"The woman's boyfriend, seeing what was happening, got out of the car and shot the robber several times."

Let's hear it for "gun control"! :)

And the robber lived?

Must have been a small caliber pistol to hit a guy several times and that guy lives.

Lucky for the couple, the reporter wasn’t the type to reveal their name and neighborhood. The impression I get is some reporters will tattle if they think the crook ‘didn’t deserve’ to be shot up.

Robber: “I say! I’ve been shot! Several times, it appears. I supposed I’d best get into this waiting vehicle. Jeeves! Away!”

> The robber was flown to Sarasota Memorial Hospital’s trauma center and is said to be recovering.

Good news except for the sad ending.

If there was gun control, the robber would not have had a gun.

It was nearby, the perp wasn’t Amish. You can now imagine how the Media will handle it to get the most out of it. Another Travon T shirt opportunity.

And while I was browsing and found the New York story, this popped up. Thought you might be interested in what the noise was all about and why the exaggerations from leaks were published by the lefty media outlets.

Don’t let us be disarmed by the Democrats after the 2020 elections, or we won’t have the option that the Florida man may have saved his girlfriend’s life with.

Good story, bad shot placement since the creep lived and he’ll now probably have to fight against a lawsuit brought on by the doctor to be.

The guy doing the shooting definitely needs to work on his gun control. The shooting speaks of panic on the part of the shooter. More training, a well placed shot and the shooter would only have had to shoot the robber once.

Q: Why did he have to shoot him SIX times?

A: Because his gun only had SIX chambers.

He was shot several times and then went to the Goodwill store? Maybe he thought the Goodwill store was something else???

GOOD! Unfortunately, we will have to pay for the hospital visit. Too bad it didn’t die. But then we would have had to pay for the burial.
