Store Owner Single-Handedly Fights Four Armed Robbers
NBC10-TV (Philadelphia) ^ | 11/29/06 | n/a

PHILADELPHIA -- Police said a local mini-mart owner fought back during a robbery attempt, putting three of the five culprits in the hospital.

Police said a group of men pulled their guns after Germantown store owner John Lee told them to pull their hoods down.

Lee grabbed his own gun and shot three of the four suspects inside the Musgrave Street and Chelten Avenue store before they could target him.

He found the fourth gunman hiding in the back of the store.

“I found out he had a gun on him, so I beat him up pretty bad,” Lee said. “Kicked them hard; I gave them a lesson."

Police did not release the suspects' name or medical conditions, but said they were all suspects in other robberies, too.

Police arrested them and a fifth suspect who was waiting outside in a getaway car.

He should be OK, just as long as he didn't use the "N" word...

Chuck Norris waited in the dark for these four perps and roundhouse kicked them into oblivion. No perp will ever go in that store again... since if you can't see Chuck Norris, Chuck Norris sees you. And if you can't see Chuck Norris, you're good as dead.

I remember reading a similar story in the last couple of days where the store owner beat the last guy.

John Lee

It is me or is he a descendant of the immortal Bruce Lee of "Green Dragon" fame?

Deliberately misleading headline -- implies that the storeowner was unarmed, by describing his actions as "single-HANDED" while specifying that the robbers were "armed". Typical Philadephia MSM, hates the idea of ordinary citizens defending themselves with guns.

The ACLU will file a lawsuit alleging violation of civil rights of the suspects. By asking them to take off their hoods, he was profiling the suspects before they had done anything suspicious. He was profiling them as being gang members, or suspected that they could commit a crime, even before anything happened.

I wonder if any gun control laws were broken in this incident.

Its just a really bad idea.
