According to a report by the FOX 9 News they support and encourage murder.  This can be found on their website at the following address which will probably be deleted shortly so I will include a screen shot. 

http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/dpp/news/mugging-suspect-shot-by-witness-oct-21-2011
MINNEAPOLIS - A Good Samaritan shot and killed a mugging suspect in the
parking lot of a south Minneapolis Chinese buffet after the man robbed
and pistol-whipped an elderly woman on the same block.
Read more: Mugging Suspect Chased, Shot by Witness Outside Minnneapolis Chinese Buffet


According to the report a man who shot and killed another man is called a "Good Samaritan".  My understanding of a good Samaritan is a person who helps a victim of unfortunate circumstances and has nothing to do with perpetrating violence or killing!  The article said that the "Good Samaritan" chased down and shot and killed the mugger.  Since when did a Good Samaritan become a murderer?

Because of articles like this where they portray people who kill people for any reason as saints are by definition lying because a saint or a good Samaritan would never perpetrate violence at all. 

The reason why anyone would mugg someone is because the legislators in expensive suits making lots of money, not to exclude all of the bribes and benefits that they get, make laws that prevent people from having access to the basic necessities of life and punish people who should desire to live when they don't have money unless they are a slave to a company or person so that they can buy the right to live.   

This article is not journalism.   It is a lie.  Good Samaritans do not kill people for any reason nor do they perpetrate violence.  FOX News and most major media organizations are putrid supporters of criminal activities.

B/S

AUTHOR: Joseph Brown - Spartanburg (USA)

Let me ask you a question, Troy. Are you really as stupid as you sound? Never mind, I already know the answer. According to you the good samaritan should sit down and have a long conversation with the perp and tell him that he really, really shouldn't have done what he did and get on with his life. And I'm sure the original victim and her family would agree with you. Suuure they would. In your feeble little mind he, the perp, is just a misguided soul.

Laws

AUTHOR: Susan - This City (USA)

This is what you get with conceal carry laws. Pull out a gun and shoot instead of tackle and hold while trying to help.

" Officers went to the Cub Foods where they were approached by a man who said he witnessed the mugging of the elderly woman and had chased the suspect to an area near the Super Grand Buffet. The Good Samaritan said he had a valid Minnesota permit to carry a handgun and that he had shot the suspect during a confrontation outside of the buffet. He told officers where to find his handgun and he was detained for questioning. "

It will be interesting to see how the state handles this one. He chased the purse snatcher,  killed him, then went back to Cub Foods to tell the cops where to find the purse snatchers body.

You left something out of your story.

AUTHOR: Robert - Buffalo (USA)

Gee Troy, you forgot to mention that the DEAD MUGGER was ARMED.  You forgot to mention that the DEAD MUGGER PISTOL WHIPPED an elderly lady!  The dead mugger committed armed robbery and assault/battery.

The good samaritan witnessed the robbery/assault, chased the mugger, caught up to the mugger and had a confrontation with the mugger.  It was during the confrontation that the MUGGER STOLE one of the good samaritan's bullets! (was shat by the good samaritan.)

Since you failed to mention the facts that the mugger was armed and pistol whipped the lady, I suppose we can call you a liar as well.

Perhaps we should ask the old lady what she thinks about this good samaritan and your deliberately misleading Ripoff Report.

'GOOD SAMARITAN' ( definitions) - A compassionate......

AUTHOR: Karl - Highlands Ranch (USA)

person who unselfishly helps others.

1. (Christian Religious Writings / Bible) New Testament a figure in one of Christ's parables (Luke 10:30-37) who is an example of compassion towards those in distress.
2. a kindly person who helps another in difficulty or distress.

*The above definitions are from TheFreeDictionary website.

Thank You

P.S. Killing a person because another is in distress does not make the killer a 'Good Samaritan'. Anyone who believes that a 'Good Samaritan' can kill someone else would believe that the following sentences are also true:

Example: Jesus saw a woman who was being beaten by a man, so he grabbed a large piece of wood and beat the man to death. A day later, Fox 9 News interviewed Jesus and gave him the 'Good Samaritan Award'.

What you get Susan.

AUTHOR: Robert - Buffalo (USA)

What you get Susan, is ONE LESS ARMED ROBBER brandishing about society robbing and assaulting folks!  You read the article and yet you seem to think that witnesses and bystanders should attempt to "tackle and hold" an ARMED ASSAILANT.  Are you daff?

