Police arrested man who allegedly fired at gunman who killed three people and wounded four others

[Bob434]

Not sure about their copywrite policy of the NY Post Star, so I'll just summarize,

Police have arrested a Rochester NY man who fired at a gunman who opened fire on a crowd of people standing outside the Rochester Boys and Girls Club- The shooter killed three people and wonded four people.

32-year-old Quartermaine Titus then fired at the leaving vehicle with a .22, and has been arrested for trying to protect the public apparently

Apparently when gunmen open fire on vulnerable crowds, we're expected to sit idly by and do nothing, and allow the gunmen to escape unharmed- I suppose next the law will require us to give the gunmen all our cash and SS numbers before they depart.

Anyway- pretty sad that people aren't allowed to protect those around them any longer- Details on the story aren't fully known yet, but it 'appears' that Titus is now a possible criminal for trying to protect the crowd and stop a mass murderer- but I'll reserve judgment until more is known

No good deed goes unpunished.

In some states self defense and protecting others are far more serious crimes than multiple murder. Criminals are vicarious agents of the Government who do their jobs keeping the middle class off balance.

Sure he wasn’t arrested for being named “Quartermaine Titus”?

[seacapn]

Question is, was he a criminal previously? Ie, was he a felon-in-possession?

[cripplecreek]

He’s apparently the son of an extraordinary gentleman but isn’t really all that extraordinary himself.

[ViLaLuz]

Maybe they’re gangsters shooting at each other?

[cripplecreek]

Ya gotta let em get all the way home so you know where they came from.

Quartermaine Titus

Now THAT is a name one could be proud of. Wonder what his buds call him? Quart? Fifth? Two-Pint?

[Rome2000]

Sounds like probable cause.

[absalom01]

That’s my bet.

Its New York, biggest waste of air on earth.

QT?

[[Question is, was he a criminal previously? Ie, was he a felon-in-possession?]]

That’s what I wondered, but I would think the police report news report would include that info if he was a felon

Thanks Greybeard- I don’t usually post articles so I didn’t know how to post the l ink-
