A good example how an armed citizen can help fight crime.

If gun control is so effective, why do Baltimore and D.C. have such horrendous crime rates?

Way to go, Virginia!

[Ol' Dan Tucker]

"In the parking lot behind the "Treasure Chest" nightclub"... "The gentleman's club..."

Let's see... A "gentleman's club" named, "Treasure Chest".

I wonder what kind of "establishment" this could be?...

"hitting Kensler in the arm, leg and chest."

Not a very good shot, but it's the thought that counts sometimes.

Here in Houston they have one called Treasures. You can get what ever you want for 50 bucks. The city does not seem to care. Most strip clubs in Houston are like this.

[L98Fiero]

It's where Charlies Angels dance to the Pink Panther tune and take some Irish guy's ID and papers.

[Billthedrill]

Uh...one of those clubs where you have to dress up like a pirate?

No?

[ZGuy]

The shooter survived the attack but may not survive when his wife finds out that he was at the Treasure Chest instead of at the Library like he told her.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

She (the wounded perp's mother) says her son shot as he was being robbed.

She forgot to say the part about her son being an honors student.

[bigsigh]

boxing the compass!

[Donaeus]

Many thanks to this citizen for cleaning up the trash. Hope the thug answers his wake up call, next time he might need the morgue not a medic.

A good one for "The Guns are Useful Tools" file.

Kensler, listed in fair condition at Riverside Regional Medical Center, is charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of crack cocaine.

Doesn't say but I'm betting the victim had a .32, mayby a Kel-Tec. I'd like to think that three shots from a 9 or a .40 would have laid the guy out. No question a .45 would have finished the job.

Congrats to the paper for figuring out who the victim is for a change.

"...one of those clubs where you have to dress up like a pirate?"

No doubt, the entertainment is rated ARRRRGH.

She (the wounded perp's mother) says her son shot as he was being robbed.

She forgot to say the part about her son being an honors student.

And also how well he is liked by those in his neighborhood. Also how he would never hurt a flea.

[JRandomFreeper]

Police say inside the car was a second suspect who they are still looking for. That's why they haven't released the name of the victim. They don't want to jeopardize the ongoing investigation.

Ummmm. How many folks robbed the 'Treasure Chest' that day? Do the police think that the missing perp can't put 2(dec) and 2(dec) together to come up with 100(bin)? Ok.... (backing away slowly...).

A good place to avoid.

She forgot to say the part about her son being an honors student.

He was going to marry the mother of one of his children.
He was about to sign a contract as a rap artiste with a big studio.
He intended to get his GED.

It's a pity the reporter didn't ask Sarah Brady for a comment on the story.

"hitting Kensler in the arm, leg and chest."

Not a very good shot, but it's the thought that counts sometimes.

LOL... I don't know, he hit him high (chest), low (leg) and wide (arm). Seems like he covered all the bases.

And that he played golf with Scott Peterson.
