Walmart kidnapping/ murder suspect apprehended, thanks to armed citizen
By Phil Shiflet
The nation's cable news channels were filled late last week with reports about the kidnapping of a 19 year-old Walmart clerk as she walked to her car at the outer limits of a deserted Walmart parking lot Wednesday, January 19.
The kidnapping of Megan Holden was caught on the store's video surveillance cameras (which, incidentally, did nothing to deter the kidnapper or prevent the crime).
As FOXNews reported Friday, Holden's body was discovered in a ditch alongside a highway in western Texas. Police said she was killed at the hands of a man who went on a multistate crime spree before he turned up Friday at an Arizona hospital with a gunshot wound.
And so we see how a bad man came to be captured...
From the FOX story:
- "He said, 'This is robbery, I want all the money in the cash register,"'
retired New York City firefighter Richie Chapman said. "And as he said that,
he drew a weapon from underneath his shirt, and I drew and fired."
Too bad 19 year-old Megan Holden didn't have a gun. Maybe she could have protected herself when she was attacked in the parking lot after work by a troll who drove her out of town in her own vehicle, and then shot her to death.
Too bad you have to be 21 to buy a handgun.
Too bad you have to be 21 to get a concealed carry permit.
Too bad the government failed to protect Leann after it threw her right to
keep and bear arms in the toilet.
Too bad the bad people don't play by the rules.
Too bad, too bad, too bad...
The only light in this incident is it shows how effective a gun in the hands
of a law-abiding citizen can be, and how ineffective laws that disarm good
men, and young women are.
With out that gas station operator being armed, this violent thug would
still be the subject of an 'Amber Alert' instead of under arrest for murder.
