Florida: Another Mass Murder Stopped by Armed Citizens
Ammoland ^ | 30 November, 2017 | Dean Weingarten

Posted on 12/10/2017 7:00:55 AM PST by marktwain

In Rockledge, Florida, at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, the 25th of November, 2017, two armed citizens stopped a mass murder in progress.  Police Chief Joseph P. LaSata of the Rockledge Police Department, made clear the intervention of the armed citizens was responsible for stopping the murderer. 

Two employees were shot, one killed, in the parking lot. Then two armed employees intervened. From the transcript of this video from wesh.com:

Matt Lupoli, reporter:

Another employee, a manager, came out with a gun of his own and shot and wounded Baily. That man has not been named, but police say he saved several other lives, customers and employees alike.

Rockledge Chief Joseph Lasata:

Mr. Baily had multiple magazines on his person.  He was intent on doing harm. The employees stepped up and prevented customers, employees, and other vendors who were in the business at the time from sustaining further injuries. They did a good job.

The murder suspect, Robert Lorenzo Bailey, Jr, 28, of Cocoa, is in critical condition at the Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melborne. None of his history has been released.The suspect has not been connected to Schlenker Automotive.

The murder and gunfight started in Schlenker's parking lot.  The suspect opened fire on a 25 year old employee, paralyzing him. He shot and killed 50 year old Roger Lee Smith, who had been employed at the shop for numerous years, as Smith came out the door to the parking lot. Then two armed employees, who had concealed carry permits, intervened.

I am sure that the Police would have been there within 10 minutes....meanwhile, the survivors are fortunate that conceal and carry is permitted in Florida.

13% is the percentage of the entire Black population, including females and children.

Those two segments aren’t (very) involved in violent crimes and murders. The violent crimes are committed by the adult males, and they make up less than half of the Black population.

I don’t have statistics to back up my 5% number, but I think it’s probably on the high side.

If we were to exclude Blacks who are in prison (they can’t commit murder, with a couple of exceptions per year) it’s my guess that the actual number would be 3% or less committing more than 50% of the murders.
