The Left and its Gun Grabbers hate these stories about DGUs – Defensive Gun Usage – where ordinary citizens prove the wisdom of our Founding Fathers in making the Right to keep and bear arms a fundamental part of American Citizenship.
I don’t do these anywhere often enough, but I promise to do better, ok? Emphasis mine – reformatted:
WOW: Jewelry Store Owner in Florida Forced to Open Fire on Four Robbers, Killing Two
According to a recent report in ClickOrlando, two robbers were shot and killed when they tried to rob a jewelry store in the Magin Mall in Orlando, Florida. The attempted robbery, which happened at around 11:45 in the morning, was conducted by four attempted robbers, so the police are still searching for the remaining two.
Of the two suspects who were shot, one was killed at the scene of the attempted robbery and so police had to do no searching for him.
Isn’t that a GREAT way of putting it? Not quite “the perp decided to make the police’s easy before he died,” but close.
The other one who was shot got in the car with the two other surviving suspects and drove off but, according to ClickOrlando, he was found in the abandoned vehicle and taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Great friends – just left him to die alone to save themselves. Loyalty, thieves, and all that…
Apparently, the jewelry store owner opened fire on the group of four robbers when he discerned that they were armed and that an armed robbery was in progress, causing one to drop at the scene and the remaining three to flee in their vehicle. WESH 2 reported what a customer of the jewelry shop, Jamani Lamb, had to say about the scene of the robbery and shooting. In Lamb’s words:
“Jewelry was all around him. Some jewelry was out still. People were already gone and dead by the time the cops had got here.”
“Gone and dead” – the Phrase of the Day!
Lamb also described the moment of the shooting itself to WESH 2, saying “Boom! Boom! Boom! And then me and my pops jumped down and then we walk around, and we just see the people had ran.”
WESH 2 found a nearby business owner, Pete Lopez, who spoke on the robbery and the shooting as well. In his words:
“One of them got shot. He’s dead behind the counter. The other one, they left in a car and he’s up on Tampa Avenue, he died as well. I mean, this was a robbery. And the owner had a firearm, so he defended it.”
Two out of four, eh? Hey, if this were in terms of an MLB hitter, that guy would be a multi-millionaire right now! Sorry but I have no use for apologists for those that believe that the private property of others belongs to them. Make stupid decisions, get stupid consequences.
Summary:
But, thankfully for the shop owner, Florida’s a red state and justified self-defense shootings are regarded much as Mr. Lopez referred to them: something that happens when criminals attempt to prey on law-abiding citizens.
Crime is on the upswing and with the Leftist politicians protecting these scumbags with a revolving “book’em/arraign’em/release’em” attitude and attacking their own police forces, what do they THINK ordinary citizen are going to do? When Government makes the decision to no longer protect its citizens for some stupid Social Justice reasoning (i.e., Society made them behave that way),we are going to defend ourselves, our families and friends, and our property.
All we have to do is turn those Social Justice nitwits into spinning by telling them “YOUR ‘Society’ turned us into vigilantes – now fix yourselves”.
If you live in a Constitutional Carry state, go buy a gun, get some practical gun training, learn your State’s gun laws, and if you live in a home with little kids and stupid teenagers, store it safely.
Refuse to be a victim. In this story, the jewelery store owner could have been that dead guy on the floor (“leave no witnesses”). Instead, the bad guys did.
