A Sporty Night in Lafayette

[Kirk Freeman]

Sporty time in Lafayette last night when a liquor store downtown got hit.

I was home, but in the basement reloading. This place is close to me but I don't frequent it (no hipster/craft beer).

Store clerk fires 2 shots after battery

"The clerk fired one shot while on the ground and another from a kneeling position as the four fled in a car parked outside the liquor store."

Umm, isn't that a no-no?

That is what I was thinking .....

Based on the info presented and the picture it paints in my mind...I don't vote to convict the store clerk.

I wouldn't either .....

I don't think the prosecutor is going to loose any sleep thinking of charges to draw up...

Point taken.

This town (Lafayette) has gotten scary in the last few years. We're now either North Indy or South Chicago...take your pick. Another reason I ccw every day here now.

We should all gear-up and just wait near the Marathon station at 9th and Ferry for something interesting to happen.

Don't forget Marathon at Earl and State. Across from 4G.

Invoking Kirk's Nth Law of the Internet, (for some value of "N" that I forget), in Texas stopping the imminent commission of robbery is one justification for the use of deadly force, and after you drill down through the legal definitions, commission of robbery seems to include immediate flight afterwards. I would not count on a prosecutor including fleeing in a car as part of immediate flight, but if Indiana has similar elements to robbery and self-defense/defense of another, and a sympathetic prosecutor, the clerk may come out OK.

Of course the linked article doesn't actually mention "robbery", just "battery" and theft, but those would seem to be elements of robbery as well.

Is it still considered a stakeout if everyone is sitting lawn chairs in plain view and eating popcorn?

Popcorn.............Donuts, does it really matter?

If you hang out by the dumpster long enough, they may even throw out some old sandwiches.

OR, better idea, we all go to Kirk Freeman's house, which is only 27 blocks away from there, and clean guns. After gun cleaning, reloading and general house cleaning, we hang out in the dining room and play Fortress America and drink craft beer while rhino cooks for us.

And it's on again...

So a revolver would not have been enough gun with four thugs.

I am all for this idea provided I get dibs on the hall closet.
