DALLAS -- Police in Dallas are investigating a deadly shooting.
They say a man was walking on Chesterfield Drive in the Red Bird area just before midnight Wednesday when another man pulled up in a car and tried to rob him.
The pedestrian pulled out a gun and shot the would-be robber, who drove off and crashed into a bus stop.
He was taken to a local hospital where he died.
His name has not been released.

I laughed and laughed while listening to the whole thing and thinking about the justice of it all.
Beautiful!
Stop and rob?
Nope, stop to rob, get shot, drive away and die.
Oh, yeah....

Red Bird and Midnight...Not a great combination. Glad everything worked out for the guy who refused to be a victim.

Freddie Mercury had an awesome voice. I may have one of his 8 tracks in a box in the attic.
Fast lane justice is a win for Society. Would be nice if they could all go through the express line.

These incidents end much less happily in blue states.
