Chick-fil-A Worker Heroically Disarms Armed Robbery Suspect in Georgia
In the early morning hours of July 1st, an extraordinary altercation unfolded at a Chick-fil-A in Stone Mountain, Georgia. An employee of the popular fast-food chain courageously faced off against an armed burglary suspect in a heart-stopping confrontation that lasted three long minutes.
The scene unfolded around 4:30 a.m., as an unsuspecting delivery driver was prepping for his shift. Suddenly, 51-year-old Tommie Lee Williams used a rock to shatter the drive-thru window and break into the restaurant, as reported by the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office.
The surveillance footage, available for viewing on the sheriff’s office Facebook page, shows a masked Williams, gun in hand. He forcefully directs the employee to the restaurant’s rear, insisting he open the safe. According to the Sheriff’s Office, Williams threatened the employee, saying, “he was going to die if he didn’t open the safe.” However, the employee confessed to police that he didn’t have the combination to the safe.
Without warning, the employee seized a moment of opportunity, lunging at the weapon in Williams’ grip.
This sparked a fierce exchange, during which the worker managed to envelop the suspect in a bearhug, preventing him from aiming the weapon. Despite receiving several blows from the gun, the employee fought back, delivering a series of punches and elbows. In the midst of the scuffle, the gun was knocked to the floor.
Undeterred, the Chick-fil-A worker managed to get the suspect in a headlock, forcing him into the back room. But the suspect was far from defeated, retaliating with choking and kicking.
In a brief respite in the brawl, Williams escaped from the hold, scrambled to retrieve the firearm from the ground, and retreated to the kitchen, out of the view of the surveillance camera.
According to the police, Williams made his exit through a rear door and had vanished from the scene by the time law enforcement arrived.
Police later linked a vehicle spotted in the vicinity of the incident to Williams. Warrants were obtained for his arrest, and Williams was subsequently apprehended by U.S. Marshals and the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Department.
Williams now faces multiple charges, including armed robbery, aggravated assault, second-degree burglary, kidnapping, possession of a firearm during a crime, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and second-degree criminal damage to property. He is currently being held at the Gwinnett County Jail, with bond details yet to be released.

Arizona Engineer’s Headless Body Found in Desert: Friend Charged
An Arizona man has been charged with the murder of his childhood friend after the headless body of Alijah Bradley was discovered in the desert. The remains of the 24-year-old were found near Gila Bend, just days after his family had reported him missing.
Samuel Bush, 23, faces charges of second-degree intentional murder and concealing a body, with the charges being filed on September 4.
Bradley’s family was left puzzled over the motive behind the murder. A relative, who wished to remain anonymous, expressed their confusion to local news outlets KPHO and KTVK, stating, “We honestly don’t know. He was Sam’s best friend. He was Sam’s only friend.”
The family had reported Bradley missing on August 15 after he failed to show up for work and his mother had not heard from him. Bush had initially told the family he was unaware of Bradley’s whereabouts.
Using GPS coordinates, Bradley’s car was tracked to a remote desert location. On August 19, police found both the car and Bradley’s remains.
Authorities revealed that Bradley’s body had been dismembered, and confirmed that all parts of his remains had been recovered. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office has yet to comment on a potential motive for the crime.
Bradley’s aunt, Melissa McNeal, shared her sorrow with ABC15, stating, “It’s devastating. He was just beginning his adulthood.” She added, “I don’t feel a relief or anything because – it doesn’t bring him back. It doesn’t fix anything.”
Bradley’s mother, who chose not to be named, committed herself to seeking justice for her son, saying, “I’m committing my life to obtaining justice for my son.”
Bradley was a Northern Arizona University graduate and had recently celebrated his birthday. A fundraising page set up for his family described him as being “known for his free spirit and wild soul.”

Dad’s Heroic Fight Saves Son from Mountain Lion Attack
A California family experienced a terrifying ordeal during their Labor Day picnic when their 5-year-old son was attacked by a mountain lion. The incident occurred just before 4:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Tapia Day Use Area of Malibu State Creek Park in Calabasas, as reported by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office.
The boy’s family and several other adults and children were enjoying their time when the mountain lion suddenly grabbed the child by the head and began to run.
“Somebody screamed the baby’s name, and his dad started running,” the boy’s aunt recounted.
“The father grabbed the mountain lion with his hands, and he just fought. Then the mountain lion let go.”
The dramatic rescue unfolded in front of about 40 onlookers, some of whom noted that the mountain lion appeared completely unafraid during the attack.
Male mountain lions can weigh up to 150 pounds and measure up to 8 feet in length, making the father’s actions even more heroic.
The boy was promptly airlifted to Northridge Hospital Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. He was released later that Sunday but had to return to the hospital on Monday due to complications involving his eyes.
Upon arrival at the scene, California State Park rangers and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) officers found the mountain lion crouched in a tree near the picnic area.
The animal was deemed a threat to public safety and was euthanized by a ranger.
Wildlife officers collected evidence from the boy’s injuries, including DNA swabs from the bite marks, which were matched to the mountain lion.
“CDFW and State Park officials are thankful that the family is safe, and the child is recovering and no one else was injured,” the CDFW stated.

and I am sure, THIS is NOT his first entry of his rap sheet. Savages need to be removed from a civil society. IF Amerika is not civil, taxpayer’s money needs to be withheld from the pubic serpents, until we are civil. This allowing savages and animals to roam free, needs to STOP NOW ! Keep your savage animals in the yard, or on a leash. Lose animals should be shot, if not controlled.
