St. Louis pizza driver kills robbery suspect during delivery, police say
Fox News ^ | 12/3/17 | staff

A St. Louis pizza driver shot and killed a 17-year-old youth who police said was one of two suspects trying to rob him during a delivery Thursday night. Police identified the dead man as Lavon Courtney Jr., the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. One suspect struck the driver on the head with a firearm, then ran back to his vehicle while shooting, police told St. Louis' Fox 2. The pizza driver returned fire with his own weapon, striking one suspect and prompting the other to flee, the report said. The delivery driver called police after arriving back at the pizza shop, the St. Louis-Post Dispatch reported. He suffered a cut to his head, Fox 2 reported. Police said the fatal shooting appears justified, the newspaper reported.

So there’s a SHOOTER and an assault and they are only SUSPECTED of attempting a robbery?

It was a THWARTED murder attempt.

Lavon. No doubt an aspiring rapper, just getting his life turned around, at 17 probably has a baby momma or two out there. Cue the tearful mother of this waste claiming he dindu nuffin.

No wonder Obama had such a miserable number of people employed, they keep committing suicide.

Turning his life around. Good kid. Never meant to hurt nobody.

If the driver isn’t black, he’ll be the next white hispanic KKK Nazi killer.

Attempted robbery, attempted murder, felony murder.

then ran back to his vehicle while shooting

Aiming while running is usually pretty tough on the ability to aim, stupid human tricks. Kind of like the sights on the side of the 9mm.

Money NOT spent this year on NFL

NFL Sunday Ticket.
5 Tickets to Packers Panthers
NFL merchandise.

Collateral damage
Cancelled Directv
Cancelled Sirius Radio
Not renewing Game Pass
Hotel for 5 people 2 nights Charlotte
Airline tickets 5 people
Restaurant and Bar tabs for 5 people 2 days.
Rental car.
NFL games watched since week 3 Zero.

Do they get the picture? I typically spent a couple thousand a year on the NFL because I enjoyed watching GAMES. Since they’ve decided to become the SJW league none of my money will be going to them, and as little as possible to advertisers ( thats’ YOU Papa John, Anheiser Busch etc)

You can buy some nice weapons with that cash and they’ll be around to pass down to the grandkids.

Let me guess:
1. Been in trouble a couple times, but turning his life around recently
2. Planning to go to college next year
3. Aspiring rapper
4. Loved by everyone that knew him
5. Well respected among his friends
6. Could have been Obama’s son

AND if a National chain, can bet they are looking to chastise and fire the driver for the incident.

Rather than tell me I can’t carry a weapon, why not inform the public that YOU(company) are training all your drivers how to carry, and you are going to arm ALL your drivers that qualify and want AND we will be hiring off duty police in a neighborhood near you.
(Sort of like the PD taxi cab fleet used to be in some large cities)

When the drivers cease to become sitting ducks, the incidents will go down - swiftly.

Shame when a person is ‘forced’ to take a job ‘picking $hiite with the chickens’ and has to put up with the criminal element who is being supported and propped up with the taxes the working man pays.

Great system, don’t change a thing IDIOTS.
