Permit holder kills mugger in S. Minneapolis!

… educate the public on Islam and Pan Africaism.

What might this "education" be consisted of? That thuggery, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, et al, are all sanctioned by islam and pan "africaism"?

I thought Evanovich was a Jewish name.

[DeanC]

That's what I was thinking. Somethings not adding up.

Leroy Jenkins? Come on.

At least I have chicken.

And with that, this thread has now taken a rather sad turn. Only took 17 pages for full thread drift, is that some new record?

Sad turn indeed. Dean was merely making an oblique reference to the deceased (and community honored, revered for his expertise in his chosen craft/career) person's name to evoke some sorely-needed humor. He was, in fact, spot on with his post in that regard.

There is a time and a place to troll. The memorial facebook page of someone who was killed isn't it. These aren't the fans you want to flame.

Only there have been no memorial pages, its all "we demand justice for a criminal" and "we gonna get you" pages. A straight up memorial page wouldn't have brought the troll heat. You reap what you sow.

Well said!

Just speculation here, as are many of the posts here, but I would suspect that he wanted to be as far away from any firearm as possible when the Minneapolis police arrived. They might want to shoot first and ask if he was the perp afterwards.

I've only read the story once, but I thought the gun mentioned was the robber's which the good guy pointed out as evidence.

The reports that discussed it mentioned he(the permit holder) disarmed and unloaded. I wondered a bit myself why he would both disarm and leave his gun what sounded like some distance from himself; Certainly out of his immediate control.

I was wondering about this too, and the only thing I could come up with was that maybe he went and locked it in his car or something until police arrived.

Sorry, as that was supposed to sound sarcastic, nothing against Dean there, I thought it was funny. Back to the scheduled thread.

Facebook pages for someone who died get converted to memorial pages. So yeah.

You learn what you're taught.

This is, in no uncertain terms a retribution page

There's a story in the Strib today about, wonder of wonders, how he had been trying to turn his life around.

Best part...

Evanovich said her family has received threats since the shooting, including some from a Facebook page related to the shooting.

I'm pretty sure the threats on the page weren't directed at you.

[Pezhead]

Oh but it's ok for them to make threats? I'm not saying either is right. Why post stuff that is out there forever?
