MLD Woody Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I googled it. This story happened in November and the DA already ruled they couldn't sue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 "He's not no thug or nothing like that...he's a good boy" - well...I kinda disagree. Good boys don't commit armed robbery. That being said, they surely didn't deserve to die for their crimes. Also, I love the completely unbiased write up in "USConcealedCarry.com" - I wonder which side of the argument they're coming down on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 If you google "robber's family sue" the sites this story pops up on include TheArmedCitizen, EagleRising, GunsNFreedom.... lol. Let all their readers get a boner over the vigilanty justice they hope to deliver some day. Just like Clint Eastwood and John Wayne! But yeah, it looks like this story is a few months old. No dates were given in the OPs article though... The dude shouldn't be sued, clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the dude who shot them should not be sued. They pointed guns at him, he had every right to drop them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 "Drop them?" Was he a 12 year-old playing call of duty? He had every right to defend himself using reasonable and sufficient force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 That's basically the terminology you'll see in the comments on these sites. Like they're action movie stars, removing thugs from the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browns149 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Ok "shoot them in self defense" Does that make you feel better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Idc how it makes me feel, but it sounds better, yeah. He wasn't some action movie cop. He took two lives in self defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Ok "shoot them in self defense" Does that make you feel better? What it does is add credence to your point - when you talk about dropping, wasting, blasting or whatever else you care to call it, you come across as a wannabe gangster, 12 year-old in his bedroom or waiting-for-my-moment-to-shine vigilante. When you use the right words, people will take your points a lot more seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browns149 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 My point was he had every right to do what he did. And that point got across, regardless of how it was said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cysko Kid Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 The robbers absolutely deserved to die for their actions. In the olden days there wouldn't even be a question of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cysko Kid Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I hope you are being sarcastic. If not, I disagree completely. I am not and you are entitled to your opinion but criminals don't deserve to live out their lives on the taxpayer dime. That is a much bigger expenditure than, say, welfare fraud, and these people are of no value to society. Harsh? Maybe, but what attachment do you have to armed robbers?

MLD Woody Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 None. But I don't think every criminal deserves to die. Also, idc what they did in "olden times". They're olden times for a reason. We've progressed as a society since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Steve Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 If you mean by progress that criminals should now be allowed to rob rape murder et cetera without the fear of being resisted I would imagine that that's not a form of progress we should cheer.

Westside Steve Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Actually it would be kind of cool if the guards beat the living s*** out of the guy every few months and he won every lawsuit and every nickel was given to the victims families.

The Cysko Kid Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I'm not sure why you want to defend criminal thugs as if prison is a punishment for them. It's just another way for the government to take care of them from the cradle to the grave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Well, I don't believe every criminal should be killed. If that is defending criminals then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cysko Kid Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 No. A thief shouldn't be killed. A purse snatcher. A tax evader. A marijuana user or dealer. A murderer should die. So should an armed robber, a child molester etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not the only one to do it but it is one of the big things on this forum that drives me crazy. I'm a red blooded American who thinks that the gov needs to get the hell out of our lives, I love guns, I've defended my household against a robber once before while armed, and the entire time I was thinking, "Please, for the love of God, don't come down the hallway." It's not that I didn't think I could handle myself, it's that I did not want to have to use "vigilante justice" like you said. Anyways, the guy left when we yelled at him that we were armed. THAT is what most people hope happens in that situation. So, please, stop generalizing so much.. all of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I was just going off of the comments on those sites and terms like "drop him".
