School shooting in Detroit - bet they weren't planning on this

[MacGyver]

Looks like Wayne was right. We really do need more good guys with guns:

Hey man - nice shot!

[MacGyver]

Feel good story of the week!

[TGO David]

I read it twice to make sure it wasn't a fluke that I smiled the first time.  And it wasn't!  :D

Civilian-carry in Detroit has been in the news quite a bit, lately...in positive light, no less!

[Sidinman]

Way to go coach!

So why is this not all over CNN and FOX news?? What should banned now?? Thugs maybe??

I shared that on my FB,

 

Prefect example of criminals expecting an easy target and getting bit in the ass.

 

See Guns really do make crime dangerous for criminals.  When they don't know who is and isn't armed they have a higher chance of losing.

Society benefits from an armed public.  Even is person B does not carry, they benefit from hurd immunity by the fact that criminals know their is a chance that person or that home might be protected by a gun.

Good job! I would hate to think of what could have happened had the coach not been armed. Stories like this need more national news. I'm sick of the "bad gun" stories everyday.

[Monkeyman2500]

Well I bet this won't get much coverage.

[Guest PapaB]

Good story with a positive message but with some reporting bias. I notice the reporter kept referring to the thugs as 'the teenagers', which makes them sound more innocent. She should have at least called them the alleged attackers. Intended victims were 2 girls and a 70 year old guy. Those thugs probably thought it would be easy, until the coach introduced them to 'his little friend'. Well done.

[Guest PapaB]

Well I bet this won't get much coverage.

 

You could be right. Maybe we can spread the story ourselves. Send it to websites, media outlets and politicians as RED333 and vontar have done.

Good job coach! :up:

Can't wait for the families of the two sub-human animals to come out and talk about what good boys they were and how this 70 year old man overreacted.

You know that it's coming. June bug was a good boy.

“Cheryl, just a tragedy all the way around”…. WTF?

 

“The teen” sticks a gun in this guy’s face and him and his partner get shot. That’s how it is supposed to happen. Then the thug who lives is supposed to get charged with murder for the one that died, in addition to the armed robbery.

I guess being on TV though they aren’t allowed to say “Well Cheryl, that certainly was good shooting on the part of the coach. Those are two thugs that won’t be killing or robbing anyone else. The streets are safer tonight."

 

The Mothers will be on TV blaming the lack of gun control for their criminal sons getting killed by their victim. Victims aren't supposed to have guns.

Oh it's already started...the family of the perp want answers... WHAT ANSWERS! your son held up a law abiding citizen at gun point... what else is there to discuss. The law abiding citizen shot your son because he feared for his life, your son pointed a gun in the law abiding citizens face and demanded items...in other words your son was robbing a citizen while YOUR son pointed a gun in his face...  BUT,  it just so happened that citizen exercised his right to carry and shot your son and killed him... (( shurgs )) 

 

you keep poking that dog with a stick and taunting him...eventually he's going to bite back
