John Lovell is Alive Today

Blasphemes: John Lovell is Alive Today

Two armed men barged into a Subway Sandwich shop shortly after 11 p.m., demanding money from the employee, behind the counter. When they tried to force John Lovell - the lone customer, age 71, into the bathroom, he pulled out a gun and shot both men, police said.

Donicio Arrindell, 22, was shot in the head and later died at the hospital. Fredrick Gadson, 21, was shot in the chest and ran from the Subway, but police found him in hiding in some bushes on the property of a nearby BankAtlantic.

Lovell, 71. Police said he had a concealed weapons permit. Retired US Marine.

Lovell's neighbor said he made the right decision.

"He did the right thing," said Wendi Hill. "I mean, I was glad that it was them that got shot and not him."

The dead criminal's grandma told Local 10 News that Lovell was wrong for pulling the trigger. "He should not have taken the law in his hands," said Rosa Jones, again, Gadson's (the perp who is still living via ventilator) grandmother. Her husband, (not Gadson's grandfather? It's a little vague with the details...) Ivory Jones, also condemned the media for its portrayal of Lovell's actions. "I don't condone what they did, (but) I definitely don't condone the news people making him out to seem like they're making a hero out of this man because he shot somebody down," he said.

Police said Lovell, the retired Marine, wouldn't be charged.

As stated in the SCOTUS decision - a gun levels the playing field - a victim has a chance against their aggressors. Where else does a 71 year old have a chance against two gun wielding 20 year old? How much imagination does it take to imagine reversing this narrative - an employee and 71 year old customer are found dead in a Subway bathroom? Not much, right?

And how about the criminal being the "victim" here? That sickens me. John Lovell isn't a vigilante. He defended his life. Now he's alive. Simple.

And yes, I have rewritten this story, because the first time I read it - it was very anti John Lovell. The fact John is alive was on the bottom of the story, and the Grandma statement was on the masthead of the story. Totally bogus.

In fact, there's even a picture of the perp and his grandma complaining into a microphone.(link)

Unbelievable.

that is f'ing hilarious, I don't like to see senior citizens walking around with guns (or anyone for that matter), but a story like that is just awesome.

Concealed carry saves lives.

13 independent studies estimate that guns are used by every day citizens to stop crime between 800,000 and 2.5 million times every year.

It would never ever happen, but I would be interested in seeing gun education made mandatory in public schooling. My logic goes that if we can educate future generations on how to properly handle a weapon, then perhaps that generation won't have the ridiculous fear of them that seems to be present in everything.

I wonder if Rosa would feel better if a cop had shot her grandbaby....oh yeah she would then she could sue the city for it...

Now if that bitch had been in the Subway and some other punkass thugs had been robbing it and a man had shot them saving her wallet she'd have been praising him as a hero fucking hypocritical ho bag....
