Unknown location in the City of Santa Barbara, a jewelry store was robbed by two masked suspects.
I remember that day 1981 I never saw so many cops going through town at once..He did kill 2 and Steven Brooks the clerk got the other.
I was getting an ice cream at Thriftys across the street when that happened, heard and saw the aftermath. Kudos to Bryant.
So, who is wrong?
The News-Press, Santa Barbara, CA
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1981
Three armed men entered a Santa Barbara, Calif., jewelry store, ordered manager Steven Brooks and two customers to lie on the floor, and began smashing into display cases. When owner Robert Bryant, who saw the robbery on closed-circuit TV, started down a stairs to the show room, a robber fired on him. Bryant killed two robbers with his shotgun, but was wounded by the third man. At that point store manager Brooks pulled his own pistol and fatally wounded Bryant’s attacker.
Will they should not have come back Too bad so sad I’m glad he shot em dead True Justice…
Was about a year later Steven Brooks won a house in a local contest.
What is wrong with the old article?
I was on a patio at Robinsons with a female co worker we were just about ready to smooch when suddenly we heard all these sirens and saw dozens of police cars fly by lights and sirens will that was that she walked away I never saw her again.
Mr. Bryant was a true hero in every sense of the word. If you fire upon Mr. Bryant, you are gonna get your donut twisted!
I just heard it Patco on Haley street.. I’m not perfect and I aien’t no journalist but I always try to get the information…
Ol’ Man Bryant would have given these pukes a face full of lead and sent them on their way to Hades.
I wrote down what I heard three Black Male Adults with masks not scarfs over their faces, MASKS. Did not hear type of vehicle or weapons used.
Hope everyone, apart from burglars, is okay.
An armed society is an uncivilized society.
I don’t avocate everyone walking around with a holster and six-gun (or assault weapon) but if “being armed” in a high-risk business or situation where you have already been victimized isn’t “defending yourself”, what is?
Two black males in, Ventura robbed a jewlery store of a million dollars in jewlery ( that’s the amount the store owner said ) last week, too . Used the same method of robbery
( BMA’s with scarfs over their faces ) in both cases in, Santa Barbara & Ventura . Sounds like the same ones .
An armed society is a polite society.
Sounds like you’d be comfortable with only criminals having guns.
