Two thugs thought they had an easy score when they saw a single man eating in his car in a Whataburger parking lot in Dallas, Texas. They were very, very wrong.
Two armed robbers picked the wrong victim in northwest Dallas.
Police said they approached a man eating his dinner in the parking lot of Whataburger at Inwood Road and Lemmon Avenue and tried to rob him around 1 a.m.Thursday morning.
The man was an off-duty, but armed security guard. He shot and killed one of the robbers. The other ran away.
Armed robbers fully expect compliance. If a trained victim with a plan of action feigns compliance before suddenly and smoothly responding, they quite often overwhelm the criminals both physically and mentally.

I just love a story with a happy ending.
One less stupid DemoRat of Food Stamps....
I love these stories with a happy ending.
“Cool, there’s a guy eating by himself in a parking lot at 1:00 am. Easy mark!”
Two possibilities: The guy is clueless, or the guy knows what he is doing. The thugs didn’t consider the second option.
“If you have good training, have a plan in place, and practice realistically, criminals with little or no training will typically end up on the short end of the stick, even if they have the initial advantage.”
Agreed. As a proud Texan who lives in a highly civil and well mannered city, I still make sure I can defend myself everywhere I go, even walking my dog.
The risk of death is higher for the thug in Texas than is most States.
Q: Can I strap a gun on my hip in Texas?
A: No, with some exceptions. ...
It's the middle of March - I can't believe these people haven't updated their web site...
Didn’t he know that #THUGLIVESMATTER ?
Clearly people need to be more culturally sensitive!
“You have to look at it from every child’s point of view that was raised in the hood,” said Harris. “You have to understand… how he gonna get his money to have clothes to go to school? You have to look at it from his point-of-view.”

I would think that awareness of these things would do more for public safety than Rape Awareness Week.
Started a petition to change their name to Whata’Weiner but nobody would sign it.....
That statement is actually belied by this:
Q: Can I strap a gun on my hip in Texas?
A: No, with some exceptions. Open carry is not legal in Texas until January 1st, 2016, but you may open carry on your own property, in the commission of a sporting activity (competition, shooting ranges, etc.), and while engaged in hunting.
Texas requires a permit to open or conceal carry a handgun (outside of the above-noted exceptions). How is that not an infringement?
Hey Jeff, I'm a former Idaho native, and the rules when I lived there were open carry (anywhere, with some restrictions), and conceal carry (outside city limits only) did not require a permit. Only concealed carry within city limits required the permit. Did that change? It's been more than a decade since I lived there, but I still visit family every so often.
So open carry is legal in Texas now? That must be a sight to see.
What does IIRC mean?
We have Whataburgers in Florida, too.
If I Recall Correctly (IIRC)
WHATABURGER made a statement that it DOES NOT APPROVE of concealed OR Open Carry on it’s property.
WHATABURGER prefers you get robbed and possibly die.
Not very good for a Texas based corporation, huh?
What sets Texas apart from all the other states is that here I can legally walk out of my house and shoot someone who is breaking into my car or stealing my property. No warning - just pull the trigger.
I can even do the same if someone is stealing my neighbors property.
There is no legal obligation to back down here.
Now, I wouldn’t shoot someone for breaking into my car. But, if I happened to surprise someone, or they surprised me, and shots were exchanged, the perp would not be able to accuse me of not backing off as would happen in most other states.
The laws here protect me - the innocent party.
If they don’t say what race they were, you know what race they were.
Half happy. One is still alive.
Hopefully he will get fried for capital murder, since he is legally responsible for the death of his “partner” under the capital murder rule.
