Virginia Clerk Is Locked Up for Shooting at 3 Masked Robbers in His Store. Not a Typo.

A Virginia store clerk heard a crash that sounded like a car had crashed into the place at 4:30 a.m. on Sunday. He grabbed a gun and shot at three masked men he found stealing merchandise and cash from the shop.

When it was over, the clerk was the one in handcuffs. He now sits in jail on no bail, charged with crimes for which he could be locked up for 20 years. Those charges include: "Malicious Wounding, Reckless Handling of a Firearm and Violation of a Protective Order."

Police say they'll get around to charging the robbers later.

What's wrong with this picture?

The police incident report says that this is what got 33-year-old Hamzeh Abushariah sent to jail,

The preliminary investigation indicates that three subjects forced entry into a business and began stealing cash and merchandise. An employee inside a secure back room heard the break in, retrieved a firearm, opened the door to the sales floor and discharged the weapon, striking one juvenile subject. The employee retreated to the back room but reentered the sales floor and discharged his weapon again as the subjects were attempting to flee the business.

As long as the jury pool is not comprised completely of folks from Alexandria, the clerk should be acquitted.

What’s going on with this? Lets listen on a “Progressive” group “Disarm and Stop the Harm!” strategy conference.

” You have heard many speakers as well as the points that I have outlined for you today but what is our final objective do you ask? It is to disarm the civil population in particular our ideological enemies in order to gain and maintain control. We must remove all weapons with “commonsense” gun legislation and with our allies in the media stigmatize possession and use of firearms even for defense. If for some reason an individual uses firearms for protection a way must be found to present criminal charges to reeducate the public that firearm usage outside of state control is both illegal and immoral and will not be tolerated. What about the urban gangs and criminal elements that are committing crime and obtain firearms outside the registration system? Well this too works to our ultimate goals! With the population disarmed and afraid of rising violent crime there will be a call for someone to do something which gives us the perfect opportunity to implement the measures necessary to take and maintain control of the civil population. We along side other Progressive groups will continue the march to achieving the final revolution and our racial and class enemies won’t realize what has happened until they begin to see the social leveling that we will implement. I don’t have to remind you that everything you have just heard is for your ears only and not to be shared with anyone including intimate partners,friends,family,or lower functionaries in our organization. Thank you again for your efforts and let’s get everyone to disarm and stop the harm!”

They were in the store and they pointed what I thought was a gun at me. I acted in self defense because I was in fear for my life.

Careful. There may be store security video or other video. I hope the jury will do the right thing if the corrupt Soros dollars that bought a corrupt Virginia government lead to a prosecution, but any provable lie could be quite costly. "They were robbing my store, I am the victim, and I'll be happy to answer question later", should be followed by silence until a lawyer is present.

Ok, no back shooting. Does that apply to the police as well? “Stop or I’ll shoot” no longer applies?

Not so long ago, anyone wearing a mask was suspect unless it was eleven degrees with a thirty knot wind. Now the can easily get the drop on you.

Source, please? Or is this just a very well constructed guess at what they would be saying?

“discharged his weapon again as the subjects were attempting to flee the business.”

~ No back-shooting.

I suspect the shop owner also failed to make the “correct” political “contributions” he was “expected” to make.

Near DC - quite likely, although the police in liberal third world shitholes like northern VA, NJ, NY etc. generally look for reasons to arrest and charge people who effectively defend themselves with firearms.

The group is fictitious but is this the true agenda of the anti Second Amendment groups? The evidence that I see is that it is. If it’s not please feel free to enlighten me I’m open to hear what you believe.

Very good question... I suspect it doesn’t apply to cops.

Depends.

A couple of years ago a cop in North Charleston, SC (I think)shot a running criminal in the back and ended up in prison.

Correct me if I missed any important details.

No, you are right about their intentions, if they were ever truthfully spoken. For my “protection” and for their own “safety” they want me disarmed and unable to defend myself.
