Second Miami Self-Defense Shooting

[Colt]

From the Miami Herald:

For the second time in two days in South Florida, victims have opened fire on armed robbers. And both gunmen ended up dead.

In the latest incident overnight, a man sitting in a car alongside a woman was confronted by a man dressed all in black, wearing a ski mask and carrying a gun. He demanded money -- and to see the woman strip naked, Miami police said.

The man in the car, a security guard from a nearby Food Giant, pulled his own gun and shot at the man in the mask. The robber ran, threw his gun down in the mud and collapsed.

The intended victims were unharmed.

The would-be robber was dead.

The location of the shooting, 115 NE 78th St., is just outside a two-story brown apartment complex in the shadow of a 15-story condo rising at the northern edge of Little Haiti.

Just over a day earlier, a ski-masked man trying to rob Diaz Groceries in Naranja was shot dead by the owner.

I love it when a plan comes together! We need to see lots more law abiding citizens refuse to be victims.

The man in the car, a security guard from a nearby Food Giant, pulled his own gun and shot at the man in the mask.

Ouch.

I think it may be another result of the deteriorating public education. They probably meant, "...pulled his own gun and shot at the man wearing the mask."

at least they used "would-be" instead of "alleged" or "suspected"

I posted the link to the first shooting yesterday. I was going to post this one also, but I searched on "Miami" first to see if anyone else had posted it already. That's how I avoid posting duplicate threads. Pick a keyword that will certainly appear in the post if someone has already posted it and search on that keyword. More people should do that, but I digress.

Anyway, since you beat me to it, I have to provide some commentary.

The liberal's worst nightmare is occuring in Miami. Their criminal friends are getting killed left and right and citizen RKBA is proving itself to be effective at stopping crime. They must be kicking themselves about right now.

I notice that the Herald did not enable reader comments on this article, which they did on yesterday's article. That is too bad. The comments on yesterday's article now cover 17 pages and is almost uniformly pro-RKBA. Maybe the Herald was taken aback by those comments.

Nevermind.

Well...

From the sounds of it, some of these "victims" need to move to Philly

When will the thieves learn?

If all this keeps up they had better find another line of work, an honest one.
