized to stop the commission of a robbery (including a strong-arm robbery) per PL Article 35.

You gotta love them head shots, GAME OVER.

Police took the owner to the 43rd Precinct stationhouse for questioning. He was later released. He is believed to be a legal gun owner.

Years ago in NYC, Italians owned most of the corner stores that sold deli, cigarettes, beer, and quick items. Than the Puerto Ricans bought them and the name stuck since that's what they are called in Puerto Rico. Then came the Koreans, and finally now all the Arabs own them. The Bodega name has stuck to this day for some reason.

It's a city thing. The word is never used North of lower Westchester.

You are such a prude Pod.

i have no clue .. but as a Italian .. Bodega is like saying Dago .. or WOP .. used as an insulting and contemptuous term for a person of Italian or Spanish birth or descent .. With Out Papers .. they really should change it to Bordello

Its a corner store that has a high probability of being robbed at gun point. Annd sells overpriced items

What until the 10,000 get across the border. SHTF in all cities large and small.

Oh if you only knew how wrong you are.

Bodega is an acceptable and non-exonymous term. Perfectly polite to use it.

Isn't he the guy running against Cruz for the senate?

I thought bodega described any small cafe or shop with a table or two outside?

I think thats a Bistro, or is that the guy that ran Cuba.

I looked it up. Bodega is a generalized term for small convenience marts.
There is a wide variance of stores under the term.

Bodega and NYC yellow cabs are the shi*

I'm glad to hear that he will not be charged, but chances are that his pistol license might be suspended pending an "investigation" by the corrupt nypd licensing division.
