1) That no one else got killed is a matter of luck. Had other bystanders been accidentally shot, this brave soul who risked his life to stand up to violent crime would be responsible for the loss of innocent life and would be in jail. 2) It's one thing to stop someone from raping or murdering, but when you kill a guy robbing a burger king I think it's more about wanting to be a vigilante and having a hard on about your gun than actually trying to stand up to crime. 3) I don't feel sorry for the criminal at all. You commit a crime and you put your life at risk. That said, I don't think someone deserves to die for robbing a Burger King. I hope all the people who have said this guy deserves to die are right there defending the extreme Muslim fanatics who use brutal punishment.
"I wake up every morning and I ask myself, is life worth living or should I blast myself, I'm tired of being poor even worse I'm black, my stomach hurts so I'm looking for a purse to snatch." "Yeah, this album is dedicated to all the teachers that told me I'd never amount to nothin', to all the people that lived above the buildings that I was hustlin' in front of that called the police on me when I was just tryin' to make some money to feed my daughters, and all the *****z in the struggle, you know what I'm sayin'?" Did the robber deserve to die?
There's a difference between protecting yourself when in danger and trying to be a hero. The CHL guy was probably the latter from what the article says. How do you justify the dirty looks and the argument between the robber and the CHL? Sounds like both sides were trying to 'man up' and both sides ended up getting shot, with one dead and one seriously wounded over a couple hundred bucks, at most. Real selfless act there....
The guy just wanted to be like JOE HORN Rocket River Joe Horn knows you only get a couple of opportunities in life to murder someone and get away with it .. . when Joe Horn saw his opportunity . . .he murdered! This guy wanted some of that Joe Horn Glory? He is not officially a *badass* gunslinger. Even survived a gun fight .. . WWWOOOOOO!!! how long until before we just let'em hang on the hip
While I get ya, there's a big difference to me whether someone commits theft or armed robbery. I would have sympathy for a thief getting killed...I mean, unarmed thief, really? Just shoot him in the leg. But if someone is committing an armed robbery...well that changes the ball game imo.
These complaints are in every gun-totin'-thread. Why is the criminal getting all this sympathy? He isn't. I think most people assume it doesn't need to be said that what the robber was doing was wrong. It's obvious that robbing a store at gunpoint is wrong. It's obvious that the robber has needlessly endangered people by brandishing a loaded weapon in a crowded restaurant. The point of debate is what the CHL guy did in reaction.
Let me try and understand this. You are truly upset that someone who attempted to steal property using the threat of death got shot? You are directing your outrage towards the one who used force against this person?
315K CHL's right now. There are plenty more than that carrying legally though after the passage of the clarification of traveling. Why did you pick the 5'7" guy to be hispanic? LOL!
yeah but what do you expect. The guy totally ignored the part about don't rob people with you gun also. Hell I bet he slept through the entire course!
I dunno Joe Horn called the cops and allowed them several minutes to get there. Upset that the cops failed to arrive before the criminals got away he decided to stand up and do the job himself. As for your last statement, I think it is foolishly ignorant to think you could actually takes guns away from people in any amount of numbers to count.
Your logic is twisted. You can lump a majority of people in two categories ... those who sit around and wait for someone else to do something or those who stand up and do something. Where is the fine line? What if he walked in with a box cutter threatening everyone? Should they stand around and hope for the best because they are afraid someone might get cut? Really! Its just a box cutter ... how serious can they be? So he walks in brandishing a gun and demands a few dollars. So give a few dollars and let him go ... thats all he wants, right? ... until the squad car that just so happens to be across the street shows up and you have a hostage situation. We DO know he has a gun and we DO know he's not afraid to use it. After he offs a couple hostages, will you be asking why the CHL didn't use the gun? If you want to be a sheep, move to France. I don't think anyone believes capital punishment should be used for a conviction in a robbery case.
you can make your point without being an a-hole. What you are trying to say is when we say deserves to die we are not saying that killing him was justice. We are saying he made a choice and that choice led to his death and it was his fault.
Let me guess. . . .Criminals. . .because they are criminals. . .cannot be murdered just like Prostitutes cannot be rape . . . just the risk of doing business .. . . is that what you saying? I am just not sure support Vigilantism is a good thing to do. Rocket River
