Columbia (WLTX) - A man who tried to rob people at an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting is dead after being shot.

Columbia Police say a man in his late teens walked into the meeting at 2015 College Street, the Acoa Club, at 11 p.m. Saturday night with a gun.

They say he demanded two people empty their pockets. That's when police say a person with a concealed weapons permit shot the man in his chest.

<SNIP>

Default The cops can't be everywhere

Hate to hear someone lost their life but when you adopt a life of crime you must live or die with the consequences.

It's like those pirates who were just killed, sometimes deadly force is necessary.

The song that goes "we're not gonna take it, we're not gonna take it anymore" comes to mind.

If your a criminal and your reading this, ask yourself if you feel lucky, where can you go that you will be sure someone isn't carrying a concealed weapon ready and waiting to put their first notch on the handle.

Live by the sword, die by the sword as the saying goes. Though y'all do realize it could have just as easily been the other way around.

I'm sure you would've rather seen the criminal possible execute everyone after getting all their valuables, and then getting away.