Perhaps if some law abiding citizens (who are armed) witness a violent raping taking place, they should merely sit down and start singing "Koombaya" and tell the ASSAILANTS how wrong and terrible their actions are.  Better yet, the witnesses should whip out there smart phones and post the live action on to you tube and facebook!

Get real!  If some ARMED robber was assaulting you, I'm pretty sure you would want someone to nail the jerk.  Armed criminals and ASSAILANTS need to know that when they commit a violent crime, they run the REAL RISK that someone will intervene and put an END to their criminal career.  The POLICE cannot protect you-they are an after-the-fact action, AFTER you've been assaulted, raped, or killed.

This former ARMED ROBBER AND ASSAILANT will NEVER ROB or ASSAULT anyone ever again.

I'll never understand folks as you that are compelled to feel sorry for the CRIMINAL.

Why?

AUTHOR: Robert - Irvine (U.S.A.)

Why did you pick the FOX report?

How about the CBS report that was basically the same thing?
http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2011/10/21/police-%E2%80%98good-samaritan%E2%80%99-shoots-kills-alleged-robber/

Why not pick the one from the Star Tribune.
http://www.startribune.com/local/minneapolis/132807258.html

Because that report stated that the one who shot him wasn't going to be prosecuted.  Perhaps it was because they went into the other alleged crimes this person and his sister did.  Oh..you didn't know that she was there when her brother pistol whipped the eldery woman the night he was shot?  You didn't know that she is being charged for a few other violent robberies with the same MO in the previous weeks?  

I wonder what your real motive is for not only posting the report but picking on a particular report.

Anyone can 'Google' this- SING A LONG CHRISTMAS CAROLS, and click on song #42 and sing the following lyrics to that tune, right?

Here we go- 1, 2, 3...

Occupy and never stop, the people did say
Mob's in charge of our country, they make too much pay
All that pay they stash away, making so many weep
People cold and they're hungry our debt is so deep
Occupy! Occupy! Occupy! Occupy!
Mob's in control and it's one big fat lie.

Big-shots smoking their cigar, down in West Palm Beach
There's a goofball in office, it's time to impeach
Contact Chong and then text Cheech, country's falling apart
Mob is stinky and rotten and smells like a fart
Occupy! Occupy! Occupy! Occupy!
Mob's in control making so many cry.

(Keep Repeating)

Anyone can 'Google' this- CHEECH AND CHONG, and go to the related sites in order to learn more about them and also see pictures of them.

Miss the whole point, people.

AUTHOR: Troy - Lexington (U.S.A.)

Half of you missed the point of all of this.  Fox 9 news encourages murder, period, by justification.  If I can think of a good reason to murder someone then I would be then a hero for KILLING.  How psychotic is that? 

More than likely this robber is an ex con with a brandished criminal record to the point that he can't get  employment or housing and because of that he has no choice, if he wants to survive, to commit what society considers crimes.  And you all think he's a 'bad person' for robbing someone.  That just means you have no compassion  or understanding of the situation.

The other thing is food and housing costs money and the globalists who engineer recessions cause most of the crime if you follow what most of society is entirely ignorant to and that is 'causality'.  Our government's policy is that if you don't have a job to support yourself you deserve to die of starvation and of the elements due to lack of housing.  The only reason this style of society exists is because lack of money coerces people into working for companies to make rich guys wealthier so that these people can pay huge amounts of tax to the banking industry (real terrorists) so they can use the common person to fulfill their globalist plans of one world government and economic slavery.  There's no reason why food and shelter can't be free.  Its insane that it is not free.  And because Fox 9 news believes that it's a good thing to murder people who commit crimes they indirectly support the globalist agenda. 

So yeah, I didn't miss anything.  Bottom line is it is unethical and unloving to consciously kill anyone for any reason.  The guy murdered is a victim of the globalist agenda.  And because Fox news never reports on stories like this is because they are part of the globalist agenda to vomit progaganda to coerce the way societies think and believe.  That has been proven time and time again.  If you want to watch real news, watch the GCN network with Alex Jones on infowars.com.

Troy, how long have you been a flaming liberal?

AUTHOR: Ken - (USA)

To justify the perps actions because he was "likely" needy is a little odd...in fact, it's downright stupid.

Next time someone with need decides to assault and rob someone...I would hope it would be a liberal such as yourself.  See if you still feel the same while you're in the hospital with broken bones and a concussion.

Oh, but according to you, you'd just give him a hug and forgive and forget. I'll bet you feel so self righteous that you have trouble not hugging YOURSELF.

You sure have a "rose colored glasses" look at the world.

It's liberals, like you, that fuel these perps to feel entitled to take whatever they want.

