Ending to a Chaotic Walmart Shootout Just Did a Lot for the ‘Good Guys with Guns’ Argument
KTRH - Independent Journal ^ | 6-27-16 | Parker Lee

On Sunday, a peaceful Maine afternoon turned into a scene like something from an action movie, when gunfire erupted in a Walmart parking lot.

According to Augusta police, the occupants of two vehicles parked alongside one another were arguing over money when they suddenly began exchanging a barrage of bullets.

However, it wasn’t long before — as WGME reports — a pair of bystanders stepped in, ending the chaotic situation before it could turn into something far more tragic.

It was a local station - did the affiliate send on the interview to the national service? ABC/CBS/NBC/ ??

Here’s a link to an article in the Bangor Daily News:

https://bangordailynews.com/2016/06/27/news/augusta/augusta-police-identify-4-arrested-in-walmart-parking-lot-shooting/

Three of the four a pretty clearly “from away” and, trust me on this one, would stand out in just about any crowd in Maine. They were apparently Down East dealing in refined agricultural products. BTW, in Maine anyone 21 and over can carry a concealed weapon unless they are otherwise barred from possessing a firearm, no license/permit needed.

Wow. There are only 3 Black people in the State of Maine...and they are all involved in a shoot-out over drugs. What are the odds of that?

I live up the street a bit from this Walmart. Seems 3 black heroin dealers and a junky, white skank from Augusta were in a dispute over drugs and/or money. There were 2 people each in 2 cars and they exchanged some bullets. When one or more got out to escalate it, some good citizens drew on them and, after the guys realized they had other guns on them, stood down. The good, armed citizens held them at gunpoint until police arrived.

Governor LePage has tirelessly spoke about this very problem and said the black drug dealers are coming up and dealing and impregnating our women. Well, that got him in hot, “that’s racist” water for a while. In light of this, even the liberals will have a tough time refuting his statements.

In Maine, these New York blacks will be given a slap on the wrist, as will the local girl. They’ll be back at it again. It’s a shame our good citizens didn’t have the opportunity to righteously use lethal force as that would’ve sent a strong message to their vermin brethren back home that Maine and it’s citizens aren’t going to tolerate them any longer.
