Payday-lending store held upThursday, July 10, 2008
A man held up a North Charleston payday-lending business at gunpoint on Tuesday, police said. He entered AAA Personal Check Advance at 1721 Remount Road around 11:40 a.m., lifted his shirt to show a female employee a handgun in his waistband and demanded money, a report says. Before leaving, the man ordered her to lie on the ground and not to get up for 10 minutes. He told her he had somebody watching her. Police described the robber as 20 to 25, about 6 feet tall and 170 pounds wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans. |

Pay lenders rip no one off. People who use them can't get a loan anywhere else due to bad credit. Bad credit=High interest. Should we give them loans for no interest? Never. This is a business not a charity. If they could not get any loan they would lose their house, car, lights, etc... Now they just have their credit ruined and a huge debt. So what. They didn't pay back the money and no one forced them to take it.
Enter bleeding-heart liberals.....

I wonder if he intends on paying it back at 589% interest?
