RICHMOND, Va. -- A man robbed in Richmond pulled out a gun and shot his assailants, Crime Insider sources told Jon Burkett.

One of the men died as a result of the shooting, the other was taken to the hospital.

The incident happened Friday afternoon along the 1100 block of Commerce Road in South Richmond.

The wounded men drove away after the shooting.

They were later found less than a mile away near East 18th Street and Fairfax Avenue.

Waiting to hear what the robbery victim will be charged with. Murder, a hate crime, brandishing a weapon. All of the above.

Hmmm...

Given that the goblins (H/T Colonel Cooper) were able to drive away after being shot, the usual questions about weapon and caliber are in order, noting that the citizen was in fact able to stop the crime against his own self.

A nice, pleasant, wake up on Sunday morning to a happy ending story overall.

Good, but this is the right the democrats want to take away from us. They want the underclass to take what is “rightfully” theirs from their “oppressors.”

They want the unproductive, dependent folks to steal from the productive people.

Proof:
Allowing theft of $950 in CA.
Allowing antifa/blm to loot, steal, burn and destroy.
Forcing owners to provide an apartment, heat, maintenance, insurance, for NO compensation.

PS. We will be paying for the hospital visit, since the politicians in their infinite wisdom decreed illegally that hospitals have to treat anyone and everyone without charging them.

"Always nice to read about the death of a democrat."

It will be much better to read about the trial, conviction, and sentencing of a Demonicrat kakistocrat to be publicly hanged.

But not from themselves or their loved ones.

How many would be willing to give up their security detail?

No different from the old Soviet Bosses.

“Waiting to hear what the robbery victim will be charged with. Murder, a hate crime, brandishing a weapon. All of the above.”

Of course, one must also add white privilege.

“Developing story.”

I’ll take a stab at the gist of the follow-up story:

= = = = = = BEGIN (somewhat) FICTITIOUS ARTICLE = = = = = = = =

A grieving grandmother lamented the death of the grandson she raised from a young age. LaQueisha Jackson said, “He was just getting his life together and was registered to start community college in just a few weeks in a History of Rap Music program.”

Her grandson, Leonardo Smithton, was killed Saturday in an apparent attempted robbery where the intended target used his own firearm to stop the assault by shooting both perpetrators. Smithton was dead when found by police and his accomplice, LaTonka Brothers, was taken to a hospital with severe gunshot wounds. Brothers is known to police as part of the 7th Avenue Bloods gang and has served time for drug crimes previously.

If you get shot in Louisiana, there may not be a hospital room available.

No names and no pictures of the punks. Guessing their names aren’t Jonah and Abram.
