The most troubling aspect is why it took months to clear the store owner when it was obviously self defense against armed robbery and attempted murder.
Unless I misread the article, it look like it took less than three weeks, from July 3 to July 23.
That’s what I’m talking about! My British friends, don’t you wish you had this choice too?
Por favor, its a Modern Sporting Rifle.
Could be my mistake...I could have sworn in another FR posting about this was that it happend in november.
The point remains...it shouldnt have taken three hours to clear him....much less almost three weeks.
Agreed, especially with the video evidence.
I call mine `Roscoe’.
dear tumblin,
re:’roscoe’ .....
if you were to look up all the various names for handguns, in any detective fiction, in the era of dashiell hammett, or earlier, you will find that you are not the first, nor the last, to name ‘your piece’, as ‘roscoe’.
What gets me about this raid is that it seemed to be a very “professional” job. By this I mean considerable planning and forethought, and some degree of discipline by the robbers.
They knew it was a harder target, so planned accordingly and used two vehicles, a ramming vehicle and a getaway vehicle, with the idea that the ramming vehicle had a good chance of being disabled.
With that much planning, they also knew that time was at a great premium, so needed to identify what would be stolen that was of high value, light and easy to carry. Once the gate was breeched, they all had to work very quickly.
Hit by gunfire, they immediately fled and didn’t try to shoot it out, and when the one went to the hospital, he had nothing to say.
Based on these things, I suspect the robbers were a robbery gang, likely from out of state, knew exactly what they wanted to steal and had a fence waiting to take the hot merchandise.
It says “video” but all there is is a still shot of the shoot.
Excellent observations. I had similar thoughts, but did not get as far as you. Quite a bit of planning involved.
In the article, right after it says “He fired about 7 shots.”
There is a phrase “Link to Video” that should be highlighted.
Click on that, it should take you to the video. It worked when I tried it now.
Uh, ok.
Got it.
He drizzled his shizzle full of mizziles.
It’s an AK, full name `Boris Roscoevitch’. I don’t have a name yet for my recently acquired AR-15. I’m thinking `Sam’.
G-damn commie city makes the guy wait 20 damn days to find out they won’t prosecute him.
I f@cking hate Milwaukee socialist government.
Fired 7 shots...
When in doubt empty the magazine....
