Clerk Shoots Robber, Pair Of Armed Juveniles Arrested

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

Two juveniles are behind bars following a shooting that occurred during a convenience store robbery Tuesday afternoon.

Police responded to 3403 4th Ave. to the J&C Quick Stop just before 3 p.m. after receiving a call of shots fired.

Witnesses on-scene advised that two black male suspects entered the store, pointed a gun and demanded money. During the robbery, the store clerk pulled a gun and shot the armed suspect, hitting him in the wrist.

Both suspects fled the store, but were quickly apprehended in the 2500 block of East 27th St.

Police were also able to recover the money taken during the robbery as well as the weapon used. The injured suspect was taken to T.C. Thompson Children's Hospital, where he was treated and released.

1. Off to a good start....for a screwed up life.

Sigh.

[sharesunited]

2. Armed robbery using a gun. Zero points given.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

4. The clerk is alive I doubt he cares about your point system.

[sharesunited]

5. I'm not criticizing him you understand. This is just a guns-as-solution-to-guns story.

Zero points given to your reason for posting it, which was to celebrate guns as having saved the day.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

6. That's just silly. Guns didn't save the day. A gun saved the clerk.

[sharesunited]

9. A gun saved the clerk by wounding the robber who was emboldened to commit the crime.

No gun, no robbery, no gunshot wound.

[eqfan592]

11. "No gun, no robbery, no gunshot wound." Pure, unfiltered garbage....

Unless you can actually provide proof. Which you've yet to do once when you make such claims.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

12. So robberies are never committed without a gun? Come on you are smarter than that.

[GreenStormCloud]

37. With no gun, the criminal would have simply used a knife, as many do. N/T

[eqfan592]

8. Until you prove guns actually cause crime...

...then your argument is invalid. Saying something is so doesn't make it so, shares. Someday you might learn that.

[sharesunited]

10. No gun, no robbery, no gunshot wound. What's to prove?

[eqfan592]

13. That the only reason these people attempted to rob the store...

..was because they had a gun. That's what's to prove. Again, simply saying something is true DOES NOT MAKE IT TRUE, shares.

[sharesunited]

16. They attempted to rob it because they thought they could succeed. Because one of them had a gun.

[eqfan592]

22. That's your OPINION

which does NOT equal fact. And given the number of crimes committed, including robbery's, using other implements than guns, especially in nations like England, it's an opinion not supported by the facts.

[sharesunited]

26. Then how about a moratorium on posting stories in which the crime is committed with a gun?

How about just posting stories in which the crime is committed employing some OTHER means.

I could use the rest.

[eqfan592]

29. I think a moratorium on posting opinions as though they were fact would be far more productive. ;)

And that would certainly get you PLENTY of rest!

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

31. You post those I'll post all the others.

[X_Digger]

32. Then visit another sub-forum..

.. this is, ya know.. the guns forum. "Discussion of gun-related public policy issues or the use of firearms for self-defense belong in the Guns Forum." Got a problem? Take it up with Skinner.

No, scaresunited, your lack of a coherent response and incessant illogical ravings won't cause people to censor themselves. You think of yourself as a rebel- here's a clue.. so does Brittany Spears. And you generate about as much intellectual response as she does.

Lots of :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: followed by a few :puke: :puke: :puke:.

42. Johnny Carson is alive!

The Great Karnak is reading minds once again.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

14. You need to prove a lot of FBI statistics false. They say armed robberies occur with other weapons.

[sharesunited]

17. You have seen me give points when they are earned. So post already.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

23. The FBI says that firearms are used in robberies less than 50% of the time.

http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2008/offenses/expanded_information/data/robberytable_03.html

[sharesunited]

28. No more guns-as-solution-to-guns stories then. Post stories I can award points to.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

30. You seem to think I care about your points or your opinion. I don't can we still be friends?

[sharesunited]

33. Yes we can, but you are very high maintenance.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

34. Well that's good.

[rd_kent]

35. Who the fuck cares about getting points from you? You don't have any to give anyway.

I have yet to see a post from you that even HAD a valid point.

[sharesunited]

41. Either you are earning points from me or I am claiming points from you.

Is there a draw scenario?

[GreenStormCloud]

38. Such stories tend not to be carried by the media.

Usually, when a gun is used to defend against a knife or other lesser weapon, no shots are fired. The criminal realizes that he is overmatched and runs away. Witout blood it won't make the papers.

My wife defended herself using her gun to counter the would-be assailant's fists. He ran away, No shots fired. No media coverage. It was a non-story as far as they were concerned. It was important only to us, and the the would be mugger.

I personally know several people who have used guns to defend themselves against attacks where the attacker was armed with either a hammer, other type of club, or just multiple attackers. None of them had to shoot. No stories in the paper.

But not being carried by the media doesn't mean that they don't happen.

[eqfan592]

39. Very good point, GreenStormCloud

One that needs to be mentioned to those who seem willing to ONLY rely on newspaper reports for their evidence.

[sharesunited]

40. That sounds like the MSM has a bias against you. See Free Republic dot com for sympathy.

[PavePusher]

43. Umm, you seem to imply that the MSM [i]doesn't[/i] have biases? n/t

[proteus_lives]

18. Grabber logic is hilarious.

They can't prove shit and they'll never admit it.

[doc03]

3. Why on earth would they release someone

after they attempted an armed robbery?

[Indy Lurker]

36. They were released from the hospital...

Most likely back into police custody.

[onehandle]

7. What's important, is that the convenience store saved a few bucks.

That's always worth a gun fight.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

15. Tell us nostradumas how are you positive nothing else would have happened?

[onehandle]

24. I'm supporting your position.

Some human lives are not worth more than a few bucks.

I just can't make you happy.

[eqfan592]

25. Must we pull up the stories of cooperative victims being killed...

...in spite of their every compliance with their attackers?

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

27. The clerks life is worth more than the life of the criminal. Thanks for agreeing.

[east texas lib]

20. Well, you pays your money and you takes your chances.

Perhaps a review of our intrepid apprentice robbers business model is in order.

[proteus_lives]

21. We know, grabbers prefer people be robbed, shot, raped, killed rather then use a gun.

I don't understand why you guys hate self-defense so much.

[proteus_lives]

19. Good for the clerk!

I hope those two assholes spend a long time in prison.
