For the second time in two days in South Florida, victims have opened fire on armed robbers. And both gunmen ended up dead.So just give him what he wants, right?
In the latest incident overnight, a man sitting in a car alongside a woman was confronted by a man dressed all in black, wearing a ski mask and carrying a gun. He demanded money -- and to see the woman strip naked, Miami police said.
But here's the real outrage that this story represents: The Brady Campaign did it's best to derail Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law--misrepresenting it as a "Shoot First Law" that would allow nervous gun owners to get away with murder, and producing fliers, newspaper ads, billboards--even trying to scare tourists at airports with warnings they were in danger of being killed because of the new law. And leading the charge was Peter Hamm, someone who evidently feels being threatened is not sufficient grounds to shoot someone, but being called "Petey" is.
Make no mistake: Petey and his fellow subversives would rather the survivors in the above two incidents had been victims--as they most certainly would have been if the Bradys had their way. It would actually work out to their advantage, because there'd be fresh blood to dance in, fresh victims to jack up their donation request amount. And if a violent predator demanded Petey's money, and that he strip naked, he'd be helpless to do anything about it but snivel, whimper, plead and cry (assuming he objected) and, of course, give him what he wants.
