Brutes of a different sort

A recent conversation within the NRN Online department:

Speaker #1: “Lisa is working on a news item about a plan to fight restaurant crime in Oakland. Apparently there’s been a rash of what they’re calling ‘takeover’ robberies.

Speaker #2: “What’s a takeover robbery?”

S.#1: “Guys come in with guns and take over the restaurant.”

S. #2, after a pause: “Are they sure they’re not just investors?”
