Gee, I don't know,

is it proper to run out of a restaurant and not pay your bill because of someone following the law?


She'd probably call folks like us who flee from her guns "thieves", just like you do.

It's easy to demonize folks who flee for their lives.

But such labels as "thief" and "shoplifter" would no doubt make her feel better about shooting at the folks who flee for their lives.

And when ammosexuals use terms like that, the purpose is intimidation.

It's an attempt by the NRA and their minions to make unarmed civilians afraid to run for our lives, out of fear of being labeled "thieves" and potentially being shot for our supposed crimes.

The intent is to make us feel like targets should we choose to run for our lives.

We're damned if we do, and damned if we don't.



Woman Who Shot At Fleeing Home Depot Shoplifters Gets Probation, Gun Rights Revoked

ROCHESTER HILLS (WWJ/AP) – A 46-year-old customer who shot at shoplifters fleeing a Home Depot in metro Detroit has been sentenced to probation.

Tatiana Duva-Rodriguez, of Clarkston, was sentenced Wednesday in Rochester Hills District Court to 18 months probation after pleading no-contest to reckless discharge of a gun. During that time, she is prohibited from buying, possessing or carrying a firearm. The judge also revoked Duva-Rodriguez’s license to carry a concealed weapon. She won’t eligible to apply again until 2023.

Duva-Rodriguez opened fire in the parking lot of the Auburn Hills Home Depot, flattening a tire on the thieves’ SUV in October.

According to police, Duva-Rodriguez was watching as 52-year-old Lloyd Wenn exited the store with a cart full of merchandise. Wenn was being followed by a store employee, who was trying to stop him because the items were not paid for. Wenn got into the getaway vehicle, driven by 46-year-old Anthony Harris, and began to flee when Duva-Rodriguez took action and fired at least three times.

Duva-Rodriguez was licensed to carry a concealed weapon, but she wasn’t being threatened by the shoplifters. Prosecutor Jessica Cooper called the shooting “disturbing.”
