Mac's World Make your own decision
Washington sees a week of armed hold ups as merchants fight back in shootings and robberies. A service station night manager kills a hoodlum, a grocer fires at bandits, a carry-out clerk shoots back, and a jewelry store owner, an owner of a market, and a liquor store proprietor engage in gun battles with robbers.
