Yes it's from Huffpost again. I'll pick "politics" as we know somebody will turn it into such.


Woman, 65, Singlehandedly Stops 5 Masked Thugs From Robbing Her Pawn Shop (VIDEO)
When five masked thugs attempted to rob a southern California pawn shop earlier this week, they expected it to be easy picking.

But the 65-year-old woman who owned the shop had a different idea. She scared them off by firing two rounds at the burglars with a handgun set aside for such occasions.

The attempted heist occurred Sunday at Continental Jewelry and Pawn Shop in Garden Grove, Calif., when the men walked into the store wearing masks and hoods, KCAL-TV reported.

At least two of the men were armed with guns and three of the men were also carrying pillow cases, according to Lt. Jeff Nightengale of the Garden Grove police department.

“They demanded everyone get down on the ground. They asked for valuables inside the store,” Nightengale said.

But the woman, whose name has not been released, wasn't going to give up any merchandise without a fight.

Surveillance video of the attempted crime show the men rushing to the front of the counter and pointing handguns at the clerks and a customer.

After the woman fires the shots, the men can be seen racing back to the door, fighting to get out as the woman runs after them.

The SUV left before three of the suspects made it back inside the vehicle, The Los Angeles Times reported.

Police said those suspects were picked up about a block away and added nothing was taken from the store and no one was hurt, KTLA-TV reported.

The woman's efforts to thwart the robbery aren't the only case of a senior citizen doing what it takes to stop a crime.

Otilia Martins, an 80-year-old grandmother in New Bedford, Mass., recently tried to stop two men from robbing her son-in-law's market by hurling mangoes and a bag of apples at the suspect with the gun.

During the robbery, one of the men hit Martins, a Portuguese immigrant, with the gun. But despite the laceration, she refused to go to the hospital to have her injuries treated.

I don't get it. Huff Po is well known as a Godless, hate the truth, left wing page. Why have they posted a positive article on gun ownership?

Why does it matter what color they were, unless you are tasked to look for them? They were criminals. Crime is color blind.

True but in opening the link, I already knew what I was going to see before I even clicked on it based on the location of the crime.

I didn't either. I always get the extreme right commenting, if it's from Huff-post, about the source being biased (like it changes anything factual about the story). Personally, I hate that she missed, but the follow up said one was shot in another attempted robbery-they were slow learners.

Because they are not in it for the faith like Media Matters and Moveon.org. They don't have a bottomless pit of funding and they need to stay in business by making money. And they only way that will happen is if they make some attempt at legitimacy.

How Ironic that they are resortig to capitalism in order to bring it down.
