Good job,Security guard. We don't want thieves in our country. He was given a gun in order to use it for the right purpose and we feel that he has carried it out. Hope Police will bail him out early and make way for him to justify his action in court.

Why give a gun to a guard if he cannot use it in defence of Master's property

He went to a wrong place to steal, should have been a parliamentary member, steal money and escape unhurt and sill have a good name around the world.
