(WXYZ) - Police say an attempted robbery and shooting happened at a bus stop on Detroit's west side.

Officers say a man tried to rob another man waiting to get on the bus.

That's when the victim shot the robber. No word on whether he was arrested.

I just read a story about how citizen militias are finally beginning to subdue some of the drug gangs in Mexico.

Looks like the US may have to take the same path.

wonder if libtards running these urban swampholes will ever figure out it’s getting worse because they’ve driven out people of all stripes, that were the good ones, and they’ve been left with more and more of the troublemakers.

since they never punish the troublemakers and they instead make excuses for them, the problems never get fixed, but the ratio of good/bad people in the city continues to get worse as the good people leave however they can.

“That’s when the victim shot the robber. No word on whether he was arrested.”

That passage is just vague enough to make you wonder which person they’re talking about being arrested. And with it being Detroit, it could be either the robber or the victim.

Robbers are 83 times more likely to be shot if a gun is present.

The best argument I have ever seen for Strong Anti-Gun Legislation…because criminals prefer unarmed citizens!

If you watch only one video...make it this one.

If only the bus stop were declared a gun free zone that poor man wouldn't have been shot!

Many people are killed by guns because they are UNARMED..
Except for those that are killed because try to rob someone that is armed..

Is "HE" the shooter, or the robber?
