Detroit crime bulletin describes how pistol-packing senior thwarted carjacking
(Detroit News) Two would-be carjackers fled when they realized the elderly woman they were trying to rob had packed a pistol to go to church and the grocery store, according to a Detroit Police bulletin.
Mama’s Note: The story just seems to be missing the parts about the gun being “licensed” or she’s charged for having an “illegal” gun.
Nathan: Appears that the newspaper’s writers forgot to use the standard template, doesn’t it? And at least SOME Detroit cops are supporting their “public” going armed and “brandishing” a weapon, not the usual “run and cry for help and use pepper spray” or “submit and live” garbage!
Not only that, but it appears that they actually ARRESTED the people in the Taurus:
Crime Alert
Elderly homeowner kills intruder after beating
(KOTA Radio 1380) Authorities in Rapid City say they believe an early Tuesday morning shooting that left one man dead and another man injured was a home invasion and robbery. Officers responded to Riley Court trailer park before 5 a.m. Tuesday. Police say the alleged intruder beat the homeowner, 69-year-old Thomas Wilson, severely with a blunt object before the homeowner shot him several times. Police have identified the man who died from the gunshot wounds as 21-year-old Dallas Two Bulls. …Police say the case is still in its early stages and remains under investigation.
The significance of this story is in part because it is so close to home, just a few miles from Mama Liberty’s place and my own. But it also important to note that (a) the attacker and defender knew each other, (b) the defender did NOT fight back immediately resorted to deadly force apparently only when it became absolutely neccessary, and (c) the circumstances are such that the RC police do need to do more investigation.
