Armed Robber Confronts Dollar Store Clerk With Gun, Clerk Shoots Him Dead — The Robbers' Siblings Are Angry

[DefiantAmerica] A 23-year-old Ohio man was shot and killed while trying to rob a Dollar General store at gunpoint.

Roosevelt Rappley entered the Dayton-area store, produced a firearm, and started demanding money. One of the store clerks was a concealed carry permit holder and was legally armed. Once the suspect pointed his weapon at this clerk, he drew his own weapon and fired, striking the subject in the chest.

Rappley returned fire, hitting no one, before stumbling outside and collapsing. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The clerk placed a 9-1-1 call.

"He pointed a gun at me," the caller said. "I had a firearm on me. I pulled my firearm and I shot him in self-defense."

According to police, witnesses confirmed that the assailant pointed his weapon at the clerk, prompting him to draw and fire, fearing for his life.

Shortly after the failed robbery attempt, two members of Rappley’s family spoke with news hounds outside the store where he was shot and killed. Their thoughts: it is the fault of the clerk for being legally armed and acting in self-defense.

Rappley’s sister went on record as saying that even though her brother was wrong...it was all the clerk’s fault. Here is what she said:

"He’s got some responsibility, but not all. [Right is] right and wrong is wrong. That was wrong for that clerk to shoot my brother in the chest. Yes, he’s robbing them. OH, WELL (emphasis by the speaker)! Call the police, that’s what you’re supposed to do. You’re not supposed to take matters into your own hands."

Sounds kinda like the typical "Not my Baby" line we too frequently hear.

Interesting to note:
This happen back Oct. 2019, and it seems the DA for "Social/Racial Justice" political reasons did not just determine it was a justified shoot based on the police reports and video. He used the Grand Jury to Cover His A$$.

Given the area it might have headed off a ~~RIOT/LOOTING~~ peaceful protest with wealth redistribution.

#5 ^ Mob rule in Dayton isn't a thing, yet. You might remember, in 2019 it was Dayton cops running towards the shooter.

#6 Maybe the siblings should tell their other siblings to find new lines of "work".

#7 Armed robbery can’t be very lucrative with everybody using debit cards. Criminals need to see the value of staying in school in hopes of becoming politicians.

#10 As others have said, the only difference between armed robbery and murder is trigger pressure.
