Not bad tactics on the part of the defender. Examples like this make a hash of the anti-gun argument that "you have no chance of defense because the robber already has the drop on you" that I have heard or read numerous times.

Wal-mart will ban Joshua from their store.
Joshua will be alive, and free to shop elsewhere.
Jacques will get to be someones bitch.

I used to shop at that Super Walmart before they built one closer to me. The Stroudsburg area used to be nice, now it’s just chock full of NYC transplants bringing their big mouths and bad habits with them.

I always said to my husband when looking for a place to retire, we will check out the local Walmart to see the typical cross section of the population before we buy.

“It appears to be an armed robbery that went badly for the suspect because he picked an armed customer,” said Sgt. James Wielgus.

Bad career move Jacques

Oh, I don't know about that. He hit what had to be a small target (possibly moving) from an awkward position while under fire.

Eastman pulled out a handgun he was carrying and fell to the ground. He returned fire under the truck's door with his pistol while the teen continued to fire his weapon. Eastman shot Jacques in the lower leg and foot.

I think he did pretty well, under the circumstances.

Great Idea!

“Police say Joshua Eastman, 28, of East Stroudsburg was unloading groceries at his car shortly before 12:45 a.m. today when Reneau Jean Jacques, 17, of 77 Symphony Circle, East Stroudsburg, pointed a handgun at him and demanded that he hand over his money. “

“Jacques fled into a landscaped island of bushes and trees in the parking lot.”

Another French surrender monkey not on the loose!

This incident occurred 28 August, 2008. It is over two years old. I misread the date. Old news.

Should have been carrying a .357 or larger so he could have shot thru the door and killed the perp. Good riddance to worthless trash.

“...we will check out the local Walmart to see the typical cross section of the population before we buy.”

We have a theory: All Walmart shoppers are the exact same people in every store — it’s a sci-fi, time travel kind of thing. We swear we’ve seen the same people at Walmarts in Olean, NY; Simi Valley, CA; and in Knoxville, TN. Has to do with a gallactic portal or something. :)

He hung his head and sighed after the judge told him he could face up to 30 years in prison

Looks like Jacques is strapped.

Darn good idea.
