Security footage of shooting

[melensdad]

From a news report, watch the video, the guy is just pumping gas and is attacked:

Dayton, Ohio Video News - WHIO

awesome!!!

Lucky he had a gun. I was approached the other day by a moocher while getting gas. He had a small gas can and said he was stranded. I firmly told him no, but thought this could go south real quick. You just can't let your guard down out there.

+1 for the guy defending himself!!
- 1,000,000,000 for the dopers who assaulted him.
Darwin was right.

Wow, I have an in-law that lives not too far from there. Punk got what he deserved.

Needless to say, the in-law is trying to sell her house and get out of Dayton.

couldn't be much more clear cut self defense to me. He escalated the situation only when needed he tried to fight fair and didn't pull till it was two on one.

The only thing maybe different is stop pumping gas and leave, most pumps are pre-pay now, so get receipt and get gone.
+1 for being ready though.

Good for him. Great news about the charges.

One of my buddies was attacked like that by a panhandler at a gas station near Indy (Plainfield maybe?) a year or two ago. My buddy knocked the guy down, got in his car and took off. The cops caught the guy. In retrospect, my buddy says he should have just given the guy his money and not risked getting stabbed or shot, but it was a pretty quick thing.
You've got to watch it when you're in public and a stranger starts closing the distance.

Or remove nozzle from your fill spout and prepare to douse the louse?

great! if drugs were legal though they wouldnt go rob to get their fix. common sense for not pressing charges. anything else would have been injustice.

 

[HandK]

Good for him!!

 

[PatriotPride]

Good shoot!

Light it up and blow torch him would have made better TV

Glad they are not going to persecute the victim.

at current gas prices it was cheaper to shoot him.

If drugs were FREE they would not go rob to get their fix. Making them legal, not sure that will stop drug crimes.

Then you be on the hook with the EPA.

Even if drugs were legal they would still rob to get the money. Making drugs legal would not solve the problem one bit.

 

[Vlad the Impaler]

Everything as it should be.

Thugs get what they had coming + the assault charge. As they say, "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."

Victim gets exhonerated.

Everybody wins!

 

[ccrise]

Gal of GAS = $3.50
One Round = $0.50

Pull the trigger.
