For people that still don't GET IT>

This situation depicts,, why we carry guns, for self defense,, because criminals like this are not deterred by laws.

Senseless.

That's sad

I'm sorry to say I've seen people shot over less.

The biker may have been trying to call the punk's bluff.  

Although not a smart move, I've been in a similar situation and got away with standing up to the thief.  Times like this shows me I was foolhardy and very lucky.

I hope the shooter gets what's comming to him.

Titles and the media are almost amusing sometimes.  If the thug had demanded his wallet would the title have been Man Shot Dead over Wallet?

somehow, your story doesn't relate to the subject.  i was waiting for a "then some guy asked for our cycle keys...." and it never came.....

excellent picture by the way.

Hand over the keys and hope the bastard wrecks hard at the first corner. 

Oh yeah, maybe a good reason to always use the steering lock. Let them figure that out.

Looks like Geno's and Pat's are less than 5 miles from the location of the shooting. I can see the relevance.

Unfortunately, this sort of thing can happen almost anywhere in Philly. Sad very sad story, seems the owner recently graduated from college and was just visiting his GF.

Joey Vento rides (owner of Geno's) and i have ridden with him quite a few times.
Geno's....have not been there in a long time...
