Exercising The Right
Gated Community
MySanAntonio.com reported on April 22 out of San Antonio that a would-be car-jacker followed his intended victim into his garage in “The Jax,” an affluent gated community that has both apartments and town houses in it. The victim lived in a town house that had its own garage, and as the man was pulling his car into the garage, an armed intruder ran alongside the car and began violently attacking the driver. Police say the assailant, who was not identified, began pistol-whipping the driver, but the victim was able to reach a firearm that he had stashed nearby and open fire on the suspect, seriously wounding him.
The badly injured driver called 911 to report what happened, and the suspect was found dead when police arrived. The driver was treated for a gash above his right eye, and an officer at the scene said that it appeared the man’s actions were justified under the law. A neighbor told MySanAntonio.com that he was asleep when he heard yelling followed by the sound of a gun firing. Dorothy Gonzales told MySanAntonio.com that she’s lived at The Jax for about four years and has repeatedly complained about what she thought was inadequate security. The gate to enter the community requires a code to be entered, but the gate sometimes gets stuck, leaving it wide open for anyone to enter. She said thieves broke into her car twice last year, about two months apart. Gonzales told MySanAntonio.com that “there are a lot of break-ins,” but “nothing that bad” as what happened overnight, and she said she plans to talk to management about the matter again.
Pizza Shop Employee
News5, the ABC affiliate in Cleveland, reported on April 20 about an employee who refused to be a helpless victim. The incident unfolded at a Cleveland-area pizza shop late at night when three men wearing masks barged into the shop and demanded that the employees inside turn over all of the money.
