Finally!!

This article is mistitled. Instead of reading "Man killed in robbery gone wrong" it should read some thing like "low life scum robber gets what he so richly deserves". Of course you won't see a headline like that on this or any other clearly and decidedly liberal rag sheet. The truth is nothing went wrong in this case and everything went right.

This is exactly the way it is supposed to work in a free society. A guy comes into someone's home or business in this case with the intention to rob and maybe even do bodily harm to the occupants. instead of being successful in his efforts he is instead summarily dispatched and leaves the place in a body bag. Case closed. No expensive trial. No three hots and a cot for who knows how long. It is taken care of by the occupant of the business as it should be. Justice is done.

This incident happened yesterday March 31. It was a good day for San Angelo and for America and Americans. Sleep well tonight knowing it is okay to protect YOUR home or business from malcontents like this one. San Angelo is a little bit safer tonight thanks to the employee of this jewlery store who quite literally took care of business.

UPDATE, 4/2/2010: In today's San Angelo Sub-Standard Times, reporter Jennfer Rios reported that the clearly self-defense shooting of this would-be robber was a "homicide". Perhaps if Ms. Rios is not smart enough to know what Texas law is these matters she should be reassigned to covering stories that are not above her IQ like bake sales or easter egg hunts. Either that or since the robber was a young Hispanic male and Ms. Rios is a young Hispanic female there is some bias in her reporting. Either way, her reporting of this story is a huge problem.

As a writer, columnist, and reporter myself I would caution Ms. Rios to fact check herself thoroughly before shooting off her mouth like that. She reflected poorly not on on herself, but on the paper as well. If a home or business owner shoots and kills an assailant in his or her own home or business, that is SELF-DEFENSE, not murder or homicide, both of which terms indicate mailce and or pre-meditation. Is this the kind of shoddy journalism we can now expect from The Sub-Standard Times??
