...Deaunt Moore...
They didn’t interview Deuncle?
This “self-defense” thing is out of control. How are hoodie-wearing gang members and criminals supposed to make a living? Will the President exploit this criminal’s death for votes like the case in Florida?
*************************************************
Guess the thug figured his arse was more important than $300. Too bad his homie didn't see it that way.
Nice shootin’!
Dirty Harry lives!
What is Officer Fataly’s first name?
Good Job by the retired policeman! We need many more like him, then maybe the public would be safe again!
OMG! The comments are too funny.
Real journalist are a thing of the past.
Oh, and I’m sooooo sorry for the dead guy. /s
Did the dead perp look like Obama’s son, if he’d had one?
Bad news for the partner who ended up getting a broken thumb and a real ass whippin to the point he was begging my friend to stop.
When the cops arrived, the perp tried to pin assault charges on my friend and the perp couldn't be arrested since HE didn't have the wallet in his posession. It was his word against my friend's......
After the cops left, my friend talked to a guy on the street who knew where the escaped guy lives so my buddy paid him to take him to the house.
Considering the large amount of money that my buddy lost, he's not going to put this behind him. He's a little crazy and definitely not someone to screw around with..........
Whoa! Quick draw mode!
This is the difference between a gun novice (robber), a gun user, and a gun expert (officer).
You can mentally parse this event by fractions of a second for physics and psychology as an absolute justification for concealed carry.
To start with just the tip of the iceberg, let me reference the gunfighter, physicist Neils Bohr:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8493000/8493203.stm
“New research from the University of Birmingham suggests the best strategy may actually be to wait for the other guy to make his move.
“In a series of “laboratory gunfights” - with pistols replaced by electronic pressure pads - researchers found that participants who reacted to their opponent’s movement were on average 21 milliseconds faster to the draw.
“Niels Bohr (1885-1962) liked to take time off from figuring out the structure of the universe by watching westerns. Bohr noticed that the man who drew first invariably got shot, and speculated that the intentional act of drawing and shooting was slower to execute than the action in response.
“Here was a hypothesis that could be tested, and with the aid of cap guns hastily purchased in a Copenhagen toyshop, duly proved it. In a series of mock gunfights with colleagues Bohr always drew second and always won.”
Now add to this that in a robbery, the *attention* of the robber is going in several directions. He has to pay attention to whoever he is robbing, what he is robbing, anyone else in the vicinity, his accomplice if he has one, if he sees or hears anything like an alarm, how he plans to get away, etc. And he has to “refresh” his attention of all these things frequently.
Critically, he wants to rob and get away, not to shoot. If he wanted to shoot, he would have shot immediately.
Compare this to anyone else in the store with CC. They need to pay attention to cover and concealment, once, then to their gun, just to ponder its state of function and how quickly they can bring it to bear, once. From that point on, they can put all their attention into the robber or robbers.
This gives them a huge number of milliseconds to act, unlike the robber who must *move* his attention to them, figure out what the CC holder is doing, and then do something or not, with a bias to not.
In this case, my guess is that the robber pointed his gun at the guard, then looked at something else. The guard drew his gun while making a slight sidestep and half sideways turn, to a new location and narrower profile, perhaps cocking his gun while raising it, if it was a revolver, or taking it off safe while raising it, if it was an automatic. At head height, briefly aimed and a “grab shot”, as a photographer would say.
How to win a gunfight. This is why I always prefer CC to open carry. Open carry is to change minds. CC is to put bullets through them.
LOL!
There isn't anything "slow and sleepy" about that part of town. The fact that a small Chaldean owned store would actually have a hired security guard on the premises tells you everything you need to know.........
And the armed robber looked just like Obama’s son.
