July 3 2008 Police in the southeast Missouri town of Poplar Bluff are looking for the gunman who robbed a man on Monday night, then gave him a hug before fleeing. The victim, Heath Chandler, 31,of Naylor, told police he was in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart store when a man approached and put a semiautomatic gun to his stomach. he assailant demanded money, so Chandler gave him the $25 he had. The man then took Chandler to a Jeep Cherokee driven by a woman. There, he gave the victim a hug before fleeing in the Cherokee. Detectives are studying Wal-Mart videotape as part of the search for the suspect. WHAT THE??????? What a weirdo. Why do you think he gave the guy a hug? crazy or just felt bad?

Oh my goodness!!! Well I'd rather be hugged by my mugger than shot by him. I wonder if something in the robbers life made him feel like he had no choice but to rob someone and the hug was a sign of regret for it?
