"I safely fired a round into the air"..

LLLLOOL.

At first you start to feel for this woman trying to help protect herself and coworkers, till you read the "I safely fired a round" business. Then you shake your head..

Waffle House waitress loses job after firing gun during robbery

 

[WileyX585]

You "safely" fired a round into the air? OK, where did that round land? How do you know it was safe? In what context can you ever say a round fired into the air is "safe"? Second, if they were getting into their vehicle, they are no longer a threat. Once they are out of that door, let em go. Loose $200 keep your life. It's not about being a bad ass, it's about going home at the end of the day.

I'm sorry but you screwed up.

"I safely fired a round into the ground" I could buy. Still a dumbass idea, but at least plausibly safe.

In the air ? Maybe in the desert with 20 mile visibility. Unless you can narrow down the location that bullet ended up in, and the area you narrowed it down to had *nothing* you would care if it got shot in it.....

Hollywood gun logic strikes again.

Yeah she's been watching too many Action movies

Dumb move on her part.

Police said they left after another waitress gave them $200.

She went to her car to retrieve her gun, 1st mistake. Then she says: “I was in fear for my life, my co-workers’ lives, and I did what I thought was right”, 2nd mistake (just let them leave!!). Then she says: “I safely fired a round in the air in an attempt to scare the robbers who were in the process of getting in their vehicle" 3rd mistake (for so many reasons!!).

Like I said: !!

I still love eating at the Waffle House though. Cincinnati. And by Hurstburne Lane in Louisville too.

Only thing is that now, I'm carrying...

If they are leaving let them leave. If they come back shoot them not the air. The air was not robbing you. I'm surprised she won't face charges. In NYS we would for sure.

 

[Mr. terzmo]

What about joey bydoon who ,in case of an intruder.."fire a couple rounds out the window,that'll scare them away" Where do they go? She should use the Bydoon defense

My philosophy is that they should never know your armed. If they catch a glimpse of your weapon before they die, you need to work on your deployment...

You do not carry a weapon to scare or intimidate people, you carry it to stop them if they are an imminent threat. Once they present that threat, the faster they are stopped, the less dead you will get. Before they present that thread, you have no justification to fire at all. The fact that you are armed, and they don't know it, is a tactical advantage that you do not want to give up in the hope that they change their mind..

What in the hell is with all of these GD Go Fund me Accounts?

You screwed up and now you want others to pay for your stupidity? Fuck off. These are the people that I wish would be charged with crimes. This idiot fired a shot in the air because she is an idiot. She deserves jail time, not a Go Fund Me account.

What the fuck is wrong with people? Is she so stupid that she does not understand the concept of what goes up, must come down. Stupid people with guns really pisses me off! I hate people! Especially ugly ones!

1. Actually the real stupid ones are the ones who contribute to her "go fund me" page.
2. She's an idiot who should not even own a gun.
3. She gets fired (lucky that's all that happened to her!!), then she wants people to give her money!! Get another job asshole!!
4. I hate people too!!
5. YES... she is ugly!!
6. I'm done!!!!!

(drops mic!!)

 

[WileyX585]

I honestly can't believe this....

 

[Cooolone]

She went to retrieve Her firearm after the fact and as the robbery perpetrators were fleeing, fired a round into the air, must have got their attention because the then scurried off. Lol... Yeah HollywEEd is right, discharge your gun and the bad guy will stop in his tracks, throw his hands in the air and give up nicely!

Yeah, brains are strong in this one! Add to it the sobbing back story, 3 kids, disabled husband at home.

Well, maybe if she had it with her instead of it sitting in a car, it would have made a world of difference. But this lunatic needs more help than that go fund me can ever do. If she doesn't at least face reckless endangerment charges I'd be surprised. Mental midget...

 

[MoMan]

The comments posted here from her GFM page are classic!!
I especially like the one that says: "For the greater good of others, you did the right thing"!!

How about the dimwit that is asking Waffle House to either offer her a $100k severance, or her job back!! Yeah, that's probably not going to happen!!

Imagine....Someone nearby fires a rd into the air during a July 4 celebration. It's the only shot fired. It comes down and hits you, tearing a channel through the flesh of your arm. You are armed. You pull your gun and aim it at the person who fired the gun, who still has the gun drawn and waves it around, muzzle up. You fire and kill the shooter, feeling a threat to your life. Are you protected by law? I started a thread asking this question.
