camaro2ssblack Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Awesome! Although its a shame they survived...they will spend a few months in jail and then get out and do it again. Only this time they will be smarter, more heavily armed, and probably more violent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 That's my peeps! That is the part of the state that I am from. When I was in high school many, many years ago, about 1/4 of the trucks in the parking lot had a rifle in the gun rack in the window. No-one thought anything was wrong with that.

Captain Slow Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 When I was in high school many, many years ago, about 1/4 of the trucks in the parking lot had a rifle in the gun rack in the window. No-one thought anything was wrong with that. When I was in high school in the late 70's - early 80's we had a school trap shooting team. We all brought in our shotguns (unloaded) and kept them in our lockers. We also brought in our long bows/crossbows when we had archery in gym class. No one went on a rampage either, go figure. Today however there would be PSH at the mere mention of doing this. (Shakes head.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueGenCoupe Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Im not familiar with American laws, but from what I understand in certain states you can carry and fire a weapon if your life is in danger or your protecting your property. In this video, the mans life was in danger. After he fired once at the suspect, the suspect fled. the old man chased him and continued firing. At the point where the suspects started running and the old man started chasing and kept shooting, didn't he commit attempted murder? Think about it, they were running, his life was no longer in danger and he became the aggressor. Edited July 18, 2012 by BlueGenCoupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdresq4 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) HHHMMM, correct me if I'm wrong but didn't at least one of them, if not both robbers, have guns? So the gentleman fires one or two shots, the bad guys run a short distance turn around, regroup then recharge and end up shooting him and others? Then we'll complain the gentleman didn't do enough. By chasing them, in my opinion, he neutralized the threats by forcing them OUT the door. He stopped once he got to the door and ensured they were outside. The gentleman put himself between the robbers and innocent cilvilians and now he is the bad guy? I'm sure the thugs will hire some low life attorney to defend them and sue this gentleman anyway. As my friend, who happens to be an attorney, will say, "there are those who always shine a negative light on our profession. Furthermore, why are we focusing on the actions of the gentleman when we should be focused on the two facial covered robbers who were in there threatening innocent people with harm and to take their possesions from them? How does the gentleman become the bad guy? Edited July 19, 2012 by fdresq4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does the gentleman become the bad guy? one of my tools for work is a gun. When I took my training course, my instructors said, if your ever in a gun fight and the suspects flee the scene and you continue shooting them..if you were to hit them in the back we could get charged b/c they are no longer a threat to us. I'm just asking a question because I know we have a couple LEO's on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDM Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 The exact laws vary from state to state, but Florida (where this occurred) has a "Stand Your Ground" law, so legally I'm guessing Williams shouldn't have any trouble. No jury in their right mind would ever side with the robbers against him in a case like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1inblue Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 The state attorney for Florida has already stated they were not going to charge this man. Good job in my opinion. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
