MS: Alleged Kidnappers of Handgun Competitor: 1 Dead, 1 Corrections Officer (picture)

A couple of weeks ago, two armed criminals kidnapped a doctor at gun point.  They did not realize that their intended prey was also a combat handgun competitor who was loading guns and ammunition into his vehicle.  They forced him to take his vehicle to an ATM, where they extracted money.  Then they made a critical mistake.  They threatened his wife.  Accessing a handgun in the door of his vehicle, he shot and killed one of the suspects, Edwin Robinson.   Robinson is the larger man in the picture above.  The other suspect has been captured.

He turned out to be Andre Kennedy, shown on the right.    From wdam.com:

On Wednesday, Corrections Commissioner Marshall Fisher approved immediate suspension without pay of a correctional officer charged in a kidnapping, armed robbery and homicide that occurred in Jackson on Saturday morning.

Fisher learned after Andre Kennedy's arrest that Kennedy is one of 520 officers working at Central Mississippi Correctional Facility in Rankin County.

Kennedy, 22, was hired in January 2014.

He is charged with capital murder, robbery and kidnapping in a case involving an Eastover homeowner.

His partner in crime was shot and killed in what police are calling justifiable homicide.

The story has been moving at lightspeed all around the gun culture on the Internet.  Gun Watch carried an excerpt and link to the early story.  Now we have confirmation that the shooter was a doctor and combat handgun competitor.

Massad Ayoob calls this a fatal mistake in the victim selection process.  I suspect the good doctor carries more frequently, now.

I wonder what color that Ethiopian eunuch was? He had his own copy of the book of Isaiah and he had been to Jerusalem to worship.....whatever color he was.

By New Testament times, the Ethiopian claim of being descendants of Solomon and Sheba was at least 700 years old and maybe much older. Little doubt he would have been African black, or perhaps a little lighter.

I love stories with happy endings......

The now dead dumbass probably doesn't know it's a Star of David...

[SEVERELY off topic]: My usual response to these articles is "Good Riddance!", but your comment triggered recalling a scene from "Love at First Bite". It's in a nightclub and the Jewish psychiatrist outs the "count" as Dracula, who homes in on him in typical Bela Lugosi fashion. The doc whips out the Star of David and holds it in front of him, and Dracula just laughs. The doc suddenly realizes his mistake and says "Oh, it's the OTHER one."

This is horrible to say but I’m glad he is dead

I agree. It's a real tragedy, and a particular shame, that BOTH of them are not dead.

They do practice Judaism, and as their kids go through the IDF, have Orthodox Conversions, so they are, indeed, Jewish.

More thn a few are in the Israeli Police Reserves, the Mash'az armed police reserve, as well.

Commenters on a pic posted re: the Jessica Chambers murder, claimed a major black gang uses the six-pointed star as its symbol (presumably it is a network of six subgroups). Can’t remember which — Gangster Disciples?

Correct. Usually in connection with the number *360* or crossed pitchforks, or both.

The dominant group of American ‘African Hebrew Israelites’ was led by Ben Ammi Ben-Israel, originally from Chicago. Many migrated to Israel as tourists after the ‘67 War. There might be as many as 200,000 of them in the US.

Yep, ole Dr. G pumped four center mass. I heard he got two off at the other Son of Obama. I work with the daughter of one of the other two doctors he was getting ready to pick up to go to the competition.

Obama supporter who resented sneers at his master and rammed a restaurant with a car trying to murder people, getting the minimal sentence, gets part of his sentence overturned.

Truly a situation where armed self-defense could have benefited all of society.

What does that hand sign mean?

[petitfour]

I don’t like the things I have been reading about my home town. A man I knew when we were both children was murdered/robbed the other night at the Waffle House on High Street.

[Hawthorn]

>> he doesn’t look Jewish <<

But ironically, from what I hear via my Jackson contacts, the doctor seems to be of Jewish descent.

(I’m going by surname only. I’ve no idea as to whether the good doc can be categorized as “practicing” Judaism.)

“Nobody is bringing up the obvious upside of this for the doctor. He’s now probably has a lifetime carte blanche from the wife to buy any gun he wants.”

LOL!!

Yes, he probably does have her permission now but I doubt he needed it before.

Hey! He’s a member of Temple Beth You Is My Woman Now..

[PapaBear3625]

And he was working as a correctional officer in Mississippi. And here I thought it was only the unemployed yutes that were trouble makers. At least that's the narrative being pushed by the civil rights gurus. Go figure.

A criminal can make a lot of extra money as a corrections officer, by smuggling contraband in, and messages out.

Thanks for the ping. A job well done by the Doc.
We won’t have feed one of em for a life time.
