Robbers shot the owner, 52-year-old Ramon Castillo, in the abdomen, shoulder and legs, leaving him in critical condition Sunday. Castillo shot and killed the three armed robbers, who had tied up his wife of 30 years.

It's interesting to see the reaction of FR to this true American, interesting but not surprising. No one cares that his name is Hispanic. What matters is that he is a legal resident or citizen who is a a productive member of society - and who as a bonus acts like the rest of us real Americans or at least as we hope we would act. Unlike the bigoted liberals who use race as a weapon to try to intimidate conservatives, it seems in the several discussions on this shooting like our members are entirely indifferent to race. A great American once said that we should judge each other by the content of our character and not by the color of our skin. FR seems to have accepted that ideal, while today's Dems consider it racist.

You're right. I hadn't even noticed that until you just brought it up.

I totally agree with you, illegals need deportation and criminals need jail, or worse.

Al Sharpton and the NYPD just had a gun buy-back program in Harlem this weekend and netted around 350 guns. Their idea for stopping crime and violence in the black community is to blame the illegal guns (illegal mostly due to NY gun laws). I bet the crime rate would drop considerably if there were more "legal guns."
