This makes my blood boil!
First, the violent, armed robber survived! Shooter should be sentanced to more range time!
Second is the shoddy journalism. The dentist didn't open fire on a simple purse snatcher....
HE OPEN FIRED ON A VIOLENT FELON (OUT ON PAROLE) HOLDING A GUN TO HIS WIFE'S HEAD!
If he was a simple "purse snatcher" he would have simply strong armed the woman, but he was there and ready to kill her.
Be sure to contact Andy Davis on his shoddy journalism at:

You da man!
Instead, Davis said, she would recommend that people cooperate with the robber and “be a good witness,” paying attention to what the robber looks like, remembering what he says and making note of the weapon he uses and the vehicle he drives.
Watch out Doc...the Little Rock Mafia may still be alive and well.....
I'm sick of these crimmigrants coming in here and breaking our laws.
Tough to be a good witness when you’re DEAD.
Sounds like he needs some range time. We all need to make sure that we save the state money by hiting dead center.

I don’t get it....the man is a dentist and should be use to drilling people in the head....
....Lousy sense of direction Doc.
“Crimmigrants.” I like that.
see # 9
I agree. Criminals from England Arkansas should commit their crimes in England, not Little Rock.
“We want people to be sheeple.”

Baa-Baaa!
Hehe YA BEAT ME TO IT!
Can you or joe post the self defense study statistics that show that it is actually safer to resist, or better yet, use a firearm?
Thanks!
I hope he shot him in the behind from the front! It’s bad form to shoot from behind, ya know.
“dentist pulled out a .357-caliber revolver”
