LITTLE ROCK, AR - Monday night, Little Rock police arrested two brothers and charged them with murdering a west Little Rock restaurant employee.
The brothers, along with two other people, now all face murder charges in a suspected plot to rob the restaurant where they all worked.
Brothers Kiywuan Perry, 23, and Zeckeya Perry, 19, along with Quantez Dobbins, 19, and Kenya Smith, 19, sit in the Pulaski County jail with no bond. They are charged with murdering Jesus Herrera late Sunday night at El Chico restaurant where all five worked.

The younger brother told reporters Monday night that he did not know why he was going to jail. Police tell FOX16 that four suspects went into El Chico Sunday around 9:00 p.m. and ordered employees to the back. That's when police say witnesses heard five gunshots. When police got there, they found Herrera shot and killed.
Police say the masked suspects also got away with cash from El Chico.
"I've been told, and what we've gathered from the witnesses, no one tried to intervene or struggle with the robbers," says Little Rock Police Sgt. Cassandra Davis.

(1,534 posts)Certainly you're not suggesting that she possibly could have used a firearm to defend mere PROPERTY, are you? After, all, we all know that criminals won't hurt you if you give them what they want. She should have called the police or just beat them up. Or maybe she resisted. No way to know, but surely none of the blame lies with the criminal.

(6,185 posts)In both cases near Chicago they gave the criminals what they wanted, laid down in the back of the store to be tied up and were shot in the head one by one, execution style so there were no witnesses.
Thank heavens that none of them were allowed to carry a firearm. Think of how much worse it could have been. Oh, wait - never mind.

(4,941 posts)some of the bad guys might have gotten hurt. THEN this would be a spirited conversation.
I'm also not surprised that those who preach "give them what they want they'll leave you alone" aren't here to admit they were wrong.
You don't think they'd be purposely avoiding this, do you?

But they do tend to ignore posts that don't agree with their odd philosophy that somehow, not resisting an armed criminal and disarming all the law abiding will magically reduce crime, cats will lie down with dogs, unicorns will roam our public parks and the Cubs will finally win a world series.
They also seem to believe that if you have your own gun and resist there will be a bloodbath and the police will always shoot you and several innocents, since they can't tell the bad guy from the CCW permit holder. Hasn't ever happened anywhere, but they sure seem sure of it, don't they?

(4,941 posts)It's kinda fun watching the anti's twisting themselves into a pretzel defending those innocent children (Who were on their way to church to sing with the choir and got in the way of bloodthirsty out of control gunners, I guess).
Here's my theory. Don't do what you ain't supposed to be doing and your chances of gettin shot go way down.

shadowrider
(4,941 posts)But make sure you card the bad guys before you shoot. I'd hate for you to defend yourself against a child (16, 17 year old) who is pointing a gun at you with no proof he/she would actually pull the trigger. Hurt that child, and the anti's will have your a*s on a gurney before you know what's happened.

Too easy to lose your ass in the courts even if it was lawful.
But I would before I really lost my ass.

(4,941 posts)Not one anti on this board who insists "if you give the bad guy stuff they won't hurt you" has bothered to post on this thread, even after specific invitations.
Wonder why that is........

(363 posts)...after this senseless situation in AL, that maybe we could get some agreement on this statement.
Can we "finally agree that we will no longer hear that firing a warning shot or shooting to wound is a good idea. Why don't you be the first to join me? "
Please note shadowrider - this is not directed at you - but someone on the opposite side who I have been having a conversation with about the AL shooting.
I have posted this question a number of times to a person I have been disagreeing with. No answers.
I hope someone will answer, so that in all future discussions of the issue, when someone says "fire a warning shot" or "shoot to wound", we can point to our brethren across the aisle and agree on this issue.

(363 posts)...or Anti Gun, or whatever term is applicable to their situation, who perpetually insist every time there is a self defense shooting that people should "shoot to wound" or "fire warning shots".
Every time someone on the "Pro 2A" side says that is not a good idea, someone (usually a number of people) from the "Anti 2A" side will insist that a waning shot, or a shot to the leg is the best idea.
I am hoping this tragedy in Alabama will at least lead to an accord on both sides that warning shots, or shooting to wound, are not good ideas, Ever.
