FORT WORTH, Texas -
A would-be robber was shot dead by a person with a concealed handgun license outside a Metro PCS store in the 7400 block of Wichita St. in Ft. Worth on Tuesday afternoon.
Investigators say Desmond Paige, 20, tried to rob a man using Craigslist. The would-be victim brought his gun to the sale just in case.
The man with the CHL was shot in the arm and the hand by the robber, but Paige was shot multiple times in the chest.
Paige died at the scene.
"When I got over to him I saw that he was bleeding out of his mouth and his chest. So I kneeled down next to him just to say you know hey I'm here you know, hold on. The ambulance and police are coming," said one witness.
Paige claimed on Cragslist he had a cell phone to sell. Police said when Paige tried to rob the man, the man pulled his gun and shot Paige several times.
Paige was recently released from prison after serving time for a violent crime and was on parole.

While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

This is why the USA needs more surveillance cameras There really is no point shooting robbers dead if you don't get a clip for YouTube.

Less of a burden on society now.
Had just left jail, had somehow managed to get his hands on a gun, attempted to rob someone, and shot that person. I'm not feeling an ounce of sympathy for his demise. He dug his own grave.
Coincidentally, this really highlights what control should really be targetting. A recently released criminal for a violent crime managed to quickly get his hands on a gun. That's what needs to be stopped, instead of continually writing laws that only target people who follow the law.

Yeah, I did, but it doesn't say who shot first and doesn't put any context on this. Unless he was planning to take stuff off the corpse.

I would like to think it's a little more complicated than that, like if someone is caught speeding I don't think they should have to die. Actually the only time I'm OK with criminals dying is from self-defense from the victim or during warfare.

I don't particularly accept an end result of dying as "good", but in cases like this as "acceptable".

How on earth could that possibly matter? Are we to imagine that this convicted criminal unfortunate victim of the system brought a gun along in his planned attempt to rob somebody redress through other means the inherently unfair wealth imbalance in this country, but did not actually pull it out until the victim NRA-loving, Republican-voting oppressor pulled his own?
Trying to rob someone without some sort of potential for violence in the face of non-compliance just results in the would-be victim wandering off. Of course the guy had his gun out. It doesn't matter at that point who shot first.

I'm generally against people having guns, but that he was shot was good. Not sure if he deserved death, but the would-be victim certainly hasn't done anything wrong.

Yeah, don't be stupid! Everyone knows that all criminals deserve death! I mean, if you disagree then that just tells us you've broken the law in the past and should be shot!

No sympathy for this worthless piece of criminal trash whatsoever.
He was prepared to use a gun to commit a crime, so as far as I'm concerned he got what he deserved.
Also society benefits as well - no more expenses to keep him in jail, and zero percent chance of him re-offending.
Sounds harsh I know, I just think the law is far to soft.

It is always fun when you can't tell the Christians from the atheists in a thread because they are both wallowing in their love of killing people because of reasons. As Christ said "shoot a melon-fether because he gets away with that cash, yo".

I've little use for anything Christ may or may not have said, but I generally don't think it's wise to trust in the benevolent intentions of a felon holding a gun on you.
