Here, allow me:

Two men walking their French bulldog after a visit to Miami’s Midtown Miami shopping center were confronted in broad daylight by an out-of-town robber with a long rap sheet. All three men, it turns out, were armed.

When the tussle and gunfight stopped Monday evening, the armed robber had been shot 11 times. One of the robbery victims was shot in the shoulder. The third man survived shaken, but unscathed. The manager of the nearby PetSmart agreed to take the French bulldog overnight as police investigated the shooting outside the popular shopping center.

Monday evening’s shooting at Midtown unfolded outside a parking garage on the 3100 block of North Miami Avenue. The two men walking their dog live in the area, and were returning home when they were confronted by Otis Brown, 38, of Leigh Acres, who tried to rob them.

According to a source, Brown and one of the men began grappling. The other man, who was legally armed with a Glock, hid briefly behind a post and heard his friend get shot in the shoulder. He emerged from behind the post and exchanged gunfire with Brown, who was hit 11 times.

The dog ran off, but was later rescued. The robbery victims both had their weapons legally, and are not expected to face charges. Investigators believe they acted in self-defense.

Brown, state records show, has done four stints in prison since 2000 on convictions including robbery, grand theft and carrying a concealed firearm. He was most recently released from prison in April 2020, after serving four years for cocaine possession. It was unclear Tuesday why Brown was in Miami.

Because they're liars.

They don't give a shit about victims of gun crime; you can tell because every single proposal to limit guns would affect only law-abiding citizens. Not a damn one of them has ever offered to go to high-crime neighborhoods to disarm criminals.

They want people disarmed and unable to resist leftist tyranny.
