Dusty Balz, SASS#46599 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 On Tuesday, an armed man approached a patron in a Taco Bell parking lot, demanded he drop his pants, and was subsequently shot and killed.The attempted armed robbery took place in Pompano Beach, Florida.According to CBS 4, it was approximately 6 pm when “21-year-old Rontavis Holton confronted [37-year-old] Ronald Farmer” in a Taco Bell parking lot. Holton — who was “wearing a ski mask and sunglasses” — allegedly pulled a gun on Farmer and “told [him] to pull down his pants.”Farmer pulled his own gun and shot Holton in self-defense.The AP reports that Farmer then ran inside the Taco Bell “seeking help.” Emergency personnel were alerted and upon arriving, they transported Holton to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.A woman who claims to be Farmer’s sister said the thief wanted to take her brother’s car. A Broward County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman confirmed that robbery was indeed the motive.http://www.miamiherald.com/news/loca...le6391560.html
Subdeacon Joe Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Keeps getting more weirder, doesn't it?
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 But Rontavis was such a good boy. He didn't deserve to be shot and killed.
Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Pretty easy to get a ccw card in Florida, fortunately for Mr. Farmer
Subdeacon Joe Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 But Rontavis was such a good boy. He didn't deserve to be shot and killed. I know. He was turning his life around. He just wanted to borrow the car to take food to the homeless shelter.
Yul Lose Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Coming soon a picture of the robber in his cap and gown.
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 "Pull your pants down" Does that happen a lot?

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Hey, nobody said community service was going to be easy. Well, the world is a little smarter today, but WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO.
Charlie Whiskers Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 It must have been a cold sunny day if he needed a ski mask and sun glasses. He wanted a warm way to get home so he was only trying to borrow the car.
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 "Pull your pants down" Does that happen a lot? Gonna be hard to chase a bad guy with your britches around your ankles.
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Hey, nobody said community service was going to be easy. Well, the world is a little smarter today, but WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO. And darn... there goes his public service career kick-off as a "community organizer."
Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 But Rontavis was such a good boy. He didn't deserve to be shot and killed. Really this was his last job, he needed the money but he was going straight after this!!!
Gracos Kid Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 And now will be more sympathizers such as the one holding the protest sign in Ferguson that read: "Mothers shouldn't have to fear for their sons lives when they rob the store" ...... :wacko:

Rusty Chains Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 If he could only have gotten into Obama's new free community college program, he would have been able to get a good job so he wouldn't have to supplement his child support payments this way!
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 What can one say. The perpS keep doing stupid things. Who wouldda thunk that the mark would have a GUN!
