Storeowner thwarts robbery in the name of Jesus

A woman who owns a store in Texas ordered a would-be robber to get out “in the name of Jesus,” and the ploy worked.

Marian Chadwick, who owns a store in Frisco, says she stood her ground when a man burst in with a gun Monday evening and demanded money.

Chadwick says she commanded the would-be robber to get out of the store "In the name of Jesus.”

When the armed man balked and continued to demand money, Chadwick says she again refused, and told him, "I bind you in the name of Jesus and the Holy Spirit."

At that point, she says, he slowly backed off and then left the store. "It was just like this whole store filled with the power of God,” she said.

No one was hurt in the incident, which a customer witnessed and which was recorded on the store's security camera.

Apparently this store owner was more concerned about her money and her stuff than she was with the life of her innocent patron standing right there.  It's one thing to risk your own life on stupid.  I'm betting the customer was wishing that she would STFU and give the guy what he wanted.

She got lucky.  She was incredibly stupid and got lucky.
