First:
Police are investigating a Saturday night shooting at a Southwest Miami-Dade bank that left one suspected robber dead and another fleeing the scene.
Miami-Dade Police say the shooting took place at the BB&T Bank branch located on Southwest 137th Avenue near Kendall Drive around 8:30 p.m.
Investigators say the victim was at a drive-thru ATM at the bank when a suspected robber approached the victim’s white pick-up truck and the two got into a confrontation. Shots were fired, according to police, and the robber was struck and died at the scene.

Second:
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – The mother of a 23-year-old woman who shot at an attempted robber at a Valero gas station told Local 10 News that her daughter had a legal license to carry the firearm. Miami-Dade police said the victim shot the suspect multiple times during the attempted robbery.
Miami-Dade Police said the shooting took place at 7 a.m. at the gas station near Northwest 79th Street and 13th Court.

Neither would-be victim had to retreat or roll over and beg for mercy because they were disarmed as the Florida Democrats would want it. Yet there is legislation being considered in Tallahassee right now that will do exactly that. Florida has been the example of what a legally armed citizens is really like when it comes of the Second Amendment. What could have been two innocent people killed by violent criminals, turned out to be one criminal now dead one wounded and one sought by the police on murder charges with two good citizens alive.
And that is why we carry.
But there will be “Blood in the Streets” if the proles are armed. Yeah, the blood of scumbag criminals stupid enough to attack legally armed citizens.
II don’t agree with them, but I understand the concept that the left began with: All lives are equal, therefore an outcome which results in a dead body is bad, whether that body was a homicidal maniac or his intended victim, a dead body is a dead body. Like I said, I disagreed, but I could understand the logic.
The new logic appears to be “if the dead body is one of the chosen ones: POC, GLBTQABCDEFG, or other, then this is a tragedy. If the body is one of those white guys, then he was a racist terrorist, so who cares?”
Applying the word “logic” to what you describe as the left’s original concept is certainly stretching the meaning of that term way beyond what it can handle. Not to mention that I rather doubt they ever held this notion. They may have attempted to make us think it, once in a while, but even that is a stretch.
The “all dead bodies bad” idea is so stretchy that it can support PETA, or the Jain religion in which eating root vegetables is considered wrong because it disturbs little animals that live in the earth. (No explanation why disturbing those same animals by the process of planting is ok, or why animal life is sacred but plant life isn’t.)
