PHILADELPHIA, MI — A man is behind bars after his attempted armed robbery went wildly wrong, resulting in the death of two innocent people.

While trying to rob a convenience store, Robert Jackson reportedly threatened the clerk. He was then confronted by an armed citizen, who shot him. Jackson replied by shooting the clerk and an armed citizen multiple times, killing them. On top of that, he wounded another.

And on top of that, he was released from jail early to make this all happen.

As the Clarion Ledger reports:

A Jackson man who was released from prison early is facing capital murder charges after authorities say he killed two people in a weekend convenient store robbery in Philadelphia.

Robert Leon Jackson, 30, of 224 Manship St., has been charged with two counts of capital murder, one count of attempted murder, two counts of aggravated assault and one count of a felon in possession of a firearm and is being held without bond, according to the Neshoba Democrat.

Cashier Megan Staats and customer Jeremy Apperson were shot and killed. A third man was injured. According to police, Jackson was the robbing the store when he was shot by Apperson or someone else at the store.

Samantha Apperson said Jackson pointed a gun at her, and Jeremy Apperson pulled his pistol to defend her. Samantha Apperson says Jackson shot her husband several times. Jackson was captured at a nearby hotel. Mississippi Department of Corrections records show Jackson was sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2012 for robbing a furniture store. He was released in January on earned release supervision.

Assuming all the facts are in order, how, in any way, does society benefit from warehousing this guy for the next umpteenth years?

I got the perfect solution, auction them off to the guys who want a real live target to try new loads on instead of having to make or buy gluten, kill two birds with one shot.

Save us tax payers money too simple

 

[@thewheels]

Agree with thread title and stress this fact to my wife almost weekly.

Side note: The Clarion Ledger writer is a bit confused. The article title states it was a C store in Mississippi and the article itself in Philly.

 

[Pale Rider]

Philadelphia is a city in and the county seat of Neshoba County, Mississippi, United States. The population was 7,477 at the 2010 census.

So many proven scumbags.
So much available gravity.

Can we put these things together for the benefit of the nation?

Truth of the matter is the last man to put rounds on target is usually the winner not always the first man on target.

Problem is the public has become such bleeding hearts they believe that everyone is capable of being rehabilitated and no one deserves to be held for their actions. Good guy kills a bad guy, or shoots more than once, and now they're a vigilante executioner.

 

[HighlandLofts]

If the courtesans the prison system doesn't want to fulfill their job, some of us in society will.

I'm sure this piece of shit is the good son who just turned his life around and got caught up in the wrong crowd, oh wait a minute, he was by himself.


So this story tells me that Pennsylvania swaps people on parole with Mississippi.

Washington state swaps people on parole with Texas, Oklahoma and a couple of other states.

The black guy that walked in to a restaurant a few years back and shot & killed for cops in Lakewood Wa. Was here on parole from Oklahoma if I remember right.
Business as usual, now he is Pennsylvania's problem.

I once read an article that asked the question: What does a person do after they're shot?

Answer: They continue doing whatever they were doing before they were shot (provided that they were not hit in a one-hit stop anatomical structure).

Teaching point: Always stay on target with your finger on the trigger until the threat is stopped.

Not much different than a fist fight. Never throw one punch and expect it to be over. Always follow up with counter punches and don't stop until the threat is neutralized.

Staying on target, finger on the trigger doing what?

If you pulled the trigger, why did you stop? I'm not sure I'm stopping except to reload! Of I ever (heaven forbid) have the need! There is no such thing as excessive force once you shoot. Only reason I would pull my sights from the target would be to fix them upon another threat.

Reminds me of one tactical class I was at and there was an individual who had to do this drill, and when he pulled his firearm and began shooting, he kept going until empty, dropped his Mag and reloaded in a blink of an eye! It was a reminder of what is "good practice"... Because practice makes perfect!

Just saying... Lol

Yep! Spot on... Never stop to admire your work!

And continuing to fire if necessary.

A bad guy on the ground, no longer attempting to advance or reacquire a weapon, is no longer a threat. Sure, they can become a threat...again. But, continuing to fire on a downed opponent, if not needed, will eventually require too much post-event explaining.

Shoot vs no-shoot decision making must be part of your mindset and training. Fear of what happens after an engagement must not govern your actions. But, you should also know when to continue applying maximum defensive violence and when to continue to monitor the situation in a firearm ready position.