Just in case I'm unclear, I would have shot him under the same circumstances...go figure.

Hope they call Fox to the scene when I do, I'm sure they'll support me.

Troy needs a dictionary.

AUTHOR: Robert - Buffalo (USA)

Invest in a dictionary Troy and then look up the definition of "murder."  The assailant/robber was NOT murdered.

In all your liberal rants, you don't ever mention that this scum PISTOL WHIPPED an old lady-somebody's grandmother!

This scum was LAWFULLY put to death!  Assailants need to know that when they choose to assault innocent folks they are putting their lives at risk-that's a real deterrent to violent crime.

Wrong!

AUTHOR: Ramjet - Somewhere (U.S.A.)

I am a liberal Democrat and would have shot the guy dead and I'm glad there is one more violent criminal off the street. Let's not generalize in any direction.

It's just an excuse to say the poor fellow was a victim of society.  This kind of violent criminal has been around in various forms since the beginning of mankind and will still be here when we're all dead and gone.  They are nothing new and are not a product of our current society, and certainly not because of the editorial style of a TV or radio station.  We cannot reason with these criminals and coddling them is obviously not a solution.

I am not a fan of Fox but in this case they were not wrong, I would give the Samaritan an award myself.

Concealed carry

AUTHOR: Joseph Brown - Spartanburg (USA)

This happened in my hometown yesterday. A man took up residence in a couple's empty home that is for sale. The couple went to the home, after they were told about this, confronted the perp and the perp grabbed the the homeowner's arm. Said homeowner was armed, but that didn't matter to the perp. Homeowner's wife grabbed her own conceal carry permitted weapon and shot the perp in the face. Perp is in the hospital. I'm assuming the lady needs more gun range time or something larger than a 9mm.

Yo, Troy, are you from Lexington, Mass or Lexington Avenue in NY? I can't fathom that any other Lexington in the USA could have such a simplistic bleeding heart Liberal mentality living within it.

This miscreant had PISTOL WHIPPED an OLD WOMAN!

The guy who chased after him had every right to use deadly force, for this piece of excrement was <b><u>armed and extremely dangerous</u></b>! At any moment, this human dung heap could have wheeled around and shot at the guy, come back or circled back and finished off the old lady, let alone remain free to attack others.

AUTHOR: Robert - Buffalo (USA)

I responded to the original message that did not say the criminal was armed, or pistol whipped the lady. It said she was mugged and a good samaritan chased him and killed him.

In rebuttal #4 YOU quoted the 4th and 5th paragraphs of the article from Fox http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/dpp/news/mugging-suspect-shot-by-witness-oct-21-2011, which indicates that you went to the Fox website and read the article.  Like Troy, you conveniently omitted pertinent information that did not support your anti-gun agenda.  Troy's posting did NOT have the information YOU posted in your first rebuttal.

The 6th one sentence paragraph of the article states:  "Officers found another handgun believed to belong to the dead suspect near the location of the shooting."

The 7th one sentence paragraph of the article states:  "The mugging victim sustained a cut to her head when she was pistol-whipped."

So my dear, either you stopped reading the article at the end of paragraph 5 or you're daff.  Which is it?

Education Troy?

AUTHOR: Robert - Buffalo (USA)

What part of unethical or unloving don't you understand?  I'll be happy to educate you.

This from the bozo who doesn't know what the word murder means.

Spare us your idiotic blatherings.  This assailant had other options.  He didn't just rob someone, he PISTOL WHIPPED AN OLD LADY.  And, you dolt, he robbed and pistol whipped her outside of a convenience store.  Now, if your poor little victim of society was truly looking for some food, he could have STOLEN some food from the convenience store, couldn't he?  He could have run in, grabbed a loaf of bread and a package of sandwich meat and ran away.

Perhaps he needed some cash to make his monthly Escalade payment?  OK, he could have robbed the STORE of some cash while grabbing some munchies.  Instead, he chose to ASSAULT an old woman with a WEAPON-too much of a coward to use bare hands.  You see Troy, this was not a simple robbery by a victim of society to survive in our evil country.  This was an ASSAULT with a weapon against a defenseless old lady.

You were dishonest with your RoR posting by omitting pertinent information.  Susan was equally dishonest with her first rebuttal by omitting pertinent information.  Now you, as she, try to equivocate your stance with gibberish and lies.  Why can't you anti-gun whiners just tell the complete truth?

Come to NY and go on welfare.  Not only will you get FREE housing, food, and medical care. you'll also get a free college education and in-vitro fertilization treatments!
