LINCOLN — The two armed men robbing Gen-X Clothing in June 2011 warned store manager Matthew Kim not to report the crime.

He reported it anyway, leading to the arrest of the two men.

One robber's brother showed up at the 76th and Cass Streets store two weeks later and shot Kim 12 times to keep him from testifying. The brother followed up with telephone threats against Kim, his mother and his son.

Kim testified anyway, helping send all three men to prison.

1. Bunch of losers

I'm glad Kim got his Comp.

2. Brave

What a Brave man Mr. Kim is, what a shame that Gen-X clothing and the insurance company were not. Both could have done the right thing from the beginning, but know they had to be pushed and shoved another example of cowardly leadership.

the shooter should be charged with attempted murder and the compensation should be paid. If I were shot 12 times I would be a wreck.
