The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that state Rep. Gerald Greene, R-Cuthbert, was shot in the leg during a robbery and was treated at a Columbus hospital. He was released later Thursday.

Initial reports from Speaker David Ralston’s office were that Greene had stopped for gas on his way from Atlanta to his home in Randolph County. Ralston spokesman Kaleb McMichen said Friday his statement “was based on preliminary reports our office received immediately following the incident.”

According to a Columbus police incident report, Greene was robbed at 3:10 p.m. in a parking lot at 3009 Victory Drive, home of Foxes Cinema, an adult book and video store. The only thing stolen was Greene’s iPhone, the report says.

1. Was he angry at having to pay late return charges?

2. Made it to liquor store while carrying thousands in cash for tornado victims.

After he was shot behind the video store, Greene hobbled into the liquor store for help. Greene told the station he was carrying thousands of dollars in donations to help victims of last weekend’s storms in South Georgia.

8. He's been the swamp

Thousands of dollars in cash didn't make it to his house that night. Jeeezbusss,

3. Adult book store, gas station...

it's easy to confuse the two.

4. carrying thousands of dollars for victims at 3:10 am

sounds like repub family values at work again

6. He was probably doing some "research" there with the thousands of dollars in donations

7. He probably went in to use a gloryhole and got robbed when he left.

9. Never read the comments

It appears that Mr. Greene is posting in the story's Comments section as "President Trump."

11. That makes no sense

I checked it out on googlemaps. The parking lot for the liquor store looks pretty big. The Carousel Lounge, boasting exotic dancers, is between the liquor store and the movie theatre. Quite a walk for someone with a bullet in his leg. Wonder what really happened?

15. Please get real - It's a ReTHUG

It's a lie

[Phoenix61]

18. I realize his story is a lie

I'm just curious what the truth is. Bribe money? Pissed off girlfriend? Drug deal went down wrong?

19. It's in the story

Greene told the station that he has previously visited the cinema, which... is popular with men ages 18 to 40 and features booths where patrons can interact with each other.

12. He was on his way to vote against women's reproductive rights and got lost.

13. I thought GA had strict laws against things like sex toys and nudie mags

it's not like they're wholesome family-oriented products, like assault weapons.

14. Wow, where does he shop for porn?

Does he know about the Internets?

[Docreed2003]

16. I thought the same thing!

Wonder if he was actually headed to the strip club next door with all those sweet one dollar tornado donations he had on him?

17. Winner! Winner!

Chicken dinner!
