SC - Waffle House customer shoots and kills armed robber

[ELB]

Wright did not release the name of the customer, saying with one suspect still on the loose, he did not want to put the man in danger. The sheriff said he would release the name of the man, who is local and in his mid 20s, in a week.

...I wouldn't want the Sheriff to release my name AT ALL ....

In a week the press won't care about this story anymore. If they even print the name, it will five lines in Section B...

[ELB]

Need to clone that sheriff.

The super scary part about this robbery was the BG's making people lay on the floor
and herding folks to a back room. This could very well be a mass murder about to happen.

The double tap to the BG was certainly a great example of Glock Perfection.

It did not say that they are going to charge him with murder or homicide. I wonder if S.C. is one of those states that can charge an accomplice with murder if anyone dies in an armed robbery attempt?

Only after Williams pointed his Hi-Point 9mm at the man, did the customer fire, Wright said.

Not with a Hi Point 9mm he wasn't. The kid gambled and lost big time. I wonder if he had ever even shot the thing?

I like to think that I would behave as calm and cool on my threat assesment as the Patron did. Hopefully I will never know but good on him for handling things exactly like they should have been.

Tha coroner was quoted as saying the suspect had been shot in the head and chest. Perfect DT.

Seems like the story went way overboard promoting CHL and the shooting of armed robbers. After all this young man "wasn't a trouble maker" and never fired his gun. Making people get on the floor was for their own protection.

The South, geez, things are so much more civilized in New York.

As had been said before, we really need a "sarcasm" smilie. This is another example of that need...I trust?

Sorry I thought that was the sarcasm smiley

Many sites use different font colors to convey intent. Pink=sarcasm.
