We recently had a 16 yo girl hold up a convenience store with an air gun a few blocks from the cop shop. Ended up she actually wanted a Suidide By Cop, and she got it.

The next day, her family issued a statement in support of the cop and admitted the girl had mental issues.

Kinda why I like where I live.

[sparklite2]

Mine, too. And not from the short-lived TV show.

These people don’t even know what we are talking about.

Did you know there were two different Gildersleeves on the radio?

A few years back in Detroit a man in his mid 40s with 2 younger guys broke into a guy’s house while he was at work 3 times within a week.

On the 4th day the victim came home early and the 3 perps ran. The victim caught the older guy and cornered him in an alley. The old thug decided to laugh at the victim who then shot him DRT.

The judge was surprisingly lenient and gave him something like 18 months in jail. She said that it was like a rancher protecting his herd and didn’t feel that he had any other choice. Unfortunately the federal “guidelines” got him 15 years on top of that.

CT sucks

Just have to note he was a CC didn’t they?

Hey, not all CC are Republicans or Christians.

Almost all gun crimes are done by people who couldn’t own a gun. Not to mention the fact they were violating some other restrictive gun law

Oronsaye said he wasn't convinced the shooter acted properly.

"Some people don't actually know how to use guns," he said. "They go to firing ranges, but it's not the same as a bullet going into someone's body, it's not the same as a bullet going into flesh. They should be able to wound first, kill next. He didn't deserve to get shot multiple times."

Shoot to wound? When they announce a robbery with a gun in their hand? A gun that they believed looked realistic enough for a successful hold-up? Riiight.

[SkyDancer]

But it was okay with them that he tried to rob the place. So, only cops can shoot?

[cripplecreek]

They should be able to wound first, kill next.

Any firearms instructor worth his salt will tell you that if you're shooting to wound, it likely isn't a justified shooting.

Center mass every time and keep firing till the threat is gone.

[goodnesswins]

[C210N]

He didn't deserve to get shot multiple times...

[Blood of Tyrants]

Yep, the person quoted seems to think that no ex-con ever tried to illegally possess a firearm.

[txrefugee]

Will the last person with an unpronounceable name who leaves Africa to come squat in the U.S please turn off the light?
