Even in the Bolshevik paradise of Tucson, nobody messes with our right to strap on a holster and gun.
I'll bet the ex-cop smelled trouble as soon as Williams came in the store, and had his hand on his sidearm before Williams started pulling his out.
Sorry, ex-firefighter.
Has anyone ever heard what part of his scummy body was shot?
He got hit with a .45 and walked away? Where did he get hit, in the pinkie?
Williams will be tried in Texas. Odds are, he will get the death penalty.
Yes --- from the picture posted above, he doesn't look like a typical RV'er.
Too bad --- it's so sad what happened to the poor Walmart clerk --- the terror of her last moments.
It's a shame he only fired once.
MSNBC is making a big deal about how this guy is an ex-Marine, and how he has had so many problems adjusting to civilian life because of all the violence he saw in Iraq.
I almost puked.
Then I got mad and dropped MSNBC an e-mail raising hell about the way they are reporting this story. It's wrong to give this animal any cover, especially at the expense of Honorable Marines who are serving thier Country Honorably.
And used only one round as well! Now that's trigger control . . .
I went to high school with a guy who turned out to be a mass murderer. He has since been executed, but the impact on his family was terrible. The killer's brother was a friend of mine...they were shamed, depressed. I wonder what ever happened to them....
In the one shootout I was in at a convenience store the perp had killed the clerk and was waving his gun around movie style. I drew my brother's 44 mag from the glove box of the car and took aim and shot the dirt bag. Missed dead center by 4 inches and did not have time for second shot since he went right down. 16 year old kid with a rap sheet three inches deep. Cops wanted to know why I didn't finish him off. Told them angle was wrong and they all said "Not a problem." My action was very deliberate - at that time by accident more than anything. My brain kept screaming "WTF" if you know what I mean. Dirtbag killed a clerk who had a family and was a friend of mine for $40 and an armload of smokes.
In retrospect I tell everyone who wants to carry that you had better have THE WILL to shoot. It is really embarrassing to have your gun taken away and be shot with it. IF you have even a small thought of "Could I pull the trigger?" then don't carry.
I knew people that came home from Iraq and had problems adjusting. If you can witness battle and not be scarred, you're not right to begin with. HOWEVER, none of them took their issues out on 19 year old strangers.
Always do a double-tap! Saves a lot of money and trouble.
This ex-firefighter being from NYC, however, he probably had it in his mind that it would be "excessive use of force".
He was hit in the shoulder, but I have to think it must only have grazed him. I can't imagine that it was a solid hit.
That would be hard. It's not always the fault of the family --- good families can produce killers.
That's the best advice I've read from someone who knows.
Thanks!
If it is the same guy who killed that poor girl, then I agree with you.
Yes that term is used, but but all due respect - it shouldn't be. I'm sick and tired (and we all should be) of gun ignorant 'journalists' spewing anti gun tripe and incorrect tripe at thats, as in...
So it might be 'acceptable', but not me. These 'journalists' are not posting on Blogs where they're constrained by time (like they have to get back to work) and thus have to omit a few 'assumed knowns' by those reading it.
Ergo, get it right or don't write about the subject.
