Robbery goes wrong in Cleveland.

http://www.newsnet5.com/dpp/news/local_news/cleveland_metro/attempted-home-intruder-killed

"He was on his own property. They dragged him out of his car, and they dragged his girlfriend as well, and he defended himself. He did the right thing, and so I stand with him, I stand with his family. I've known his family since he was a little kid, and had he not taken the action he had taken he would have been another young dead black kid in this city,



CLEVELAND - One person is dead and another suspect remains on the loose after an attempted robbery overnight on East 178th Street just off of Nottingham Road in Cleveland.

Should read One person slightly injured one unharmed after failed attack.


Cleveland the only place I was told to get off the streets and back to my hotel for our own safety. LOL

this appears to be a justifiable use of deadly force and charges will not be filed against the CCW holder.

It appears there was no objection made by the couple's neighbors.

Loved the Betty Boop character.

from the assault to a safe area and reported this to police. There was obviously an opportunity and an opening to do so. Instead he chose to raise the level of violence by producing another firearm into the situation. As it is they should be charged with murder, tried , convicted and sent to a long term prison sentence.












I don't know if this is needed.
