Armed Good Samaritan Puts Quick End to Suspect’s Robbery Attempt

Police say a man who allegedly pistol-whipped an employee at a dollar store during an armed robbery in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, last week is in jail thanks to the actions of an armed good Samaritan.
[ … ]
A man approached him and asked to be let into the store, claiming he had left his phone inside, police said.
According to authorities, the man, who was identified as 20-year-old Nicolas Richard Lee Deas, did not leave his phone in the store but intended to rob it — which police say he did.
Police said Deas, who was allegedly carrying a stolen handgun, had an accomplice, and both of them entered the store together.
Per officers, Deas ordered the employee to the store’s safe at gunpoint and told him, “Give me the money or I will kill you.”
The employee complied with the order and offered up $1,200 from the safe. Police said he was pistol-whipped multiple times in the back, neck and arm.
The commotion was apparently loud enough that it roused the attention of a business owner who was in close proximity.
The man, who was armed, ran toward the situation, entered the store and drew his gun on Deas, police said.
No shots were fired, but the good Samaritan, whose name has not been released, held the suspect at gunpoint until officers could come and make an arrest – which they did.
According to the report, the clerk was closing the store. This is perfect timing for a robbery, and makes the request suspicious. The clerk should always have a firearm and he (or she) should have unholstered it at that very moment. The decision to allow the boy back into the store was an error. I’ll venture that it won’t be made again.
It’s a shame this kid wasn’t put out of our misery because the OT requirement that he be either executed or made a slave to the offended until all debts were repaid in multiples, won’t be followed. Instead, the state will put him inside a cage with other hardened criminals, pretend they have the power to rehabilitate him, and pay for his housing, food and medical care for several decades.
Some of us have feral animals to deal with in survival situations, some have two-legged threats, and some have both.

The state will only incarcerate him if he is White.
If the perp is black, he be a good boy who dindunuffins and his actions were the result of systemic racism. The perp will undoubtedly get a good jewish lawyer who will make sure the perp will not only never see jail time, but will sue the Good Samaritan for the violation of his clients ‘civil rights’ , and maybe even the business owner. And depending upon the venue, may well win.
Our good host here is correct; the actual LAW will not be followed; only God can make LAW, man made stuff is merely statute. God’s Law says that there are only two punishments – execution for what we would call capital crimes like murder and kidnapping , [and homosexuality I might add…] and restitution for property crimes. Plus, in this case, a little pistol whipping . Until the Law is followed, society will continue to devolve.

Ft. Lauderdale is a toilet. I got there in ’85, first thing I found out was to be very afraid of the cops.
