The irony....
....is ironic.

From the crime scene:

Died from a knee injury ? Maybe he just realised he would never get a basketball contract, and just died from heartbreak ?

[Second Amendment First]

All’s well that ends well.

That said, why was she taught to aim for the knee? And where did she actually hit him to kill him?

Everyone knows you never go near the bear cubs.

....the person that trained the woman to "aim for the knee" needs to be horsewhipped. If the guy had survived, some scumbag lawyer would have sued Del's for maiming him.

Some scumbag, anti-gun prosecutor would have thrown the clerk into the clink for an unjustified shooting, given the spurious arguement that if her life was TRUELY threatened, then she would have shot him in the chest/head, not to maim "the poor, misunderstood, getting his life on the right track, off his medications, poor, picked on, minority, criminal, who was a good boy!"

Anyways, bonus points for a chick hitting the femoral artery and letting the perp bleed out OUTSIDE of the restaurant. I hope his last 2-3 minutes of conciousness while in excruciating pain, that he found Jesus and asked for forgiveness.

Bonus BONUS points for saving the community from losing more taxpayer money.

whoever “taught” her to shoot for the knee ...should be shot in the knee.

For those who say “A shot in the knee is ridiculous, you’ll never stop him and only make the attacker mad. Only in the movies!”.......;)

[ConservaTexan]

...Easterly did just as she had been taught — she drew a gun and aimed for the would-be robber’s knee...

Worst advice ever.

“It is unclear if Easterly could face criminal charges in the shooting.”

Armed robber attempting kidnap of baby????
To whom is it “unclear”?

What’s with being taught to shoot him in the knee??
Seems she was capable of shooting straight, so why not center mass??
He was armed and a shot to the knee doesn’t stop him from shooting back!!

...aimed for the would-be robber’s knee...

She said that for insurance purposes./s

[MrEdd]

I love a happy ending.

It all transpired exactly as it should have.
NOTE TO ALL STORE ROBBERS: If you’re going to be
reckless and stupid enough to rob a store, don’t be
even stupider to think you could make off with a one
year old in a stroller. That’ll get you dead for sure,
and you’ll deserve it.

“They’ve tried to clean (the neighborhood) up a lot,” said Shannon Marcum, who lives two blocks from Del’s and grew up in the neighborhood. “They’ve succeeded somewhat.”

Yes, yes they have.

[Wurlitzer]

One less piece of human (more than likely sub-human) debris walking around this earth thanks to an armed civilian.

This saved the taxpayers a few hundred thousand dollars at least in courtroom shenanigans and hopefully deprived a scumbag lawyer of a few hundred billable hours.

Something doesn’t jibe. He was pushing a child out the door in a stroller and mom shot him in the knee. The other side of his knee was her child in the stroller.

[jennings2004]

Such a wonderful outcome from a near tragedy!

[Nonstatist]

I guess you gotta aim for the knee if you want to hit him in the groin.. Nice shot.

[mikey_hates_everything]

Taking her baby and she still went for the knee? Ok, if she thinks that story will help her defense...stick to it.

[mkjessup]

I love a happy ending.

As for the perp?

BURN IN HELL ya subhuman piece of sh*t!

Oh wait, he already is.
