Dying for Diapers – now there’s a silly idea!

It’s plain that people will steal anything if they think they can do so.

Had they been successful, those diapers would have shown up on the shelf at the local “Raghead Convenience Store”, where they also barter a person’s food stamps for cash. Orange and Semimole Counties in Florida are rife with this, and I suppose that they are not exclusive.

According to the article, the getaway car was stolen in a carjacking on Jan 13. Gee, I wonder if the suspects were responsible for that.

Legally armed, law abiding citizens will do what they must to protect their lives, as well as the lives of family, friends and innocent victims 2 less criminals to prey on people, and the message has been sent, “We will not take this”.

I’m sure we’ve all seen the meme, “Is anything in here worth killing for?”

I much prefer the corollary, ” Is anything in here worth dying for?”

I hope the helpful shooting shopper’s ID was kept secret. He’s going to get enough flak from the law. He doesn’t need it from the friends/family/recepients of his stolen largesse giving him grief.

“He was a Rhodes scholar going off to college, turnin’ his life around.”
“He didn’ du nuffin. Why did that mean (white) man have to shoot ma’ baby.”

Being in his 70’s he opted for the throat shot instead of the throat punch. That had to hurt!
