MS: Alleged Kidnappers of Handgun Competitor: 1 Dead, 1 Corrections Officer (picture)
Gun Watch ^ | 2 June, 2015 | Dean Weingarten

Posted on 06/04/2015 4:49:30 AM PDT by marktwain



A couple of weeks ago, two armed criminals kidnapped a doctor at gun point.  They did not realize that their intended prey was also a combat handgun competitor who was loading guns and ammunition into his vehicle.  They forced him to take his vehicle to an ATM, where they extracted money.  Then they made a critical mistake.  They threatened his wife.  Accessing a handgun in the door of his vehicle, he shot and killed one of the suspects, Edwin Robinson.   Robinson is the larger man in the picture above.  The other suspect has been captured.

He turned out to be Andre Kennedy, shown on the right.    From wdam.com:

On Wednesday, Corrections Commissioner Marshall Fisher approved immediate suspension without pay of a correctional officer charged in a kidnapping, armed robbery and homicide that occurred in Jackson on Saturday morning.

Fisher learned after Andre Kennedy's arrest that Kennedy is one of 520 officers working at Central Mississippi Correctional Facility in Rankin County.

Kennedy, 22, was hired in January 2014.

He is charged with capital murder, robbery and kidnapping in a case involving an Eastover homeowner.

His partner in crime was shot and killed in what police are calling justifiable homicide.
The story has been moving at lightspeed all around the gun culture on the Internet.  Gun Watch carried an excerpt and link to the early story.  Now we have confirmation that the shooter was a doctor and combat handgun competitor.

Massad Ayoob calls this a fatal mistake in the victim selection process.  I suspect the good doctor carries more frequently, now.

Let’s face it, we are dealing with mutants that have been given a free pass by our Jihadist In Chief,the DOJ, and the disgraceful MSM. The pushback has just begun. Of course this will be blamed on the Tea Partiers or racist whites but cutting to the chase : Law abiding people can no longer stand down while these gang bangers and paid rioters loot and murder with impunity.Only God knows what damage will be done because of the open borders policy. Our government, federal and municipal, is supposed to protect the citizenry but instead we get marauders and the black first elected officials that offer excuses while they blame the police for creating a problem.Guess what? Baltimore and Chicago can rot . No federal money to rebuild Ms.”they need room to destroy”; Me? I have to suffer the clueless communist A hole Bill Di Blasio. Maybe the protestors can circle around and take pictures of what they have created. Back to the top: The thugs are only brave when their victims are cowering in fear.After a few more are given a one way ticket off of the planet this will change.We can thank our whore politicians for letting it come to this.

I’ll say it also...without being concerned about being “horrible”.

I’M GLAD THE POS IS DEAD!

God Bless the Doctor & his family!

They’re about as “true Israelite” as the guy who served me my taco yesterday named Juan.

Why Israeli’s allow these frauds into their nation is beyond me?

Nothing more than Farrakhanish Anti-Semites.

Yes, a certain kind of “cool” that is unsophisticated, yet entirely appreciable!

Commenters on a pic posted re: the Jessica Chambers murder, claimed a major black gang uses the six-pointed star as its symbol (presumably it is a network of six subgroups). Can’t remember which — Gangster Disciples?

What I find most interesting is that the Good Doctor exercised extreme personal dicipline in that he chose not to use deadly force to defend himself and his wife until the deadly threat appeared imminent, even though he could have legally done so in most states at the time of the carjacking. I’m not sure that I would have waited that long given the opputunity.

Nobody is bringing up the obvious upside of this for the doctor. He’s now probably has a lifetime carte blanche from the wife to buy any gun he wants.

>>Law abiding people can no longer stand down while these gang bangers and paid rioters loot and murder with impunity.<<
What is bothering me is there is an accepted code of ethics when it comes to robbing someone. You point a gun at your victim and the victim is supposed to comply with the robbers wishes. There are enough shootings of thugs where the ante has been upped to the point where there could be more shootings of victims, skipping the protocol of pointing the gun and expecting the victim to comply.
There is a war coming.

I think your “accepted code” has been ignored for a long time.

Criminals recognize and respect force.

No one else brought it up on this thread so I will: Is it possible that the police officer/thug was an Affirmative Action Hire?

Edwin Robinson, you deserved to die. One prays your buddy Andre Kennedy is put to death, as well. Vermin.

“Black Hebrews.” There’s several thousand of them in Israel. Odd folks indeed.

I think most of them are from Ethiopia, which is one of the places Jews went in the Diaspora. Mixed Semetic and native black (not exactly the same as blacks you see in the USA -— facial features are very distinct — black skin, but lack the flattened nose).

They do practice Judaism, and as their kids go through the IDF, have Orthodox Conversions, so they are, indeed, Jewish.

Black Hebrews (in this case) refers to mostly-American members of a cult. They are not related to Ethiopian Falashmura or Beta Israel.
