Suitable ending except for the injured store owner.

[cardinal4]

The left will blame the storeowner for killing the perp. They always do.

Suitable ending except for the injured store owner.

He would be dead had he not been ready, willing and able to defend himself.

STORE OWNER (VIETNAMESE) KILLS ROBBER IN MORNING SHOOTOUT

Wow. Wonder who's going in the Afternoon session?

[DoughtyOne]

If nothing else, at least Le prevented a repeat. Good for him. Sure hope he makes a full recovery.

Fortunately his aim was better than the freelance socialist's. True "gun control" in action.

Not simply "the left." If the guy is a member of certain specific minority groups, it will be the Democrat Party's auxiliary organs set up for said groups that will level the charges.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Texas CCW at work for you.

[KantianBurke]

How odd. No mention of the perp's ethnicity. Wonder why and what it might be (sarcasm off)

[ArrogantBustard]

Hit it, Freddy:

Another one bites the dust (Huh)
Another one bites the dust
An' another one's down
An' another one's down
Another one bites the dust!

They won't be blaming him in the Houston area. Robbers are shot here on a pretty regular basis, especially at these sole proprietor stores.

You would think the robbers would eventually catch on and only target the franchise shops where company policy prohibits firearms, but they don't.

Police: Robber Killed In Convenience Store Shootout (Channel 2, Houston)

Link to a good video report at the link above. Also, the story adds this detail:

"...The gunman later died at the hospital. Lee is critical condition, suffering from two gunshot wounds.

Lee's family said that the store had been robbed just a few months ago.

In that incident, Lee also shot and killed another robbery suspect who had pulled a knife on a clerk's wife, authorities said."

A twofer. I'm impressed. Maybe the store should put an aircraft kill-type tally on the door, with silhouettes of badguys in a circle with a slash through it.:)

The moving hand, having writ, moves on...

[Dakmar]

No one ever claimed criminals were the brightest lot.

[Allrightnow]

I live in NJ and here we have laws to protect criminals from being shot by tax payers like myself. On an interesting note, I took the July 4th trip up to the cabin in PA and stopped for some fire-crackers at a store on the way. Seems they have been outlawed since early last week. Now they sell something that looks like a fire-cracker but rather than explode, they let off a puff of smoke tantamount to a smoker exhaling. I thank God every moment for people making laws like this to keep me safe from myself. Lord only knows how untrustworthy I am. Perhaps if the world made everything out of Nerf material none of us would ever be hurt again!

[Tacis]

When is the mayor going to put a stop to these vigilante Asians injuring and, perhaps, killing some of the fine young brothers of the community? Bareback jackson and other civil rights leaders need to let their voices be heard. Young black men go into these stores to make a modest purchase and are gunned down in cold blood by these foreigners. When will this end?

[mil-vet]

Here's hoping and praying for Le's full recovery!

On the bright side, at least here in Texas, Le doesn't have to worry about some californicator liberal arresting him out of his hospital bed for defending himself and his property!

9mm Texas CCW bump!

[GovernmentShrinker]

I sure hope Mr. Le lives to take out number three.

[Hebrews 11:6]

"So many robbers to kill, so little time...." In neon.
