DocM Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 You don't always have to fire, and more often than not this is how it ends. Until they try it one too many times, then it doesn't. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life. -- Robert A. Heinlein, Beyond This Horizon WJBK-TV.... Armed robber targets medical patient, who pulls own gun on him A robber, armed with a gun, targets a dialysis patient outside a medical building. He had some second thoughts after he meets the would-be victim who is carrying a gun himself. It was 4:45 Monday morning. The 49-year-old patient from Waterford [MI] pulls into a parking spot off Dixie Highway near M-15. He was headed for Davita Dialysis when he gets a bit of a detour. The Oakland County Sheriff's Office said a young man stepped out of a wooded area next to the property and walked right up to the man's car. He demanded his wallet and pulled out a revolver. The man pulled his own gun out and asked the suspect one question: "Do you really want to do this?" The answer, apparently, was no. Investigators said he told the would-be victim to 'have a nice day' before hightailing it back to the trees. FOX 2's Amy Lange spoke with two different people near the scene. Both said they think the area is safe and can't believe that it happened. As for the man who stopped the robbery, he put his gun away, and walked in for this scheduled treatment, then called police. They showed up, with a dog, but were unable to track him down. He's described as a 20-year-old Hispanic man wearing a blue hoodie and blue jeans, carrying a revolver.

ramesees Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Good for him. Although doesn't he know that according to lots of people (some of them on here) he is now the aggressor causing the poor Hispanic man to run off scared for his life? He needs to be arrested on charges of threatening behaviour and sent for re-education where he will learn that self defence and standing up for yourself are anathema to a modern "civilised" society. He should have his gun taken away and do some community service or light jail time as well (for ###### and giggles of course). Oh, in case it was needed ..... /s DConnell 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick H. Supervisor Posted May 20, 2015 Supervisor Share Posted May 20, 2015 The man pulled his own gun out and asked the suspect one question: "Do you really want to do this?"For some reason I have this image of him sighing calmly, drawing his gun and then asking that as if he's more annoyed about being late for his appointment.

DocM Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 With a quarter million+ people licensed to carry a concealed firearm in the region that kind of robbery is a very risky proposition. Then you have the open carry crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
