Good Guy with a Gun Turns the Tables on 7-Eleven Robbers in Florida

A Florida robbery Saturday ended up far from whatever two men had expected after one victim grabbed his gun.

The incident took place at about 7 p.m. in Dania Beach, according to WTVJ-TV.

Two robberies took place at a 7-Eleven. A victim was robbed at gunpoint in the store’s parking lot.

Justin Kessel, 19, is suspected of that crime, police said.

The suspect then entered the store, where a clerk was robbed. So far, everything was going according to plan.

But while the suspect was robbing the store, the victim decided he had had enough of being a victim and went to his car to retrieve his gun.

As the suspect left the store, instead of his getaway vehicle, he found the robbery victim with a gun. The suspect was shot by the victim, who fired multiple shots at him.

The victim then kept his gun on the suspect while waiting for police. However, while he was waiting, the driver of the getaway vehicle entered the picture.

The victim said a Honda CR-V attempted to run him over, but he was able to avoid the vehicle. The robbery victim then fired more shots, hitting the vehicle.

Kessel was taken into custody by police.

Police later found the vehicle that had been shot at during the incident.

Melvin Presley, 40, was found wounded in the vehicle. Presley had multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

"The robbery victim was questioned by police and later released."

And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is what is supposed to happen to this hero......NOTHING.

thank God this was Florida, because in a blue state they would have let the bad guy go and charged the hero with a crime!

The robber needs to be charged with Felony Murder for the death of his accomplice who was driving the car and attempted to run over the victim.

Ok, I would agree but wth?

I'm shocked that the bad guys are black.

75% of all blacks are born out of wedlock; i.e. bastards.

LBJ should be rotting in hell for how he destroyed the black family, and the "Planned Parenthood killers should be with him.
