The Gun Control crowd and the Criminals! Not much of s surprise there.
Via Concealed Nation we find the case of 23-year-old Roosevelt Rappley who went into a Dollar Store, produced a gun to rob the place and ended up shot by an armed employee. Police investigated and so far it looks like a very legal shooting. That same store had been robbed four times prior which is probably why dear old Roosevelt though it would be easy pickings.
And now we have the family on TV and as we sadly are accustomed to see, they barely lay the blame for the consequences of his actions on the idiot kin who decided it would be a good idea to threaten people with a gun for cash, but come down on the employee who stopped Mr Rappley’s forcible felony:
Ain’t she ever so charming? She is explaining to us that them be some rules about armed robbery and one of them is that nobody is supposed to be armed but the robber. This is pretty much similar to the excuses we hear from Gun Control Zealots explaining the dangers of being armed in the workplace. She is the best example of this old bumper sticker:
Most stores’ rules are: “Just let them kill you, OK? We don’t need a lawsuit and BLM protesting in front of HQ.” but apparently Dollar Stores have a different take on store security than the rest of corporate America.
Dollar General did not confirm or deny if employees were allowed to carry firearms, but did say that they have “a number of safety and security procedures.”
“To protect the integrity of these measures, we do not comment on them specifically,” said a statement issued by the company. “We are continuing to review the circumstance surrounding this evening’s events in Dayton, Ohio, and are cooperating with local authorities in their investigation.”
Dollar General shooting: Man shot after attempted armed robbery identified
The best thing Dollar Stores could do is to get this publicized as much as it can. Maybe a violent robber or two will rethink about hitting a local and the workers can be safe.

I absolutely love her indignation! Awesome. That needs played over and over and over, to drive home the point of how the criminal element–and yes, she is very much a part of the criminal element, her viewpoint clearly places her there–views the rest of society:
1. You should just lie down and take it.
2. It’s okay when we do it, but not when you do it.
3. Call the police, because they take too long to get there, and if they do get there, they have rules to follow and we and ours have a much better chance of living through that encounter than one with an unexpectedly armed victim.
I can only hope the intended victim was black too, which would REALLY get her mad, as then they can’t claim it was racism.
Even if the survivor is a person of color ™ sis will claim he is an uncle tom or some such.
Did the news cut her off before she said what she would do with her gun?
I do believe they did
“Families” like this should be charged as accessories. RICO them.
That famlily’s attitude is astonishing, even shocking to me.This is why your culture is a petri dish of shithole.
She’s going to try to kill that clerk. She as much as said so.
Unlikely — it would take planning, forethought, and involve delayed gratification. I don’t think those are strengths in that family.
Notice that the “news” says the “armed robber was gunned down” by an employee. A bit biased?
