Response Time in El Paso , Texas/S&W .40 cal

Three armed felons crossed the U. S. border and attempted to rob an off duty El Paso police officer dressed in civilian clothes while he stood in front of a bank.
The plan was for two of them to grab his backpack and toss it to an accomplice on a stolen motorcycle.
However, the well prepared police officer shot all of them, killing two immediately. The third was shot in both arms and bled to death before the ambulance arrived.

This is how much the U. S . Taxpayer would have had to pay to prosecute these thugs:
Arrest and detention for 1 night - $6,000
Transportation for deportation back to Mexico the next day - $1000
Air time for Obama to apologize in 30 min speech - $25,007,000

What it actually cost:
Four .40 rounds = $1.00
Taxpayer savings = $25,006,999.00

They Picked The Wrong Man to Rob - Only in TEXAS !
THE AVERAGE RESPONSE TIME FOR A 911 CALL I S 4 MINUTES
THE AVERAGE RESPONSE TIME FOR A .40 S&W ROUND IS ABOUT 1225 FEET PER SECOND .

I'm almost tempted to start posting the "Armed Citizen" stuff from the NRA magazines, but I think most everyone on here reads them every month anyway... I'm not saying we don't need police, obviously we need more like this guy!, but I'm saying you can't rely on them to show up within a matter of miliseconds. They're great for when it's not something going down within the next 90seconds, but those instances where you have only fractions of seconds to decide, and a phone call won't save you, this is how it should be resolved, none of this "let's give them another chance" crap that our current prison system spouts. Repeat offenders who obviously aren't going to walk the line like most everyone else need to just stop being taken care of by our dollars and removed from society. x10 if they're illegals.

Went and did a Snopes hunt on this one (as I've heard it before and didn't believe it then either).

Started here (note some graphic pics are there), this lead me here and this lead me finally to here.

So it did happen but it wasn't Mexicans in El Paso ... was Brazilians in Brazil back in September of 2008.

Still a nifty story.

Man that's some cheap .40!
