Internet Cafe Robbery, Tables Turned
Looks like concealed carry won out in this showdown...
OCALA, FLA. (AP) — Authorities in central Florida say two men were trying to rob an Internet cafe when a 71-year-old patron began shooting his own gun, wounding the suspects. Surveillance video shows two masked men entering the Palms Internet Cafe around 10 p.m. Friday. The Ocala Star-Banner ( Charges unlikely against man who shot robbers | Ocala.com) reports one pointed a gun at customers while the other swung a baseball bat. The video shows patron Samuel Williams pulling a handgun and shooting. He continues firing while the suspects fall over each other as they run out the door. Nineteen-year-olds Duwayne Henderson and Davis Dawkins were later arrested and face attempted armed robbery with a firearm and criminal mischief charges. Both posted bail and were released. Williams has a concealed weapons permit. Bill Gladson of the Marion County State Attorney's Office says the shooting appears justified.

Hmm, he should pack a bigger caliber.
Guess he was afraid they'd make him miss the early bird diner special.

They are lucky my 82 year-old father wasn't pulling the trigger. Korea and 'Nam and a .45 he used in both. Mess with an old man's internet, $hit's coming down range.

Burn the fire.

Moral of the story: There are consequences for your actions - especially if your actions are attempted armed robbery.

What we see is one of the three possible scenarios. Perp turns and runs (then lawyers up and sues you) Perp returns fire and that could get ugly, innocent bystanders get hurt who then lawyer up and sue you. Perp drops and no longer presents a threat which is my preference.

They obviously come from a disadvantaged upbringing. A little more compassion, please.

They left a lot faster than they entered.
It looked to me like his choice of firearm was just fine, what more could you ask? Jim

So it would seem .380 doesn't have much stopping power, but it has a hell of a lot of scamper power.
Way to go, Grampaw!

Pretty sure at least one of them needed a change of man-panties afterward!
Absolutely hilarious watching them fall over each other trying to get away. All I could think of when I watched this was "Who da beyotch now?" angela

That is totally funny, those punks now will cry foul play on the old guy. Don't you know robbers have rights.
I know I probably got this story all messed up but I heard about some electrician that got robbed so many times in his house that he wired all his aluminum window frames with 220v and one night he was watching tv and watched someone try to break in only to be lite up like a christmas tree. He got sued by the would be robber for ruining him for life.

Massive Bravo Zulu to "gramps"... well done.... I tend to agree that packing a M1911 and the job would have been complete there at the scene.... I love the segment where the perps were scampering about like girly-pimps... bet ya they look just like obamas son

At least he had the wits about him to not follow them out of the store and continue shooting or he may have found himself in trouble.
