This is a followup to yesterday’s attempted robbery of a Blockbuster video
store in Orange City. The original article can be found here:

This “Arthur Hayhoe” character starkly reveals his true colors with his
asinine statement about “giving the criminal a fighting chance” — not in a
MILLION YEARS! Who the hell does this dip think he is? Maybe he should try
it himself before suggesting it to others. What a cretin!

MORE ON THE FLORIDA BLOCKBUSTER’S SHOOTING

Pictured at the right are the two predators who decided to rob that
Blockbuster’s store in Orange City, Florida on Monday night. The one on the
right is James Franklin Wince of Deltona, Florida. Wince is — or was 19.
He had a lengthy arrest record including arrests for crimes ranging from
burglary to auto theft. He should have been in jail. He wasn’t. He will
commit no more crimes. He has been removed from the gene pool …
permanently.

The one on the left is Darius Bennett. He’s 18. He’s alive, but he was
shot in the chest. The second shot missed. Too bad. Bennett will likely
be charged with murder since he was engaged in the commission of a crime
that resulted in the death of his partner, James.

These two predators were shot by Robert Shockley. He was inside the
Blockbuster’s store when the predators came in with their masks on screaming
violent, obscenity-laced threats. They were making it clear that they were
going to kill their victims. Shockley pulled his gun — he has a concealed
weapons permit — and ordered the predators to “freeze.” They didn’t. He
shot and killed James Wince, the one who was holding the rifle. Bennett
then reached for the rifle. Shockley shot him too.

Now … here comes Arthur Hayhoe, the executive director of the Florida
Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. He says he is troubled with the second
shooting. Hayhoe says that Shockley shot “an unarmed person,” and that’s
“awfully troubling. OK … let’s pick this situation apart here. The two
men come into the Blockbusters shouting obscenities and threatening to kill.
Shockley, who is there to pick up his son from work, pulls his pistol and
orders the men to “freeze.” When the one with the rifle points that rifle
at him he fires. One dead predator. The other predator then reaches for
the rifle. Shockley fires again and this idiot with the Florida Coalition
to Stop Gun Violence says that Shockley “shot an unarmed person.” What was
Shockley supposed to do? Was he supposed to wait until Benett actually got
his hands on the gun and his finger on the trigger before he shot him? Are
these the rules of engagement that innocent civilians are supposed to follow
when confronted by violent predators?

Maybe the Florida Coalition to Stop Gun Violence should publish a set of
guidelines on just what a citizen can do to protect themselves. Here’s one
paragraph.

“An armed citizen should not shoot an unarmed criminal. If the unarmed
criminal is reaching for a firearm the victim must wait until the criminal
actually picks up the firearm before he can fire his gun. This way, at
least, the criminal will have a fighting chance.”

Sorry, Arthur Hayhoe. Your plan just isn’t going to work for me.
