JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (WSVN) — Police say a man who tried to carjack two people was thwarted after the victims both pulled out guns to protect themselves.
According to Fox 30, Jacksonville police officers arrested 36-year-old Christopher Raymond Hill, charging him with strong-arm robbery, carjacking with firearm or deadly weapon, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and trespassing.
Detectives said the incident began when Hill robbed a Walmart liquor store, and attempted to flee in a silver Ford SUV. However, witnesses said the vehicle would not start, so he first tried to carjack Scott Reardean at knifepoint, cutting him on his arms and legs.
“I reached in between my glove box and my console, between my seats, reached down and got my weapon and brandished it for him,” Reardean told WJXT. “He was like, ‘Don’t shoot me.’ I was like, ‘Then get out of here.’”

The guy that got cut up should have shot him dead right there. Unbelievable!
Oh, that’s rich!
My first thought was it was here. Well done, Jax FL!
So, the first getaway car didn’t start, the second and the third ones had armed drivers. I’d take this as a gentle suggestion to find a new line of work, myself.
“These guys can talk about banning assault rifles and banning guns, but when it comes and happens to them, they’re going to wish they had one,” Reardean told the station.
Ain't that the truth!
Rierdon sounds like a would be, should be FReeper.
I’m moving to FL lol
I think the state’s going to find a way for him to occupy his time. For a long time.
Wait. Florida has Walmart Liquor Stores?
Why does this not surprise me?
“I reached in between my glove box and my console, between my seats, reached down and got my weapon and brandished it for him,” Reardean told WJXT. “He was like, ‘Don’t shoot me.’ I was like, ‘Then get out of here.’”

Say What Now?
If someone cuts me on my arms and legs and I get out my weapon? It won't be for brandishing.
lol
I'll give Reardean credit. He excercised extreme gun control.
That’s good business, what are you talking about?
That state has the highest rate of convicted ex-felons in the nation. Not surprising at all.
The guy who was cut up was already a victim of assault & battery with a deadly weapon. IMO he was fully justified to kill his attacker who would have gone right on cutting him if he hadn’t drawn his gun.
Here in Texas they have Walmarts. They also have a smaller scale Neighborhood Store.
Never knew they had Liquor Stores. I can only imagine the type of clientele they have there.
It makes sense to me, though, that evidently, Walmart Liquor Store customers are armed.
~Sheesh~
Some FReepers don't brandish.
then there is the next victim
after he has done his “time”
I would have killed him,
his intent was to kill me!
I can only imagine the clientele as well. All I can do is SMH.
Folks are crazy out there, especially in FL.
Which is why I’m shocked he didn’t pull the trigger at least 4 or 5 times.
He wouldn’t have been charged, especially if he was still in the vehicle (his property).
I hate it when that happens!
