Florida Man, 71, Shoots at Alleged Robbers at Internet Cafe

Two teens were shot and injured by a 71-year-old central Florida man who refused to stand by while the young men allegedly tried to rob an Internet café.

Samuel Williams was sitting in the Palms Internet Cafe in Ocala, Fla., on Friday night when two men, later identified as Davis G. Dawkins, 19, and Duwayne Henderson, also 19, allegedly stormed in brandishing a handgun and a baseball bat.

"Don't none of you [expletives] move," one of the teens reportedly yelled at the café patrons.

In a surveillance video released by the police department, Williams, who is seated at a computer in the corner of the café, is seen standing up and pulling out a .380-caliber handgun shortly after the two men are apparently seen storming into the café and swinging a bat at something off screen.

He did have a permit to CCW, felt that he was threatened, and justified SYG.

That's where SYG is correctly applied.

He did have a CCP and the DA has said it was a justified shooting and that he anticipates no charges being filed.
Perfect example of SYG.
