Customer kills gunman during armed robbery
Jacksonville Times-Union, FL ^ | 28 August 2012 | Clifford Davis

A 57-year-old father and grandfather stopped off on his way home from work Monday night to fill a grocery list his wife left for him that morning. But after entering the Dollar General at 1921 Dunn Ave., he was thrust into an armed robbery that ended with him firing his weapon and one of the two robbers lying dead on the floor. Two men entered the store about 9:20 p.m., both with handguns, said Lt. Rob Schoonover of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. “One of them had the clerk and one of them was at the front cash register,” Schoonover said. The manager then alerted the customer to the situation. “The customer, who had a concealed firearms permit and a firearm, fired at the suspect, striking him apparently two times, killing him,” Schoonover said.

Now that I’ve read the book...can’t wait for the movie to come out.

I’m betting the father/grandfather/shooter had a shot at the escaping accomplice’s back but didn’t take advantage of it.

Someone died - justice can only be served with a trial.

I’m assuming you forgot to add a ‘sarc/’ tag.

One less dirtbag on the government dole. Frank Castle style justice, I love it.

He would’ve been prosecuted in Commie California.

No, I’m not wrong. I was mocking critics of the Zimmerman case.

I’m surprised informed posters couldn’t recognize a commentary on critics of the Zimmerman shooting.

I figured that, but sarcasm tags are cheap. :-)

You could look at my about page to learn the truth. I was mocking critics of the Zimmerman shooting. Sarcasm tags are for newbies and the uninformed.

I wonder if there is a racial angle that the Liberal Media can seize on? I can see the headlines now: “White Supremacist Murders Innocent Aspiring Rap Star! Mom said he was a good boy, sang in the church choir and was finally turning his life around after only a very short stay in the State Penitentiary”.
