Riot-torn Philadelphia contributed two nominees to 2020s Darwin Award list on Tuesday.
Early Tuesday morning, looters decided to raid a South Philly gun store. Amazingly, it turns out if you and your buddies plan to jack a gun store, a person with a gun might be there to stop you.
Such was the case in South Philadelphia at Firing Line, Inc., early Tuesday morning after a night of riots by grief-stricken looters, arsonists and vandals.
NBC Philadelphia reports that the gun shop owner, a 67-year-old man, watched on his surveillance cameras as three or four burglars used bolt-cutters to break into his gate.
When they got into his shop, the owner introduced the bad guys to his M-4 Bushmaster rifle.
The store owner shot one of the bad guys in the head. He died at the store. The others got away, though, at least one of the other bad guys sought help for a wound at a Philadelphia hospital. They left behind a pistol that didnt belong to the gun store owner.
NBC reports the shooting comes after days of riots and looting, but now the owner might be in trouble.

Well, the owner was taken in for questioning, but despite a lot of whining nothing so far and even:
The mayor weighed in on the shooting. Looting has consequences.
Did someone just take a red pill?

The mayor and PoPo Commissioner also condemned the owner for using "vigilante justice"
We do not endorse or condone any form of vigilante justice or taking the law into ones own hands, said Outlaw, who encouraged people to protect themselves by safe, nonviolent methods where possible.

Does the legacy media ever wonder why they are nationally ridiculed and mistrusted?

That one fellow died in the commission of his crime and got all the process a toe tag he was due. And the guy who righteously stopped him did not have time to inquire about the guy's feelings about his early upbringing. Aint it awful? /s

It’s not vigilante justice.
It’s self-defense.

The guy deserves a medal. A local talk show host proposed a step above justifiable homicide: praiseworthy homicide.

For those shopkeepers that leave their stores, I ‘d think of at least setting up a tripwire surprise for the looters.

This is why democrats don’t like scary black rifles. When used for their designated purpose, they interfere with democrats who are just redistributing wealth.

Who’s watching the store while he’s explaining how self defense works at police HQ?

I heard the detective investigating the case say yesterday:
“It doesn’t get any more justified than this.”

The mansions of Governors and Mayors will henceforth only be guarded by safe nonviolent means When rioters breach the gates, they'll write strongly worded letters-to-the-editors.
