Another goblin bites the fucking dust.
This is why you don’t rob a man while he’s trying to enjoy his taco
Yeah, that perp is dead.
From Fox San Antonio:
A robbery suspect was shot and killed by a customer inside a Mexican restaurant on Houston’s Southwest Side. …
Houston Police said a masked man pointed a “fake gun” at customers who were eating and demanded their wallets and money.
The gun wasn’t even real!
This criminal mastermind lost his life by waving around a fake gun for taco money.
But if this good citizen is reading this: You’ve got to make a statement to the police, my man!
Police said all the customers, including the shooter, left before officers arrived at the scene.
“It would be great if they would come back to the scene and talk to us or call HPD homicide,” said Houston Police Lt. R. Willkens. “They need to give us their statements especially the individual who did the shooting and left.”
Even in Texas, you can’t just shoot a bad guy and then flee the scene!!
In a pig’s eye. Under NO circumstances should this Good Citizen (which is precisely what he is) “call HPD homicide”—no, not even in Texas. For one thing, he topped the now-room-temperature goblin as said goblin was walking away, with his back partially turned to said citizen. Remember: the cops are NOT your friends, nor are they on the side of anything resembling justice, civil order, or basic decency.
Worse yet, what we have here is a Whypeepo (a/k/a white supremacist insurrectionist coup-plotting Sacred Temple Of Democracy-defiling MAGA terrorist) taking out a blameless Dindu, entirely for shits and giggles. With all that stacked against Good Citizen, Officer Friendly of Houston Homicide will have Good Citizen slapped in durance vile for Murder 2 so fast his head would never stop spinning.
It’s truly sad that we’ve come to this, but the simple fact is that when law and order is allowed to disintegrate into utter meaningless—or actively encouraged to by TPTB, no less—then vigilante justice is the only justice Joe Normal can ever hope to get. And, well, here we all are. They’ve sown it, and now reaping time approacheth.
I’ve occasionally told my purely imaginary and never happened tale of stopping a rape when I was a teen, by means of kicking the rapist under the chin as he knelt over her getting her clothes off. Dead right there. A stupid pig starting to draw on me as I carried the woman to get help only furthered my low opinion of stupid pigs and set my method for dealing with muggers and rapists: the urban equivalent of shoot, shovel, and shut up. (In practice: break neck, leave the body where it falls, maybe mention that something happened but provide no details.)
No honest citizen should report a defensive killing to the stupid pigs unless there’s a good chance that he’ll be identified and it’ll look better if he goes to them first. I’m not sure how that plays out with modern America’s pervasive surveillance.
From politicians, to cops, to doctors, to “journalists” and media generally, we’ve gone from a high-trust, to a low-trust society in only a few scant years, with NO-trust society rapidly coming at us. All thanks to a Power that thinks it can easily maintain control over a polity that has learned, by repeated demonstration, that their would-be Masters are wholly unworthy of trust. Those Masters aren’t going to like how that plan works out for them in the end, I think.
I wrote an essay on this about a year ago but don’t seem to have published it. Leastways, I don’t see it when looking through the posts I’ve made here. One moment…
