Robber Threatens to Kill Shop Owner’s Family During Stickup – He Was Later Pronounced Dead From Single Gunshot Wound
NEWARK, N.J. (TheBlaze/AP) — A Newark shop owner shot and killed an armed robbery suspect.
Authorities say 28-year-old Mustafa Sheffield of Newark entered the store Monday afternoon and ordered the owner to fill a backpack with money and gold while threatening to shoot the owner’s family.
Authorities say the shop owner, whose name was not disclosed, brandished his own gun and shot the suspect, who died at a hospital from a single gunshot wound.
No other injuries were reported in the robbery.
“No charges have been filed so far, but authorities say it’s likely that the matter will be reviewed by an Essex County grand jury,” according to the Associated Press.
Unless there is additional evidence not reported by the AP, the incident appears to be a clear-cut case of self-defense.

I'm betting that someone involved in the writing of this story doesn't know the meaning of the word "brandished"...because it sounds to my like the good guy didn't waste time showing off and waving his shiny piece around. He drew, aimed and pulled the trigger. Nice shot, Poot.
I say not only no charges...but a medal, the key to the city awarded by the Mayor and a small statue in the city center (yeah, yeah...I know...it's NJ).

This really flys in the face of what Pierce Morgan said. He made the statement that there wasn't a single instance of a gun stopping any violence.
So I guess this is number one.

I only use the word brandish when I know there are pirates involved and swashbuckling and matey and possibly a scalawag and at least one rapscallion.

If I had written the story, I would have used the word "produced."
As in "I first produced me pistol, and then produced me rapier."
Yes, I know it is from an Irish ditty from olden times, but it adds a much-needed touch of class to a story involving someone named Mustafah, and I would let the reader use his imagination as to what producing the pistol lead to while I described the shot placement.
What can I say? I have the Irish love of language...

The fine, upstanding late citizen's Facebook page. He was clearly a pillar of the community.

I guess if you're gonna get shot at, two pair of underwear come in handy...

Interestingly he had tatoos on his chest of perfect shot placement.

Yes. Not only is that a certified classic youtube video---at least to me, since I love almost any version of that song---but it is just the tip of the iceberg of lego (music) videos. Who knew there was a whole genre?
Don't go looking, though...You'll be watching for hours, LOL.

I have to admit I had to google that to figure out what that meant. Good one Swampy. You are just way cool and keep us old folk up to date.

Here's another surprise...The youtube Accents Challenge. Pretty popular. People from all over answer questions about how to pronounce and then do pronounce a set of words and do other stuff to demonstrate their accents and vocabulary... This girl from Donegal in the north of Ireland is very easy to understand right off. Compared to some other Irish I've met, she has no accent, and no unusual cadence :wink...Plus she's cute and has a good sense of humor :-)...Make sure you listen at least through 1:20 or so, LOL
Pretty sure ol' Mustafa had nothing to say worth listening to...

No, but saying "aluminium" might be. The fact that she thinks Steven King is still worth reading doesn't help either.
Hey....I'm just an old married guy.

When my son was around 12 or 13 years old we were watching a show on Discovery (or History, or Science or NatGeo, or...) about hybridized animals. They were doing a segment on Napoleon Dynamite's favorite animal....the Liger...when my son pondered out loud, "I wonder how they get the two different species to mate?" Being in knee-jerk smart-azz mode I responded, "They just put on a Barry White album and let nature take its course." He looked at me like I had 3 heads, not having any clue what I was talking about. So later on I found some videos of movie scenes where some schmoe is trying to seduce a woman with Barry's voice booming from the stereo, and he seemed to sort of get it.
Fast forward a couple of months and we're standing on the bank of one of the local lake's feeder creeks angling for catfish, or whatever. As it turns out it was also needlenose gar spawning season, and there was a constant parade of pairs of gar swimming slowly by the bank, side-by-side in their ancient courtship ritual. After this went on for a little bit I looked over at my son, who was standing there bobbing his head back-and-forth as though listening to some music I couldn't hear. I asked him what he was doing, to which he instantly replied, "I've got a Barry White tune stuck in my head."
Yeah, he got it. :wink

Napolean Dynamite is on satellite these days, btw. As a matter of fact, I should have it scheduled to record tonight, I think.
