July 18, 201214 yr [video=youtube_share;7q8rTGafFP0]http://youtu.be/7q8rTGafFP0 OCALA - The Internet cafe patron who shot and injured two men as they tried to rob the business will likely not face any criminal charges. “Based on what I have seen and what I know at this time, I don't anticipate filing any charges,” said Bill Gladson of the State Attorney's Office for 5th Judicial Circuit. Gladson said he has reviewed the security surveillance video from the cafe. While he still awaits final reports from the Marion County Sheriff's Office, he said the shooting appeared justified. Samuel Williams, 71, who fired the shots, has a concealed weapons permit, according to the Sheriff's Office. Under Florida law, a person is allowed to use deadly force if he or she fears death or serious injury to themselves or others. As long as the person isn't committing a crime and is in a place where he or she has a right to be, they are considered to be acting within the law. Charges unlikely against man who shot robbers
July 18, 201214 yr Glad there will be no charges, the shots he appeared to take as the person ran out the door might have led him into some trouble if they had decided to charge him. Good for him.
July 18, 201214 yr I give Grandpa credit, he kept after them, good for him. He seemed to make sure that he was careful with his shots and not just going all gun hoe after the criminals. How about they guy that is running beside grandpa like he is his side kick, lol.

How about they guy that is running beside grandpa like he is his side kick, lol. I was laughing about that too! Like he's saying, "WHAT?!? YOU DON'T WANT NONE OF THIS OLD GUY!"
July 18, 201214 yr What's also cool is that a 71 year old guy was hanging out in an Internet Cafe. That and shooting bad guys will keep him young.
July 18, 201214 yr This was a very serious incident but I couldn't help but laugh. I felt as though Mr. Williams was excited that he finally got to shoot at someone. I'm a gun advocate so don't take this the wrong way, just his body language, you could tell he was looking out for others but it just seemed like he was excited/glad he finally got to shoot someone. Glad everyone(not including the robbers) ended up ok.
July 18, 201214 yr With neither perp seemingly suffering life threatening injuries, I feel like it's more than fine to laugh at these two idiots getting what's coming to them from this old man. Imbeciles.
July 18, 201214 yr Instant Message from Mr.Williams Facebook account... Mr. Williams: Hey, I'll plow your fields for you Ms. Johnson Ms. Johnson: I wasn't talking about Farmville Mr. Willaims: Neither was I...hold on, some hoodlums just walked in...BRB Ms. Johnson: Everything OK? Mr. Williams: It is now, now when can I get at them fields Edited July 18, 201214 yr by spindoc
July 18, 201214 yr Combination internet cafe and shooting range franchises that cater to senior citizens..... I see a new marketplace that needs some good entrepreneurs.
July 18, 201214 yr I have no issue with what he did but isn't it problematic from a legal sense that he continues to fire rounds as they are running out of the store? The one guy had fallen and was laying in a prone position and he squeezed off another round. Just curious.

The one guy had fallen and was laying in a prone position and he squeezed off another round. Just curious.I have no problem with it. He could have loaded another clip and fired away as far as I'm concerned.

I would almost account to that action as adrenellin that is very hard to control once unleashed, especially in self-defense.

The one guy had fallen and was laying in a prone position and he squeezed off another round. Just curious. That was my question. I would imagine if they guy had died it would become an issue.
