Cordell Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I Think There Might Be Something A Little Off About The Guy's Story..

EssFo Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Glad the guy and his kid is safe. That could have easily gone bad. As long as the guy wasn't shot in the back I think the dad will be in the clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoolin_s14 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 "suspect walks away, victim draws weapon and yells hey, suspect turns and victim fires, clean shot, no fucks givin'" I love stories like this, I try to think how the crime rate might tend to lower itself more if criminals had harsher concequences than 3hots, and a cot!!!!!!!

sol740 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 No one said it was great news. They said it was excellent news. Also, since when is a two month old, a toddler? Lastly, armed robbers deserve to be shot, so even though the situation is horrible, and it is much preferred for the father and child to never have gone through such a terrible ordeal, a person willing to point a firearm at another human being for money or property was shot, and I could give two fucks if it was in the back, the back of his head, or both knees and one in the gut, I only hope that if the alleged victim's story is true, that there are no legal woes coming his way.

Sledhead36 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 How is this great news? I said Excellent, not great. Too many storys saying guns are bad. There needs to be equal press where guns save lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I said Excellent, not great. Too many storys saying guns are bad. There needs to be equal press where guns save lives. What there needs to be are stories indicating whethert simply locking their door or improving their home security in the first place may've stopped the intruder from ever entering. I'm betting you'll find that's the case more often than not. Proper security will nearly negate the need for a firearm and a possibly bad outcome leaving the use of a firearm as an absolute last choice. Don't know what the actual case here is, I'm just speaking in general terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I said Excellent, not great. Too many storys saying guns are bad. There needs to be equal press where guns save lives. There needs to be ACCURATE press when guns save lives. To me there are 2 possibilities in this scenario. 1) Robber actually did turn around, victim's and son's life were in danger, and proper use of a firearm did indeed save their lives. Case closed, guns do serve a purpose when used by trained coherent people. 2) Robber didn't turn around, and the shooting was vindictive. This is NOT an example of guns saving lives, and instead will have the opposite of the intended effect of showing that guns are helpful. Instead, it will continue to worry people like me who are gun supporters but don't like the idea of our country becoming like the wild west, where justice is dispensed by individuals a few grams of lead at a time. Remember, the Constitution that protects your right to bear arms also protects everyone's right to a fair and impartial trial by a jury of your peers.

jeffro Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Investigators tell ABC 6/FOX 28 News that the suspect started to walk away, but turned around and pointed his gun back at Smith. wtf? Doubtful. Regardless, glad the scumbag got what he deserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one said it was great news. Yes, the OP did. I said Excellent, not great. I know. Guy getting assaulted? Person killed? Child possibly traumatized? Possible illegal use of firearm to take a life? Which one is great (or excellent) news? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeesammy Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Yes, the OP did. I know. Guy getting assaulted? Person killed? Child possibly traumatized? Possible illegal use of firearm to take a life? Which one is great (or excellent) news? Child traumatized? Please, do tell me more about what you remember when you were 2 months old. Illegal use? In my eyes if the idiot who robbed him had a weapon, his intent may have been to use it, even after the fact of robbing someone. Why are we taking the side of the criminal? IF YOU DON'T WANT KILLED, DON'T TRY AND ROB SOMEONE!!! It's not rocket science lol. It's excellent because in 2007 the total number of inmates in 2007 in federal, state, and local lockups was 2,419,241. Around $74 billion was spent on corrections. That's around $30,600 per inmate. I'm certain these costs have gone up. I'm sure you'd rather see that $30,600 tacked onto the debt, right? EDIT: Even if the victim did say "Hey" to get the robber to turn around, then shot him, in my eyes that's what he gets. As the saying goes, "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime." The dumbshit took the chance, and became a statistic. One bullet saved two lives. Simple math. I guess he could have fled, and called 911, and hoped that the police showed up in time to save him.

acklac7 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I Think There Might Be Something A Little Off About The Guy's Story.. Like The Part Where The Robber Started Walking Away Then Turned Back Around To Attack Again These types of stories are what fuel anti-gun activists. Shit happened all the time in Florida. If you're going to pull a weapon please be 100% sure you are justified in using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Yes, the OP did. Damn ... don't I feel sheepish. Though, however the armed robber found himself shot, I care not. If indeed this was a robbery, and all that checks out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy2285 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 IMO Anytime I hear of a victim standing up for themselves and there family I consider that great news. Maybe dude needs to practice shooting more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1647545532 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Yep, one less person clogging the legal system. Except for the part where he got (presumably free) emergency treatment at Mt.

The dumbshit took the chance, and became a statistic. One bullet saved two lives. Simple math. I guess he could have fled, and called 911, and hoped that the police showed up in time to save him. Ohio law states - "The people have the right to bear arms for their defense and security; but standing armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, and shall not be kept up; and the military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power. If he used the gun when the person was no longer a threat, and the person was no longer committing a crime, then he is a murderer, and wasn't defending SHIT. IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE LOL And yes, if the person committed a crime then that cost to house them needs to be added to whatever budget that comes out of, since those criminals are also guaranteed the right to trial by due process. Everyone here who values their rights should understand why we have them, and not be happy when someone abuses the law using the rights we hold dear (which should be ALL of them). Edit:If the guy is still alive, then remove 'murder' and what not and replace it with whatever applies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
