At this point if my name was Michael Moore I'd think seriously about changing it. Nothing but bad karma there!
...and some of those folks are the best of the best in the world at killing bad guys.
Take that up with the leadership who set the procedures the cops are required to follow.
A couple of other notes, the robber shot in the neck was UA from the Navy and had a BB Gun, according to a statement one of the customers made to tv crews.
One final note, I saw the female customer riding her bike at the Oceanfront this past weekend.
Right, you know the good guy is no threat. But the donut munchers have got to look like they are doing something.
“Take that up with the leadership who set the procedures the cops are required to follow.”
Do the cops arrest and handcuff cops who shoot criminals? If not then this policy is pure tyranny by those who would punish you for defending yourself and others.
PAYOFF quotes from this hero:
“Still holding his drink in one hand, he fired first at the robber behind the counter. He aimed for his shoulder, he said, but ended up hitting him in the neck.”
After kicking the gun away from the dead robber, the man told the clerk to call police, then checked on the one behind the counter to take his gun away and see if he needed first aid.
“He was like, ‘How’s my brother?’” the man said. “I remember answering him pretty coldly. I told him, ‘You don’t got a brother no more.’
“He looked at me like he wanted to do something and I immediately lost it. I was like, ‘(Expletive), no one points a gun at me and gets away with it.’”
“You just shot and killed somebody in 7-Eleven. You just told these people to call the cops and they’re coming. You got to stand here and wait for them. Of course, you can’t be standing here with a gun in your hand. You’re a black man with a gun. You’ll probably get shot.”
The left will spin this as Black on Black crime.
“...No you don’t. ...”
It’s probably department policy. Doesn’t make it right, but they’re doing what they’ve been ordered/trained to do - to see ANY person with a firearm as a threat until otherwise noted.
This is the world we live in now, unfortunately and it completely sucks.
Lots of things to consider in such a short read ... I’ll be thinking about this one for a long time.
I agree with those who were there: he is a hero.
He is a real man, who is being tested, and he passed this one!
May the Lord bless him and all those in this story with His Healing and His Mercy.
Agreed.
The brothers have/had different last names. Different daddies, no big surprise.
They were both 18, indicating they had the same father, who impregnated two different baby-momas within a short time of each other.
So, if the shooter declines to answer any questions does he still have to get handcuffed and taken downtown? Just asking?
“I’m having chest pains”, call an ambulance for the good guy okay?
Oops, wrong place wrong time for those robbers...
He’d been involved in a “domestic disturbance” earlier in the day. Obviously he should have been “red flagged”. Then those poor teens would not have been hurt/killed.
Thanks csvset.
As far as I am concerned he is a hero.
Yes!
I agree.
