Legally Armed Customer Shoots, Kills Robber
Click the image to watch the video. The 2nd amendment at it’s finest:
According to investigators, two armed men entered the restaurant, pointing guns and demanding money. One customer turned around and saw a gun pointed at his face. Plantation police said that’s when the customer took the law into his own hands.
“As the customer was being forced into the restroom at gunpoint, the customer, who was in fear for his life and legally armed, shot the robbery suspects,” said Plantation Police Dept. Spokesman Robert Rittig.
Police said one of the suspects was fatally shot in the head. The other man was shot in the chest and was able to run nearly 300 yards into a nearby Bank Atlantic parking lot while trying to escape, police said.
Bryan says: It may be the only time you hear a reporter describe someone who shoots and kills in legitimate self-defense as “legally armed and well within his rights.”

See, see, guns only cause more violence!!! No doubt the victim of this gun violence was just a poor person trying to get food, or perhaps this whole incident was George Bush’s fault, exacerbated by the evils of racism in American Society!!!
Seriously, I am glad to see a reporter finally getting it right!

I have to wonder how many ambulance chasing attornies are lined up at the hospital to take the robber’s case and file suit against Subway and the man who defended himself. God knows victims aren’t supposed to defend themselves. Don’t they know that the criminals are supposed to murder them at will without fear of anyone interfering with their criminal activities?
I had a friend who killed an escaped felon who broke into his house and fired at him. The felon was his step daughter’s ex-boyfriend and had left a number of threatening messages on the answering machine. The family tried to file a wrongful death suit against my friend. The county attorney threw them out of his office.

5, FAO, the County Atty. ought to have had that family thrown in jail as accessories after the fact.
July 2, 2007 - 03:17 AM on July 2nd, 2007
Does anybody know, how the robbers got their arms?
July 2, 2007 - 05:39 AM on July 2nd, 2007
7, Mattias, you mean did they walk into K-Mart and buy them like Michael Moore alleges? No. Did they obtain the weapons legally? No.
Now, what stupid, uninformed remark were you going to make?
July 2, 2007 - 06:18 AM on July 2nd, 2007
8-“Did they obtain the weapons legally? No.”
Well somebody in the chain of owners must have received the robbers weapon legally, right? With that many illegal weapons on US ground, one can hardly assume that all those come from burglary in weapons shops/factories…
“Now, what stupid, uninformed remark were you going to make?”
Confess: in the most solitary corner of you conservative heart, there is a small candle burning desperately waiting for my statements so that you have something to oppose to…
July 2, 2007 - 06:35 AM on July 2nd, 2007
What backwater, eurotrash craphole do you fester in, Matthias?
July 2, 2007 - 06:52 AM on July 2nd, 2007
10, Mike, Mattias is just an idiot. He has all this liberal bushwa to express but doesn’t understand the basic lies his crap is based on.
One thing he doesn’t understand that guns like drugs and persons flow across the borders unfettered by the government.
Mattias, how do you explain gun crime in countries like England and Australia that have essentially banned guns, and the lack of gun crime in Switzerland where every household has at least 1 fully automatic weapon and a minimum of 1000 rounds of fresh ammunition for that weapon?
July 2, 2007 - 07:19 AM on July 2nd, 2007
even as marauding bands of “dissafected muslim youth” (otherwise known as TERRORISTS) burn their cities to the ground, assault women and jews, seek to establish sharia law throughout the EU, they can’t stop harping on “illegal weapons on US ground”
it’s mind-boggling
July 2, 2007 - 08:00 AM on July 2nd, 2007
12, Mike, Mattias is married to a Muslim woman. He vacillates between delcaring himself some sort of Christian to being a Muslim. Neither of which he practices well.

I have no idea!!! I think, M.Moore also pointed out in his film, that in Canada they have tons of firearms and fewer violent crimes with those…
Maybe it is a general violent attitude amongst people like you!
If some country does behave the way we like it- lets start a war. If somebody doesn’t fit in our morale pattern- crucify him. If I have the choice to imprison or execute a felon- murder him.
Whenever there is a choice between a radical and a non-radical solution- people like you will choose the radical one!

You forgot to mention, that some of those also eat babies, pray to Satan and conspire with Greenpeace, PETA and Woody Allen!!!
July 2, 2007 - 08:24 AM on July 2nd, 2007
14, Mattias, Canada is trying to grab the guns, too. Their military went bankrupt. Their air FARCE is in disrepair. All Liberal Ideals.
Oh, Mattias, is your Imam recruiting Martyrs?
July 2, 2007 - 08:26 AM on July 2nd, 2007
14, Mattias, if you have no idea, SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE!!!
Welcom back Mike Kilo!

you see how,when confronted with reality, they resort to innane attempts at humour?

