ST. CHARLES, Mo. (AP) — Police said a convenience store customer shot and killed an armed robber in a St. Louis suburb early Saturday.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the QuikTrip customer, who St. Charles police identified only as a 26-year-old man from St. Louis, grabbed a gun from his vehicle and confronted the robber after he saw the man grab the clerk and hold a knife to her throat.

Police said investigators believe the suspect was also responsible for a burglary and second robbery at two other gas stations that happened shortly before he went to the QuikTrip around 3:20 a.m. Saturday.

For some criminals, this is the only thing that will stop their re-offending.

The last thing that went through the assailant’s mind, other than the bullet, was “This is should be called an INconvenience store.”

Funny how when the shooting doesn’t fit the narrative, they report short accounts without any inciting rhetoric.

Holding up gas stations is quickly reaching the level of high-risk behavior.

But then most criminals do not work out even a rudimentary risk/benefit calculation before they impulsively rush in and terrorize their targets. It’s the adrenalin rush that they keep going back for. The money or the goods is just icing on the cake.

I say 2 years-

2 years of “cleansing”.

Then, after a time, it will be a bit more quiet and safe.

An armed society is a polite society.

If they defund the police, then you have to defend yourself and community.

I hope the customer gets a lifetime supply of beer or Red Bull from the store. Good shooting!
