In Clayton County, Georgia, the legal owner of an AR-style rifle fired more than a dozen rounds at three local thugs who were attempting to break into his BMW, after successfully stealing another gun out of his truck.
The reason this story is so important in today’s media frenzy over AR-15s and AR-style semi-automatic rifles, is that they’re effective at killing a lot of people. And it’s for that reason that crazy people, people in crisis and criminals, choose this weapon to fire into crowds and do horrible things.
The Woke media, and of course, the Left says there’s no need for a rifle that shoots 30 rounds. That’s the trouble when you have three thugs with 10 rounds each in their guns. When you run out, and you’re hiding behind your car, they know it. And they’ll come assassinate you, rape your wife, probably kill all your children – because, who needs witnesses), and burglarize your house before burning it to the ground on their way out.
These three thugs came armed, they were coordinated, they fired at Smith without provocation, and they certainly meant to stick around had he not fired back. And if he had been armed the way Democrats wanted him to be, which is without an AR-15 that has the capacity, the accuracy, the reliability and the portability to get him out of that situation safely, there’s no telling what would have happened. Instead, no law-abiding citizens were injured, and the day was won by the way of the gun. And that’s what we are in this country. Like it or not, this country was not founded on god or empires. It was founded on guns.
Before I get too far into this story, I want to first say that this is what I call a real man. He’s a veteran of the Afghanistan war, he’s a law-abiding gun owner, he was prepared and combat ready to take out the thugs that were trying to violate his rights and steal his property. He protected his home, his family and his property. And the unlawful abusers of gun laws making it hard for everyone else, will be thinking twice before making their way through his neighborhood again.
Witfield Smith saw the assailants approaching his car sometime in the evening of June 5, one armed with a pistol. What he couldn’t see on his cameras were the other criminals, dressed in hoodies and breaking into his other vehicle – a truck – and stealing a gun that he had stored inside.
If you hear this story on CNN or NPR, I will give you a crisp $100 bill. Why? Because this is how AR-15s are used in America thousands of times more often than they’re used by psychotic criminals to shoot up 4th of July parades. This man is alive, his family is alive, and frankly his neighbors are now safer because Fox 5 News broke this story of a small town hero.
They’re safer because AR-15s and combat style semi-automatic weapons don’t run out of bullets when three pieces of shit are stealing your property and shooting at you with 8-15 rounds in each of their guns. This, if anyone from the left is listening, is why you need a weapon that shoots more rounds than theirs do.
It appears by the security camera footage that several black males, who were also wearing hoodies, congregated in the street as a car drove by, and then broke off into the lawns along the street.
The crooks must have seen Smith approaching, and opened fire on him, firing dozens of rounds at him, many hitting his car. As he fired back, he ran backward toward his house, where he grabbed more ammunition, and then returned to the yard to see if they were still in the area. Thankfully, he was not injured in the event. There’s no word yet on whether or not the thugs were shot. Hopefully they bled out on the way home.
After the shootout, it appears that the criminals went to other houses and attempted to go inside to escape what they found out was absolutely the wrong house to rob, but were unsuccessful. It may be that the assailants were on foot, or that their getaway driver actually had a brain, ditched his friends and drove off.
The funny part about the surveillance video is that, when Smith first emerged he was in his PJ bottoms and flip-flops. But he was cocked and locked. He actually lost his shoes as he was backpedaling to his house. But when he re-emerged he was fully dressed, with a fresh clip.
This means that Smith went into his house after being fired at with a volley of pistol rounds, dropped his clip, reloaded, threw on pants and a shirt, and headed back into battle for more. That, if nothing else, is what makes this man a total hero.
I gotta say, I love that intro by the reporter on the scene. Eric Perry said, they flat out picked the wrong home to burglarize.
Okay, so a few of those shots in his car were actually from his own shots as he more or less panic-fired without really aiming.
His truck was hit as well. On the video, where he represented where the thugs were using his truck as cover.
So, I wanted to give a warm and hearty thanks to Whitfield Smith for his service, and for being a total badass who refused to let these idiots take advantage of him.
