“In a situation like this I’d like to see a note stapled to the guy saying “He tried to rob me, he pulled a weapon, I shot him, I left to avoid persecution. Long live Charles Bronson!”

Change the name from Bronson to Paul Kersey and the local media would probably be running PSA’s for a week trying to get the public to help identify the mystery vigilante.

The people of Kansas City are the other victims, in the eyes of this liberal reporter.

Nice aim!

OK, to make it more concrete, how about “Long live Bernie Goetz?”

A bit more info here:

Victim Shoots Attempted Robber in Self Defense

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A 20-year-old man attempted to rob two victims at gunpoint near an ATM when one of the victim’s took out a handgun and shot him.

Police were called to the Bank of America, 8320 North Oak Trafficway, in regard to a shooting just before 9 a.m. Saturday.

When police arrived, they found a male in the parking lot suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.

He was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.

According to police, an older couple was leaving the drive-thru when a robber came up and pointed a gun at the wife’s head.

Her husband got out of the car with his own gun.

The suspect aimed for the husband, but the husband fired first shooting the robber in the head. The man and his wife were clearly shaken, but stayed put until police arrived to question everyone.

Officers said it looks like an open and shut case of self-defense.

Not found as previous post. Good gun control!

But the fact that the bank robber is still alive after being shot in the head indicates a need to use a larger caliber hand gun for self defense.

Just when I thought the news was too negative...

One less vote for obama. Then again, maybe not, the departed seem to vote for the dems quite regularly. I'd venture to guess that 'acorn' has bustling voter registration program just inside the gates of Hell.

“still alive after being shot in the head indicates a need to use a larger caliber hand gun for self defense.”

Nothing smaller than 230 gr hollow point .45...that’s my weapon of choice.

black male (approx. 20yrs old) in the parking lot suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.

Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.

It’s a blog so I guess there is no editor besides the writer himself or herself. Lousy writing, no doubt.

As to the perp, I’m waiting for dear old Mom to pop up and complain that the shooter had no right to shoot her Eagle Scout son who was just soliciting funds for orphans.

“Victim shoots mugger in head”....????

Wait!
I thought journalists were taught that being shot in the head, makes the mugger the victim?

Public edumacation ... Journalism Schools aren’t what they used to be. The libtards have been accumulating so long at newspapers and television news rooms that now they are the editing staff, hence errors only tend to compound ound ound ound.

“One less vote for obama.” Are you kidding? This piece of human excriment will be voting on the democrat slate for the next 100 years ... Kans ass has turned into a libtard hell, it’s the home of Tiller the Killer, protected by the governor of the state!
