Another victim selection failure

The Blaze

Need to reconsider the effectiveness of the .380 though. Non-life threatening gunshot wounds. :cry:

You have a point. However, it's still better than a pointy stick. ;)
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

If Obama had sons, they would look like the robbers.

They have an interview with one of the dumb shits that got shot. Here's what he had to say:
“The gun was broken and rusty and wasn’t loaded. Nobody was going to get hurt,” he said, standing with crutches.

Here's the more complete statement:
Ocala.com also has an interview with one of the robbers, Duwayne Henderson. In it, Henderson describes the robbery from his perspective:
  • “I feel horrible. It doesn’t feel good. It makes you think about life’s decisions, and how you should live your life,” Henderson said in an interview with the Star-Banner at the jail on Saturday afternoon.

    Hours after his release from the hospital, Henderson, who talked about the pain he feels in his buttock and hip, said the plan was to “barge in, get the money and leave.” He said “he never expected anyone to be armed.”

    “The gun was broken and rusty and wasn’t loaded. Nobody was going to get hurt,” he said, standing with crutches.

    Retrieving the customers’ phones was what he said was their “main priority.” That way, he said, the customers could not call law enforcement officials.

    Henderson theorizes the reason why he was caught off guard is because, when Dawkins entered the business, he busted a computer monitor with the baseball bat and “glass got into his face.”

    “He couldn’t warn me,” Henderson said.

    With the glass temporarily blinding his friend, Henderson noticed two women were behind the counter and he thought that was “fishy.” Turning around to see what the women were doing, Henderson said he was shot.

    “I turned around to run and my leg gave out. That was when I got shot. I hit the ground, and he was still shooting. I thought I was going to die,” Henderson said.

    Henderson said that, “by the grace of God,” his “leg came back.”

    “I ran,” he said.
Now THAT's the best kind of crime prevention I can think of, other than wasting someone so they can no longer commit ANY crimes whatsoever. He REALLY should take this hint as his second chance at life and run with it. He's DAMNED LUCKY the old guy wasn't packing a .45 or even a .357 MAG!!
POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad

But he didn't want the people he wanted to rob to know that, did he?
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .
