CONYERS,GA — A would-be robber who was shot and killed by his intended victim was a resident of Covington, according to the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office.
No criminal charges will be filed against the man who fatally shot the suspect, identified as Yuhanna Abdulah Williams, 30, in an apparent robbery attempt Saturday in the parking lot of a Salem Road grocery store.
The victim was carrying a gun in his holster and shot Williams, one of two assailants, during the struggle that occurred about 8 p.m. Saturday outside the Ingles grocery store, located at 2455 Salem Road.
The Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office responded to the shooting after a deputy was flagged down by a group of people yelling that a person had been shot in the parking lot, according to RCSO reports released today.

I said we need to deal with it like adults. I am vehemently opposed to reparations for any number of reasons. I think blacks in this country are pampered and indulged far too much. I agree, the Great Society was a disaster for America and for black America particularly.
Not bad shooting at night and under fire. And, of course, he escaped. The surviving Germans must have thought there was a least a platoon out there.
If we had only known they would be this much trouble
We would have picked that Damn cotton ourselves!
Thanks, great story. However a short correction.
Ambrose Bierce is one of my favorite authors, especially the “Devil’s Dictionary”, and provides many great one liners. But he was a Civil War hero and was probably killed by Poncho Villa’s men in Vera Cruz in 1913. (Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (June 24, 1842 – after 1913) was an American editorialist, journalist, short story writer, fabulist and satirist.)
I am sure you are referring to another great writer and patriot, Stephen E. Ambrose (1936-2002)who wrote, “The Band of Brothers” and other great books. His son wrote, “The Pacific” and is not 1/2 the writer his Dad was.
There are some other great stories about an officer that took his Colt Woodsman .22LR target pistol to Europe and his troops were stunned at how many Germans he whacked, presumably in the head, during house to house combat. They said he was a cool as if he was at the target range.
My favorite Bierce quote is, “Faith is belief without evidence spoken by one without knowledge of things without parallel.”
Duh: should be Stephen Ambrose. I’m a big Ambrose Bierce fan as well. I liked the haunting story “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge”.
Amen! And wouldn't it be nice if they* would return the favor?
*They referring ONLY to those who hate us for not being them. They are no better than those of us who are of that mind set.
We should have told the Northern slave traders to peddle their product elsewhere.
I live here, its not an upscale shopping center, just an Ingles grocery store and a few eating places.
The whole area has seen a large influx of black residents in the past 15 years and with them came many of the problems they tried to leave.
Yes, we have been paying a steep price for their services ever since.
None of that had anything whatsoever to do with my point that you clearly missed. Here’s a hint: consider the ethnicity of our prison population.

I completely understand and ‘get’ your point.
What I am saying is that you implied all slaves posed a problem for the present.
I was merely pointing out that all slaves were not delivered to US from the African Continent.
I kind of got ‘carried away’ because too many people refuse to admit the indentured Irish etal were actually slaves.
Probably afraid ‘they’ will have to pay reparations and you know the Jackson/Sharpton crowd will not stand for that.
I implied no such thing. Look, when we talk about slavery in this country, everyone knows whom we’re talking about. It ain’t the Irish, the Amish, or the Aztecs. It was significant and memorable because there was a hellish war fought over it that brought the death of some 600,000, a constitutional amendment, a presidential assassination, and ceaseless reparative legislation and supreme court precedent have evolved from it.
At any rate, my point was clearly NOT about slavery per se.
Slavery, like nooses and racism is a “black thing”. No one else can be a slave, be hung, or be the object of “racism”.
