Unfortunately, one of them did get away. Nevertheless, the Marine did not get charged as he 'continues' to serve his country.... HOO-AHH!!

Yeah, no kidding. If we don’t do something now about their lousy, unsafe working conditions they’ll prolly form a union, and maybe they’ll go on strike! On second thought...

“The family of one of the men who was shot by a retired United States Marine while they attempted to rob a Subway sandwich shop said the customer shouldn’t have pulled the trigger.”

I don’t understand. How was he supposed to shoot the robbers without pullling the trigger?

Sorry, but if someone shoots you dead while you’re attempting a violent felony, that’s tough on you.

If he hadn't pulled the trigger first, your dirtbag grandson would have killed him.

But don't worry, Rose, your grandson will recuperate from his wounds and live to prey on decent people again some day.

Great family you raised, you degenerate old bag.

The article never says whether the robbers were armed.

You would assume so, but then why didn’t they fire?

You can see how the perps ended up the way they did when you read the statements of the family.

When they tried to force John Lovell into the bathroom, he pulled out a gun and shot both men, police said.

The gentleman did not attempt to shoot these criminals until they turned their attention to him.

If they just would have taken the money from the cashier and left they would probably still be alive.
Instead, they tried to force an armed citizen into the bathroom, for what reason who knows, and he shot them.

This is the fault of the criminals, not the armed citizen.

“When they tried to force John Lovell into the bathroom, he pulled out a gun and shot both men, police said.”

They attacked a man who was minding his own business. Said man shot them down. Too bad, so sad.

And the “family” of the dead perp, that inter-generational gang of nit-wits, can go F-— themselves if they don’t like it.

Why is the media interviewing this stupid woman? Who cares what she has to say?

The only question I would ask her is “How was it possible for you to be such a failure at rasing this degenerate?”

"He should not have taken the law in his hands," said Rosa Jones, Gadson's grandmother.

"The two young men should not have tried to take another person's hard-earned money into their own hands," said yooling, a freeper.

Perhaps they shouldn’t have tried to rob a Subway. Oh that’s right, they’re the victims and this “vigilante” clearly was the one in the wrong. I mean, Bush’s economy drove these two misunderstood youths to rob. /sarc

Seriously why do liberals always call into questin the judgment of the heroes, but never the villians?
