Never Rob A Videogame Store Without A Gun
by Dan Landis on June 27, 2008 at 1:07 am
Several men were caught robbing a videogame store in Jacksonville, Florida, where police shot and killed the guy that didn’t have a gun.
Police say they saw a gun on one of the robbers, but they somehow managed to not shoot that guy and instead killed Artavious Edmond Debose, an unarmed man. So it would seem that the odds are strangely in your favor to not get shot if you yourself are packing heat.
I know what you may be thinking. You don’t want to get capped, but you don’t have a gun, right? Maybe you should carry a fake gun to keep yourself safe from the po-po’s wrath, make them at least think you are strapped. Wrong again.
It seems that fake guns will also get you shot. Earlier in the same day, Jacksonville police blasted James Martin Imbrani several times after he robbed a bank with a BB gun.
Florida law states that “officers can use force if they believe fleeing felons pose a threat to the officer or others,” so it would seem that no gun and fake gun is more dangerous than real gun. While we obviously don’t advocate robbing anything in the first place, if you’re planning to break the law, at least be safe about it and buy yourself a piece.
I also suggest that the Jacksonville police spend some more time on their murder simulators to make sure they can hit the right guy.

How about don’t break the law, maybe that should be the lesson.
If i were a cop and i see a gun on one criminal i would not hesitate to take a shot (the officer has to assume they are all armed) if you didn’t want get shot at and you don’t have gun don’t go to the gun fight with your dumb friends. The job of the Police is is to enforce the law not get shot by some criminals, I can’t believe this site is defending criminal activity like it is just something to do and then attack the police for protecting the public from armed assailants. Bravo!!

One more thing have you ever the term guilty by association? well this would def apply here.
I have to much respect for law enforcement for you guys to spout crap off like this. I am not saying they are all perfect there are bad cops, but a far greater majority are good people trying to do a good thing for their community. to attack the police for doing there job and saying they are all bad is equal to saying all muslims are terrorist, and that is not true.

Not as stupid as the jerkoffs robbing a video game store. Grow some balls and rob a bank like a real man. Hell, Patrick Swayze did a pretty good job of it in Point Break (until he got Neo in on it) and he was a drag queen in that Too Wong Foo movie. Seriously, who robs a video game store? Were the that desperate to get Pokemon Yellow? Maybe Wii Fit?

Can’t do the time, don’t do the crime….

In this case the time is death, so you should pretty much steer clear of the crime.

Vyper,
I am not attacking the police. I never said “they are all bad.” I never said any of them were bad. I’m just pointing out the irony in that two different incidents on the same day in the same city end with the same police department shooting people that didn’t have guns. Of course we’re not defending criminal activity. I don’t know why you’re getting so worked up over this. You need to relax before you give yourself heart disease. If you can’t see the humor in this or anything else “tragic” in life, then I feel bad for you.

Hey, a BB gun could be pretty dangerous. You’ll shoot your eye out.

He was not a criminal…he was my future husband..so now I guess I have no future… His friends lied, they tricked him….he would never steal from anyone. He was so sweet and kind but I guess the papers wont tell you that…..he had a son who now doesnt have a dad…..Dont believe everything you see on the news or read in the papers…He was my baby and I miss him so much.
