Although not necessarily known for their cantankerousness or rowdiness, Kansans are not to be messed with. Heck, we even require gun ownership in some parts. And it definitely means you can't dress up like an idiot and try to rob a store, or you will be mocked and ridiculed by old ladies like the dumb fool you are (all emphases added):
A man who tried to rob Wholesale Beauty Club at 4800 W. Maple on Saturday around 3 p.m. got laughed out of the store.He wore an "old man" Halloween mask, a black hoodie, black jeans and black gloves. He even had a semiautomatic handgun, according to the 19-year-old who reported the incident.
He demanded money but got laughed at by customers.
An elderly lady reportedly said, "Don't do this while I'm here."
The man got mad and walked out of the store as customers continued laughing.
His race could not be determined, and reports of his height varied from 5-foot-10 to 6-foot-5, according to the police report.
Either way, police said, "they thought he was a joke."
Of course, when you start by robbing a beauty supply store, you just know it's going to all go wrong from there.
