Police say a man likely saved the lives of several people when he shot and killed a gunman inside a West Philadelphia barbershop.

A 40-year-old man was inside Falah Barber Shop Inc. on the 600 block of Preston Street shortly before 3 p.m. Sunday when police say he began fighting with another person inside.


"They were arguing," said 16-year-old Yusaf Mack who was a customer inside the shop at the time. "They were taking it too far and one of the barbers said, 'chill out.'"

The fight quickly escalated and the 40-year-old man took out his gun and opened fire on customers and barbers, police said.

1. Thank goodness it wasn't a "calculuz" class...

everyone might have been killed by the criminal because no one would have been allowed to be armed.

I figure Stevie Wonder could see what I did. Lol.

2. But, but, this never happens

Now we wait for some dipstick to post 3 or 4 crime stories, as if they are morally equivalent to a self defense case.

One of the rare occasions when shots are fired and the media actually picks up a self defense story.

I wonder when Mayor Nutter (MAIG) will be out to denounce the person with the permit as part of the violence problem?

3. MAIG might memorialize

the criminal in their "No More Names" campaign. There is precedent. http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2013/06/20/marathon-bombing-suspect-tamerlan-tsarnaev-listed-gun-violence-victim-rally/rzNOM37l0NgwcDMlX4V6mL/story.html

4. MAIG cuts the cheese, then points to Slate. Wonder who else is on that list.

5. "Wonder who else is on that list."

I'd search for "Lee Harvey Oswald" and "Osama bin Ladin" but I'm afraid I'd find them.
