At mid-afternoon on Thursday in Houston, three armed punks walked into the Castillo Jewelry Store, announced it was a robbery and began to tie up the owner's wife. It gave him just enough time to pull a handgun and a shotgun and kill all three thugs.
During the gun battle, Mr. Castillo, the store owner was shot in the shoulder and stomach. He is in surgery and reported in fair condition. His wife was physically unharmed. The three wastes of skin who tried to rob the store are very dead. :)
Castillo defended his wife (hero), defended his business (hero), and made a long awaited statement to the community that this is what will happen when you screw with a hard working, self employed business man in that part of town.
Police believe all the dead guys were in their 20s. Think of the money Mr. Castillo saved the State of Texas by not having to house, clothe and feed these dirt bags (now dirt nappers) for 15-20 years, or longer.
Get well soon, Mr. Castillo. You did good.
If you'd like to send him a get well card (I did), the address is:
Mr. Ramon Castillo
Castillo Jewelry

Houston, TX 77011
I heard a similar story yesterday about a Bodega owner who got "tazzed" by a mugger. He managed to get to his knees and crawl behind the counter and grab his baseball bat where he proceeded to wail away on the robber, chasing him out of the store where the cops caught him 2 blocks away. God I love these "feel good" stories!!
