Two young thugs storm into an internet cafe in Florida with a bat and a gun, and start herding everyone together to rob them – at the very least.<\/p>\n

Sam Williams – a 71 year old guy with a carry permit – legitimately fearing death or great bodily harm (lest we forget, there are A GUN AND A BASEBALL BAT pointed at him and the rest of the customers), draws and fires, wounding both of the attackers and sending them scampering for their lives.<\/p>\n

It’s a beautiful thing – criminals wetting themselves with fear:<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

That’s two criminals (and, most likely, Democrat voters<\/del>) off the street.<\/p>\n

No word yet on whether President Obama thinks the lads “look just like him” or not.<\/p>\n

Here’s the point: \u00a0in Florida, if the shooting is ruled legitimate self-defense, the shooter – Sam Williams – will be immunized from being sued by the victims<\/del> thugs.<\/p>\n

If this were in Minnesota? \u00a0The two probable DFL voters<\/del> thugs, from jail, would have every right to run out and find themselves a couple of personal injury lawyers (most of whom are DFL voters and contributors) and try to sue Mr. Williams back to the stone age. \u00a0At best<\/em>, Mr. Williams will spend whatever is in his retirement to defend himself against the people who’d threatened to kill him for his money; at worst, he’ll be cleaned out. Ruined.<\/p>\n

Thanks, Governor Bored Dilettante!<\/p>\n
