Things that make you want to scream

Masked Gunman Holds Up Restaurant, Gets Shot Dead
A man wearing a mask and gloves and brandishing a gun attempted to holdup a restaurant in Florida. A restaurant employee shot him dead. The police response?
“Luckily, only the suspect was hurt, but there are other situations where innocent bystanders could have been hurt as well,” Rues said. “We would hope that people do not take the situation into their own hands.”
Seriously? How about THANK YOU! ???? This is your stupid response? Gee, other people weren't hurt, but, but, but, they could have been and that's why you shouldn't do what this brave person did.
The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. James Madison

Yep. A thank you along with an attaboy would have been far more appropriate.

Putting Miramar, Florida on my list of cities never to visit, let alone live there.

One less criminal on the streets of Miramar. Employee should get a raise and more ammo!

There is a reason lots of Floridians refer to it as "Flori-duh".

Until a time when the police have some way to automatically know when a crime is being committed and magically teleport there to stop it. I will continue to carry and take matters into my own hands if necessary. Ungrateful you-know-whats.

You're talking about the people. I was talking about what the people have done to the state. ;-)
