Deli Owner Uses Boiling Oil

Sometimes you don’t even have to have a gun to stop an armed robber. This intended victim stopped his with boiling oil. The guy tried to rob a deli in Linden, NJ just after lunch. The owner happened to be carrying a container of boiling oil, with which he doused the gunman, who ran away without the money. The cops say they didn’t get a good face shot on the security video, but “other obvious injuries” will probably identify him when he seeks treatment; and he will. Good for this fast-thinking deli owner. Thanks to him, this robber’s “career” will soon be interrupted by a long jail sentence (after he recovers from his burns). (Short News)
