Suspected Robber Shot 5-6 Times

Denying one the right to self-defend, denies him/her their most basic inalienable human right: The RIGHT TO LIVE!  Remember, when seconds count, the police are "only" minutes away!

A robbery suspect was shot and killed by his intended victim outside an East Atlanta Village bar.  Atlanta police identified the slain man as Jamarcus Usher, 29, of the Decatur area.  The man who opened fire in self defense is a 28-year-old who works in the airline industry and lives in a northern suburb of Atlanta.  That night, the intended victim and his female companion made their way to the popular East Atlanta Village, known for its trendy bars and eateries.  When they left a bar around 11:15 p.m., the man gave his date the keys to his Ford Ranger pickup truck so she could drive.  Inside the vehicle, the woman was adjusting the driver’s seat and mirrors when the man looked over his shoulder and saw Jamarcus Usher standing at his passenger window.  Believing the man was going to beg for money, the passenger rolled down his window a few inches.  He asked the stranger what he wanted, and noticed Usher reaching for his waistband or pocket.  Instinctively, the passenger shoved open his door, knocking the suspected robber back a few feet.  The man got out of the truck and Usher raised a weapon at him.  When the intended victim saw that, he opened fire hitting the suspected robber five or six times, in the stomach and chest.  The robber did not fire any shots.

The intended victim told the police that he "fired until the guy was no longer a threat to him.”  Thanks to your bravery, this menace will no longer be a threat to others in our society either.

Would Be Robber Shot Dead In Ft Myers

Denying one the right to self-defend, denies him/her their most basic inalienable human right: The RIGHT TO LIVE!  Remember, when seconds count, the police are "only" minutes away!

I know you didn't want to do it, Darrick Crawford, but you had to.  We're hoping you pull through and never have to make that horrible decision ever again.

Family Helped Cop Killer Elude Police

I love my mother.  She told me a long time ago that if I EVER did anything wrong, she would either:
A) Turn me in to the police herself OR
B) Kill me before the police caught me

Her point?  Don't do something wrong and come to her looking for an escape or sympathy!  To that end, what on earth possessed the family and friends of a cop killer to not only help him hide from the police during this ordeal but to call 911 and give them false leads to help him escape?  Click HERE for the story or watch the video below.






It's tragic enough that a man could murder four police officers in cold blood but to think that there are others around him that supported his actions is unconscionable.  I hope they send his family/friends to prison for a VERY long time.

Kudos to the officer for taking that monster off the street (especially since our legal system continued to set him free).

Whose Life Would You Save?

The story, which can be found by clicking HERE, describes how after his wife's car submerged into water, a man was unable to save his son without risking his life AND the life of his wife, so he made the decision to save her instead (The UK Times' headline is VERY misleading, but I digress).

The story reminded me of a report I read while in college.  The report discussed the differences in three cultures: Caucasians, Asians, and blacks (it did not differentiate between Korean, Chinese, Japanese, etc.).  The writers conducted a survey which gave the respondents the following scenario:

Imagine that your home home caught fire this evening.  Inside your home are your mother (or father), spouse, and one child.  Imagine that they are all unable to save themselves and time permitted you to be able to save just one life, whose life would you choose?  The researchers found it interesting that the overwhelmingly majority of the answers were split down racial lines.  Caucasians chose their spouse, Asians chose their parent, and blacks chose their child (the respondents did not suggest why they chose the individual they did and you can draw your own conclusions from that).


No one would have want to see ANY of their family members suffer.  Heck, most people ignore the thought of death so much they won't buy life insurance or set up a will or a trust ("Because if I don't think about it, it won't happen to me.")!

But let me ask you: If you were to ever face a gut wrenching scenario such as this, whose life would you spare?

Sleeping Outside For The Homeless

I love discussing politics, crime, punishment, and self-defense.  However, my mom often reminds me that there are good stories to be shared with my audience and that I shouldn't always focus on the negative people in our society.

So mom, I think this would make you proud.  Enjoy!

Teacher, do you believe in me?

Remember the name, Dalton Sherman. At 11 years old, he was the KEYNOTE SPEAKER for the teachers in the Dallas school district as a part of their back to school meetings. He's doing what is considered the biggest fear for many adults... at age 11... in front of 17K+ people!!!

In short, he reminds teachers (and really every parent, adult, etc.), that children are able to succeed in life... with their help. We know that some of the kids can be frustrating to deal with.  We understand that you put in a LOT of hours, deal with a load of crap, and don't always get the credit you deserve. But don't give up. Don't stop believing in your kids. After all, teachers spend more time with them during the week than their own parents get to!

The story behind Dalton involves a teacher not giving up on him (at the old age of nine years old). Dalton LOVED to talk. He was very disruptive and talkative in class. Instead of giving up on him... his teacher suggested he get involved in his community by giving little talks and speeches. She even made it a part of his homework. This is just one example of what NOT giving up can do for your kids!
