Some criminals think they’re just like President You Didn’t Build That: they can keep getting away with viciousness and stupidity forever.

Several thoughts come to mind.

Good thing the house guest was carrying.

Darned Stand Your Ground law. They should have run screaming from the poor home invaders. < /sarc>

Four or five shots from a .40 cal and the dude is still kicking? What’s up with that?

Is Holder going to force a trial and a federal investigation? Or are the “victims” the wrong color?

I wonder how many times the 2nd bleeding guy was hit.

Let me guess if they were Holder’s people.......never mind.

Indeed, blacks and feminists can get away with murder with an abuse excuse, but if you are white and in self defense, reasonable doubt does not apply, even if you PROVE yourself beyond a doubt it was self defense...

Abortion is fine if you have medical defense issues, but not against thugs and pedophiles who are black. That’s fine. Check it out, Planned Parenthood blessing is the lithmus test.

“Two would-be robbers were shot Friday night after they burst into a home with a fake gun and, authorities said, met a person inside with a real one.”

Reminds me of Vinnie Jones and his Desert Eagle...
