Tragic but an innocent pizza delivery guy survived

Due process is something that applies to how the state acts, with its luxury of time and deliberation. There can't be due process, per se, in a fight for survival. That is something for the aftermath.
 
Another pizza guy hold-up...

In my metro area last week, a armed citizen(pizza guy) smoke-checked a violent robber.
The crook had a large knife & moved to rob the delivery driver at a low-end hotel.
The deceased subject had a long, long history of violent crime.
The police investigation is still under way but a PD media affairs rep said that any criminal charges were unlikely.

ClydeFrog, the OP incident was covered by myFOXorlando.com - are you sure this was not the same incident? (West Melbourne)
 
Free and easy way to support the Pizza Delivery driver

As noted in a post above, I used the following link to provide polite and proactive support of this pizza delivery driver back to Dominos management.

If you are so inclined please consider.

Glenn,
Thanks for the ok to post the link.

More details in the case -

Be sure to read both pages, he may not lose his job because it was an independent Domino's and not a company owned store.

Many employers have long banned guns from the workplace as part of a violence-prevention strategy, but those policies routinely are being tested as states pass laws making it easier for residents to carry concealed guns...

Food-delivery employees are sometimes viewed as targets by criminals because the latter know they’re carrying money and food. And it’s often later in the evening.

Let's hope for the sake of the people do this kind of work that concealed carry becomes an accepted option.


Arthur Hayhoe of the Florida Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, said his position is that “guns and business don’t mix.” Hayhoe is an outspoken critic of the National Rifle Association.

Note the standard absurd comment from the representative of the Antis.

Absolutely right. That is why self defense is not vigilante action, something we have ranted about here several times when such claims are made. Nor is it taking the law into one's own hands.
 
Mistake...

Yes, I was thrown by the AZ part & the Fox 35 news station in Orlando FL(which is Lake Mary, ;) )
BTW; the 54 year old pizza guy was a ex-West Melbourne cop fired years ago for using office phones to call psychic hotlines.
You can't make this stuff up. :rolleyes:
He had a valid W carry license; www.mylicensesite.com .
He sued the city & PD then got approx $296,000.00 in a legal settlement.
He was also acting as a independent contractor & not a formal Dominos Pizza employee. The pizza driver was not subject to corp SOPs or policy.
It's unknown yet what type of pistol the driver used.

BTW; I agree with the Florida prison bit. A young Orlando cop was shot in the lower torso while conducting a traffic stop. The subject fled but was later captured. He too had a long history of convictions & violent acts.
The court systems & corrections need to deal with this mess.
