Arizona business owner defends store with rifles, handguns during looting<\/strong>
\n“We weren’t here to hurt anybody. We weren’t here to harm anybody,” the store owner’s son said.<\/em><\/p>\n

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. \u2014 As protesters in Scottsdale moved down 5th Avenue, local stores had windows broken and benches along the road were damaged.<\/p>\n

The vandalism continued down the road, until protesters came to a local jewelry store. There, the protesters found a handful of people inside the store, armed with rifles and handguns. <\/p>\n

“We weren’t here to hurt anybody. We weren’t here to harm anybody,” the store owner’s son, who did not wish to be identified by name, said. “After seeing exactly what happened to the Apple store, this isn’t protesting, this isn’t rioting, this is crime.”<\/p>\n

The protesters stopped and proceeded to hold a bit of a protest, kneeling and raising their arms in front of the store.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Logan Square shop owner confronts looters, fires gun, detains one, prosecutors say<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Logan Square store owner with a concealed carry license fired shots at hammer-wielding looters who confronted him in his shop early Monday, prosecutors said. The businessman even managed to detain one of the alleged intruders for police.<\/p>\n

The owner of St. Lucia\u2019s Smoke Shop at 2075 North Western decided to stay in an apartment above his shop this weekend to watch out for looters. Around 4:20 a.m. Monday, his fears materialized.<\/p>\n

Awakened by the sounds of breaking glass, he grabbed his handgun and rushed to the store downstairs with another person. There, he saw a group of men wielding hammers. He told them to stop, but they started surging toward him instead, Assistant State\u2019s Attorney James Murphy said in court Monday evening.<\/p>\n

The shop owner told police he fired his gun to make the men back away, but he didn\u2019t know how many shots were fired. Most of the men ran from the store, but the owner managed to grab and handcuff one of them, Murphy said.<\/p>\n

That man, 22-year-old David Sloan, is charged with felony burglary.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

HOW A MARINE CORPS VETERAN DISARMED A RIOTER DURING SEATTLE PROTEST<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Joshua Skovlund
\nA Marine Corps veteran turned security contractor, who asked that his name not be used for security reasons, unintentionally took the internet by storm after a video surfaced of him disarming a Seattle rioter who had stolen a police officer\u2019s AR-15 from a destroyed squad car Saturday. <\/p>\n

The preliminary details of what happened have become distorted on social media, with misconceptions about a second rifle that was slung on his back as well as why he was at the protests that developed following George Floyd\u2019s death in police custody. Coffee or Die obtained an exclusive interview with the contractor to set the record straight on what happened that day. <\/p>\n

The contractor served four years in the U.S. Marine Corps infantry in 1st Battalion, 3rd Marines, Alpha Company. After separating from service, he entered into his current career of military contracting, which has included working as a firearms instructor and in security, along with starting a community group on Instagram called Firewatch Official, a page dedicated to helping military and first responder personnel share their stories and quell demons that some carry with them. He said that he is in-between jobs, and due to financial strains incurred by the pandemic, is also in the beginning stages of starting his own company. \u201cWhen you get to the bottom, it\u2019s like, where are you going to go but up?\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed…to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless…If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country.” \u2014 Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
