Bubblehead Ray and Country Singer send us a link to an article from Georgia<\/a> where young Damien Durham robbed a convenience store in broad daylight to jump-start his new life. What he didn’t expect was that the small town of Rhine got plumb mad dog mean, they hastily formed an ad hoc posse, spread out around the town on foot and their vehicles to round up the outlaw;<\/p>\n

“People just kept coming around and they were mad, people in Rhine were mad,” [60-year-old Ken] Lowery said. “Here we had an armed robbery in the middle of the day at Aden’s and they wanted to form a posse.”<\/p>\n

Lowery says more than 20 people, many of them armed, spread out looking for the gunman, in trucks and on foot.<\/p>\n

“We didn’t have no leader of it all, we just went all our separate ways and the people in Rhine they knew they were going to get that rascal,” Lowery said.<\/p>\n

Lowery, a retired corrections officer, ended up tracking the suspect down roughly 200 yards away from the store. He fired a warning shot from his deer rifle and says the suspect stashed his gun and money, and hid in a nearby shed, where he was soon arrested by Dodge County sheriff’s deputies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That ought to bring the crime rate down in Rhine for a while. But I suspect that it wasn’t that high to begin with.
