slide_advantage_redoux Posted July 19, 2006 Report Posted July 19, 2006 Customer Subdues Robber With Applesauce By Associated Press 5 hours ago PHILADELPHIA - A customer at a city grocery tackled an armed robber and beat him with a can of applesauce when he refused to drop his gun, police said. The suspect shot himself in the head during the struggle, and passed out after the 66-year-old customer administered four blows to the head with the Mott's applesauce. "Finally, the guy passes out," said Det. Curtis Matthews. "There's blood everywhere _ on the floor, all over." About 15 customers were in Gomez Grocery in the city's East Germantown section when the gunman walked in Sunday afternoon, jumped atop a small freezer and pointed the gun at store owner Eddie Gomez, police said. Customer Thomas Santana, who is 5-foot-4, grabbed the 6-foot-1 gunman from behind when he was on the freezer, and with help from Gomez knocked him down. The suspect, 23-year-old Thomas Reyes, was in stable condition at a hospital, and was expected to be charged with attempted murder, attempted robbery and other charges, authorities said. Quote

Dan Gould Posted July 19, 2006 Report Posted July 19, 2006 That's nothing. We played a gig last night and the soundman was Gordy Howe. Oohhh Man, how was the sound check!? Used sound technique on the check. Introduced him firmly to the (sound) board and like any good engineer, made sure that the band didn't want to go anywhere near the board again. Quote
