This story epitomizes the main reason why folks are so eager to enforce their constitutional rights to bear arms. And no matter what your take on the topic may be, after you hear about this story, you best believe that the would-be victim was glad that he took advantage of his rights.

The AJC reports:

A robbery suspect was shot and killed by his intended victim outside an East Atlanta Village bar late Wednesday, Atlanta police said Thursday.

Atlanta police identified the slain man as Jamarcus Usher, 29, of the Decatur area.

Police do not believe the shooting has any connection to the recent high-profile killing at a bar on Memorial Drive. The suspected robber carried a Colt .40-caliber handgun, while the gun that killed bar worker John Henderson was a 9mm, Atlanta police Detective Michael Willis said.

The killing Wednesday comes a week after Henderson’s murder in another popular hangout about two miles away, Standard Food & Spirits, sparked an outpouring of community support and galvanized grassroots efforts to improve public safety by some who say the city is becoming more dangerous.

It’s just sad to hear about stuff like this happen and it’s sad to see young Black males continue to put other people in the always un-wanted position to-kill or be-killed.  The punk pictured above learned his lesson and paid the ultimate price.
