A man in Florida told police and a local news station that he gunned down an AK-47-wielding robber because he didn’t want to “go out like a punk.”
The man, 60-year-old Donovan Stewart, told CBS Miami that the robber pointed the semi-automatic weapon at him while he, his wife and his son were in his van early Monday in the Liberty City section of Miami.
“He put an AK-47 to my damn face,” Stewart told the news station.
“I am from Kingston town in Jamaica, and I am not going to go out like a punk. So I emptied my Glock in his chest,” Stewart added.

I’m guessin’ the perp will never do that again...
I don't know if you can really make that distinction in Florida.
Most men in Florida are from somewhere else; Cuba, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, New York, New Jersey, Canada, Massatwoshits, Quebec, Ontario, Rhode Island, Jamaica--hardly any REAL Floridians around depending on where you're at.
Just entry level jobs on the ladder to a better one. That is all they can be. If you expect fulfillment in machine labor you are setting up for disappointment.
It is just a job.
He said no such thing.
He didn't "gun him down." He JUSTIFIABLY shot him.
So is this guy a Jamaican or a US citizen? If he is an illegal how did he get a Glock?
The guy is alright with me!
“I am from Kingston town in Jamaica, and I am not going to go out like a punk. So I emptied my Glock in his chest,” Stewart added.
The robber was declared dead a short time later, according to the report.
Stewart told the news station that he’s a member of the NRA and has several permits to carry concealed weapons
A police official added that investigators believe the slaying was a case of self-defense.
“I am going to defend my life and those I love,” Stewart told CBS Miami.
“My family is innocent and just don’t put an AK-47 in my face. I will not allow that to happen!”
The article says he’s a member of the NRA and has several permits to carry concealed weapons (I assume one is the Florida Concealed Weapon Or Firearm License which requires a background check). Sounds like a good man. Florida has the “Castle Doctrine” as well as “Stand Your Ground” law. By the way, Liberty City is not the best or safest section of Miami.
They should have done way better job of shielding his identity and address, and kids faces...
They are all targets now for retaliation.
Shameful media.
