Customer At Internet Cafe Shoots 2 Robbers

Two men who attempted to hold up an Internet cafe were shot and
injured by a patron of the business Friday night, according to the
Marion County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff's officials said
they got a call at 9:54 p.m. about an armed robbery at Palms Internet
Cafe, 8444 SW State Road 200. When deputies arrived at the scene,
patrons outside the business told them that two men in masks — one armed
with a baseball bat and the other with a handgun — had barged into the
business. The robbers told the approximately 30 patrons to get on the
floor, and they demanded money.Officials
said one of the patrons, Samuel Williams, drew his own handgun and shot

at the robbers, according to sheriff's officials.Both robbers began
running toward the front door, and the patron fired several more shots
as they fled.

The two men got into a car parked nearby and fled.

Not
long afterward, deputies got a call about two men at a Marion Oaks
residence who were telling people there that they had been shot while at
Scott Carrigan Baseball Park on Southeast 17th Street in Ocala. Police
Department officers went to the ball field but found no evidence of a
shooting there, according to sheriff's officials.The
two men were transported — one by helicopter — to Shands at the
University of Florida in Gainesville. The Sheriff's Office identified
them as Davis G. Dawkins and Duwayne Henderson, both 19. Dawkins has a
Dunnellon address. His alleged accomplice has an Ocala address,
officials
said.Dawkins had a superficial wound in his left arm, but Henderson was
shot in two places: his left buttock and his right hip

Locally, neither of the men have a criminal record, authorities said.

Are you kidding me??? What exactly was he doing wrong? He was in a crouched position, he maintained awareness of innocents, he maintained composure, he kept shooting until the target was no longer a threat, he then went the extra mile by forcing the threat to target him instead of innocents by taking aggressive position by walking toward them. He did this absolutely perfectly.

The right to arms will be relevant until the threat of violence from fellow citizens, foreign governments, or our own government against us is eliminated. As long as we are humans, this threat will always be present no matter how peaceful and advanced our society seems at a given time. Plus, on a lighter note, guns are just fun to shoot as a hobby, either for hunting or target practice. You probably don't "need" a gun, but you probably don't "need" a sports car either.

[blink180heights]

whats with the old man trying to KILL them... shooting chest up and not giving up even when one was already injured... old man was out of line, one shot to the leg or butt cheek should've done it but he chased the "kill" like an old faggot... other than that i'm not saying the robbers deserved any sympathy but its not like they were trying to kill anyone...