17- “Mattias, if you have no idea, SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE!!!”
So… you don’t have an explanation for the violent attitude of conservatives either, but thanks a lot for demonstrating the symptons..

18- “you see how,when confronted with reality, they resort to innane attempts at humour?

Sorry, MK for my distorted reality perception… I am extremely distracted by all these marauding muslim terrorists trying to set me on fire.
But seriously: if I had your perception of things, I had to assume that the US only consisted of warmongering christian fundamenatilists and drugdealing, aborting perverts… and just for the protocol: I don’t assume that!
July 2, 2007 - 08:46 AM on July 2nd, 2007
Assume whatever you want…. we don’t care what eurotrash think… if the muslim animals try to burn our cities…we shoot them.
you do whatever you want.
July 2, 2007 - 08:55 AM on July 2nd, 2007
21- “we don’t care what eurotrash think:”
That is the exact problem of US conservatives: you don’t care what anybody in the world thinks, but interfere in any country that does not comply with your ideas!
“if the muslim animals try to burn our cities:we shoot them.”
I think Iraqui and Palestine terrorists use a similar justification to “defend” against what they regard as intrusion of their ground…
July 2, 2007 - 09:02 AM on July 2nd, 2007
22, Mattias, the problem with you is that you don’t think properly. You think terrorists have rights. You think Israel does not have a right to exist and that they deserve to die, just like Hitler did.
July 2, 2007 - 09:07 AM on July 2nd, 2007
23- To me nobody who kills people for a political (or other) purpose has many rights…
Guess why I was no friend of the Iraq invasion, nor of Saddam, nor of Osama Bin Laden!
When did I say, that Israel had no right to exist?
It has as well as any other country… Simply understand, that I don’t think in such Black&White-patterns as Republicans do!!!
July 2, 2007 - 09:15 AM on July 2nd, 2007
Matthias….it’s obvious you just don’t get it. Perhaps you should shut up before you swallow your whole leg and not just your foot.
WELCOME BACK MIKE KILO
July 2, 2007 - 09:15 AM on July 2nd, 2007
oh, he must have a more “nuanced” view…much like, say, John Cohn.
I get it.
you have a fake name also?
July 2, 2007 - 09:28 AM on July 2nd, 2007
26, Mike, Mattias is a fake German.
July 2, 2007 - 09:36 AM on July 2nd, 2007
No wonder he was a fan of John Cohn, I understand that Czech jews have a long history of being treated just Wonderfully in Deutchland!!!
July 2, 2007 - 09:47 AM on July 2nd, 2007
I see Mikey K. has re-emerged. As the man said “Business is about ready to pick up.”
Mike, here’s something else for you to chew on- Matthias is also a pacififist soldier.
July 2, 2007 - 09:50 AM on July 2nd, 2007
29, Ted, Mike should also know that by Mattias’ own admission, he was drafted and resented having to serve at all. Mattias served in a unit where his father was the Sergeant in charge.
On the plus side, Mattias managed not to shoot himself in the foot or elsewhere.
July 2, 2007 - 10:02 AM on July 2nd, 2007
30.
Wait-a-sec…
Matthias serve in the military where his Daddy ran the unit? Holy Sigmund Freud…

PCD, why are spreading all these half-true (=half-wrong) informations about my person?
32- “responding to anything that dumkopf says is a waste of bandwidth”
Seeing that my last comment (#24) provoked eight (fruitless) responses, this proposal is definitely too late!!
July 2, 2007 - 11:24 AM on July 2nd, 2007
33, Dummkopf, we had a discussion about your involuntary service. You even talked about your Father being the Sergeant of your unit. It is here in the Right Voices archives. Don’t be the stereotypical Liberal and deny what is recorded AND UNPROMPTED.
July 2, 2007 - 12:43 PM on July 2nd, 2007
34- I guess I know better, what position my father had, don’t I?
My father is a retired Major, but he never served in the unit in which I served in this soldier-rank. He was the highest civil servant there…
July 2, 2007 - 01:43 PM on July 2nd, 2007
35, keep stepping in the scheiss, Mattias. In case you have forgotten, the first rule for getting out of a hole you have dug for yourself: STOP DIGGING!
July 3, 2007 - 03:59 AM on July 3rd, 2007
36- I exactly know, what you refer to:
I mentioned my fathers position in the thread about this sergeant who was displayed by his parents as some kind of dead (pro-war) hero by his youtube-video.
But even in that thread, I hardly doubt that I wrote that my own father was a sergeant in the unit in which I served during I served there. Prove the opposite or shut up!!!
July 3, 2007 - 05:50 AM on July 3rd, 2007
37, Mattias, stop digging.
