Police: Driver Kills Would-Be Carjacker
DETROIT, Mich. — A father from Detroit survives a double shooting that exposed his double life.Ouch. Nothing like having to defend your life in a shoot-out to bring your cheatin' heart to the forefront... That aside, bravo to you sir. He was approached by an armed thug who demanded the keys to his SUV - and started shooting - and not only survived the encounter but killed the thug in the process. There are no guarantees, but if the thug had not started shooting he might have gotten the car - let's face it, the guy wouldn't have been exposed if he handed the keys over.
The 36-year-old man, who is married with a 9-year-old daughter, was out with another woman and her 5-year-old son at the time of the shooting.
But a willingness to open fire before your intended victim even has a chance to respond? That thug made the decision to kill long before he approached that guy, and had our hero not been armed, he'd be another statistic in Detroit's murder tally. Make no mistake - he was marked for death for no reason other than he owned something that a thug wanted. Only the gun he was lawfully carrying saved his life - not compliance, not "giving them what they want", not refraining from resisting - but honest to goodness actual lead flying back at the goblin.
Dead Goblin Count: 77
That is all.

This highlights one of the biggest problems with the idea of not using violence to protect property -- the thugs are under no such restriction to get that property.

That is perfectly stated and as long as I'm unable to read the criminal's mind; shouldn't we work under the assumption that an armed thug is willing to kill to get the property, be it a car or anything else?

Absolutely.
I have seen/heard so many wailing liberals proclaim, "Let the home-invader have the TV - it's not worth a life."
My response has always been:
"I didn't decide that my TV was worth more than a human life, the bad-guy did when he brought a gun with him, prepared to end MY life if I tried to stop him. At my house, he loses."
Meh- He (the perp) will be portrayed as a choir boy, turning his life around, etc... and the victim will be portrayed as a gun toting nut...
Old NFO:
An adultering gun-toting nut. Fixed it for you :-)
