Another pharmacy robbed. This kind of thing is happening at an alarming rate in TN. Lawmakers should protect our pharmacies and throw the book at criminals like this. What will it take? Some poor pharmacist or cashier to be harmed? Wake-up people, our state is #1 among the other lower 48 in pharmacy robberies. Is this what we want TN to be known for -- and considered hillbillies and hicks? TN is a joke!
