So it took people with guns to stop him…?
Funny, you’d think by now they’d be able to ID that attacker…

This time, however, the store employee responded by drawing a firearm in self-defense, leading to a standoff that ended with Cook’s arrest as police arrived minutes later. [More]

As for the tolerant clerk, he’s further proof that moral people use the amount of deterrence necessary to stop aggression. Working nights because that’s what’s needed and having to deal with aggressive parasites, he showed admirable consistency of principles regardless.
No wonder lying communists call such people Concealed Carry Killers!

Good Guy with a Gun
We’re the Only Ones Calumniating Enough
At that hearing, a law officer “falsely told the judge that ATF had been watching Mr. Wilson for 13 months and then listed dates the ATF falsely claimed he sold drugs. The agent also falsely told the judge that the Government had Mr. Wilson on tape committing these crimes,” the lawsuit said. [More]
We know Wilson’s name. How come we don’t know the name of the incompetent badged thug, and what’s going to happen with him?
Why only civil charges for kidnapping/hostage-taking? And why wouldn’t a citizen have the right to use all necessary force to protect himself and stop them?

“If their partner has … a history of non-fatal strangulation, sexual assault, and a history of substance abuse.”
So, violent criminal households are significantly riskier environments … ?

What ever happened to “Three Strikes and You’re Out“?
Oh, yeah, Democrats wrung their hands over some chronic and habitual moron who stole a slice of pizza, complained about “overrepresentation,” and morphed the public’s demand to fight violent crime by passing a federal “assault weapon” ban against that only stopped the “law-abiding”…
Maybe that’s what we need here: Another “commonsense gun safety law”…

Seeing as how the people who made the gas station a “crime hub” will still be around, don’t expect their behaviors to change. Or is the assumption they’ll just do it someplace else?

Speaking of state institutions with compulsory attendance, it’s funny how “we” spend billions on sprinkler and alarm systems for schools where there was only one civilian death from 2014-2018 in the whole country, but Democrats and teacher’s union Marxist erupt in screaming fits if you mention the one thing that could make them less attractive targets.

The Blind Men and the Elephant
I’ve talked before about Academia.edu and its repository of gun “studies,” primarily to marvel that research papers would cite someone who never let school get in the way of his education. Anyway, I get daily email update notifications of uploaded papers, and they just did one from 2020 titled “Evaluating the Impact of Gun Involved Violence Elimination (GIVE) Initiative within the City of Rochester.”
Me, my eyes glaze over with eggheadspeak and charts (sorry, Dr. Lott, the ADD kicks in and I go into daydream mode), so I always skip to the conclusion, where we find, totally unsurprisingly (and I could have saved this guy a lot of work and just told him) “call-in meetings, custom notification, and GIVE orientation meetings” don’t address the real problem of Democrat collectivist policies creating a crime culture petri dish.
He admits as much, though tries to save face and convince his evaluators he’s still a team player:
While this quasi-experiment might not have been definitive in answering the question of if the program had a particular influence on gun violence incidents based on strategies and activities implemented, the evidence still leads to possible benefits of the GIVE initiative within the city of Rochester.
Homicides dropping from 73 to 57 in one year do not a trend make, and unless and until the whole elephant in the room is addressed, claiming credit for fluctuations is a game played by fools and frauds.
