Here’s the score from an Independence shoplifting case that involved a bag of meat, a wild ride atop a car’s hood and a gunshot wound:

• The alleged shoplifter, Loucinda M. Carroll, 41, of Independence, has been charged with second-degree robbery.

• The store’s manager, who was struck by Carroll’s car, landed on its hood and held on during an attempted getaway, was unharmed.

• And the bystander who shot Carroll will not be charged because he felt he and the manager were being threatened, authorities say. Carroll suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The incident began at 6:49 p.m. Saturday at the Sunfresh Grocery at 2301 S. Sterling Ave.

According to court documents:

The store’s manager told police she saw a woman leaving the store with the bag of meat products. The manager yelled for the woman to stop, but she didn’t.

The manager followed the suspect to her car and started writing down the license plate number. The suspect started the car and drove toward the manager, striking her. The manager fell onto the car’s hood and held on as the suspect accelerated through the parking lot toward an exit onto Sterling Avenue.

Hearing screams for help and seeing the manager clinging to the car’s hood, the bystander blocked the exit with his vehicle. He approached the suspect and told her to get out of her car.

The woman tried to drive around his vehicle. The bystander, who told police he feared for his life and the life of the manager, pulled out a 9mm handgun and yelled again for her to stop. He then fired through the driver’s side window, striking the suspect in the left shoulder and neck.

Armed citizens stopping crime and saving lives.

One of more than 2 million times a year where that is the case.

An armed society is a safe society.

When I first heard about this on the local radio station, the report was "a man was not going to be charged for shooting and wounding a shoplifter." At the time, I was shocked that there would be no charges for shooting someone who had shoplifted. I guess the reporter sort of left out a few facts.

Shooter had a Utah permit, Missouri recognizes Utah’s permit holders. Good on Missouri.

Looks like Hussein is about to lose another vote in 2012.

But, she’s a victim of her circumstances.

She voted for 0bama but she’s still having to pay her mortgage and car payments and pay for gasoline. And 0bama “promised” her if she voted for him, life would become a bed or roses.

Poor woman, working for a living just isn’t something she’s ‘into’ at all. You know, getting up every morning and getting to work on time. Working all day and missing the Soaps and Oprah. Why, working would be cruel and unusual punishment! That’s not ‘fair.’

Wonder what kind of ammo it was and the extent of her injuries

Poor deluded child (as Batman would say on the old TV series)

An intensive makeover and radical upgrade of wardrobe and we might
find her “NOT GUILTY!!!”.

(just joking...the little monster got only a taste of what she deserved)
