91-Year Old Michigan Man Shoots Would Be Robber In Rite Aid Parking Lot


According to Fox 5 San Diego:

A robber in Michigan picked the wrong target.

Eastpointe police said a 91-year-old man shot a would-be robber in the parking lot of a Rite Aid pharmacy Monday morning.

According to WJBK, the 91-year-old had pulled into the pharmacy’s parking lot around 10:15 a.m. Monday and said he began to feel uneasy when the man – later identified as Richard Ashford – walked up to him, acting erratically.

The 91-year-old warned Ashford that he had a concealed pistol license, and Ashford walked away.

When the man got out of his car to enter the pharmacy, however, Ashford confronted him again, pulling out an “unknown object” and pointing it at him, police said. The 91-year-old drew his gun and fired, hitting Ashford in the neck.

Ashford fled the scene despite his wound, but police later captured him and took him to a local hospital for treatment.

Authorities charged Ashford with felonious assault.

“This elderly man’s self-defense is an entirely appropriate use of force,” Prosecutor Eric Smith said. “Facing imminent assault, he announced that he was armed, made attempts to withdraw, warned again that he held a weapon, and fired only when completely necessary.”

GO GRANDPA! 91 and aim still good!🎯

2 Men Arrested And Charged For Walking Around Inglewood With Assault Rifles

Via KTLA:

Two men were charged on Thursday for allegedly walking around an Inglewood neighborhood with assault rifles while dressed in camouflage and body armor, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office.

Edmon Adonis Washington, 35, and Brook Thomas Lindsey, 30, each face one felony count of possession of an assault weapon, a Hi-Point semi-automatic assault rifle.

Lindsey was also charged with one felony count of unlawful assault weapon-.50 BMG rifle activity, a Hi-Point semi-automatic assault rifle.

On Aug. 16, Washington and Lindsey allegedly began walking around an area near 104th Street and Crenshaw Boulevard with semi-automatic assault rifles.

Video from the scene showed the men walking around in camouflage, carrying the rifles and talking about racism.

Police arrived at the scene and monitored the men as they walked around the neighborhood.

“Right now we are giving a peaceful demonstration. Nobody’s being shot. Nobody’s being brutalized. We’re out here just exposing racism, white supremacy,” one of the men told KTLA during his walk.

Both men were later arrested in San Fernando Valley.

“We don’t recommend anyone to walk around in public, day or night, with a firearm in plain view,” said the Inglewood police Sgt.

Yea, no kiddin! I really CAN’T believe nobody was shot. Nowadays this kind of stuff seems a guarantee death warrant, especially for 2 Black men, with high powered assault rifles? It’s mind baffling to say the least.

Is California an open carry state? And do sawed off shotguns and semi autos apply to that law?

Either way the whole story seems fishy is strange. Join the discussion.

Texas Woman Kept Undocumented Mexicans As Slaves For 19 Years By Telling Them She Was God

A Texas woman has been finally convicted for enslaving undocumented Mexican women for years. – Bossip

According to Fusion:

A federal jury last week convicted a Texas woman of illegally harboring undocumented Mexican women and forcing them to work as slaves in her home cleaning business for nearly a decade and a half. According to a statement from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Olga Sandra Murra, 64, was found guilty of two counts of forced labor and two counts of “harboring an illegal alien.”

Born in Mexico, Murra moved to the United States in 1997, bringing with her a woman identified only as “V.R.” as she settled first in El Paso, and then Forth Worth, according to ICE. The following year, Murra arranged to have another woman, identified as I.G., transported into the U.S. She kept both women’s identification documents.

Once in the country, both women were put to work by Murra, cleaning “three to four homes per day up to seven days per week,” ICE said. They were also required to clean Murra’s personal residence and cook her meals, despite being fed only bread and water themselves. They were not paid for their labor and were forced to turn over all money and earnings from their house cleaning to Murra.

Murra maintained control over the enslaved women with a combination of implied—and on at least one occasion, actual—violence, and religious conditioning. According to ICE:

Murra represented herself to the women as the voice of God on Earth, and required them to listen to religious recordings of Murra reading Bible verses and discussing their meaning while they cleaned homes. She caused both women to believe they would go to hell if they did not obey her.

She also threatened to call immigration officials, reportedly telling the women they would be killed “buried in a field with other illegal aliens.”

Wow, really? SMH! The fact that she herself is of Mexican decent is really atrocious. Join the discussion.
