Jamaican man shoots AK47 wielding robber in Florida

https://www.newsweek.com/florida-man-guns-down-armed-robber-1474064

Play the video "Victim Of Attempted Robbery Shots, Kills Assault Rifle Wielding Thief" and then ask yourself why this NRA member. his girlfriend and their child are living in a van.

Let me be clear - I am on his side in defending hid life and the lives of his family but here is a proud NRA Jamaican man living in a vehicle with his jewelry.
Sometimes our priorities are truly fucked up.

This is a man who grew up in inner-city Kingston - he is not afraid of an AK47.
His description of the encounter is both tragic and funny.
