Posted at 8:30 am on January 8, 2018 by Tom Knighton
I feel bad for Cynthia Ruiz. In addition to being a widow, she has now had
to bury her son. It’s a horrible thing to lose one of your children, but
she did.
However, I can only feel so bad for her. After all, her son brought this on
himself.
Ruiz’s son, Andrew Herrera, was shot and killed when he tried to rob a
Popeye’s Chicken in Texas. That’s when he came face-to-face with the state
’s self-defense laws.
Now, Ruiz has questions.
“Did my son deserve to be punished? Yes, he did,” Ruiz said.
Police said Herrera, wearing a hoodie and a mask, entered the South Side
restaurant with gun and confronted a man and his family who were eating.
After the man told Herrera he had spent the money he had on their dinner
, Herrera turned toward the counter and pointed the gun at one of the
workers, who was running away.
That’s when the man, who had a concealed handgun license, fired several
shots at Herrera.
A police spokesman later said, “Here in Texas, if you’re in fear of
loss of life, loss of property, you have a right to defend yourself.”
Ruiz said she understands the man who shot her son was defending his
family, but she asked, “Why shoot him four more times? Why did he shoot him
five times?”
I hate to break it to Ruiz, but the reason the man shot him five times was
simple. You shoot until there’s no longer a threat. The armed citizen judge
there was still a risk to him and his family–and the word “family” means
no self-respecting man is going to take a chance at that point–and kept
shooting until there was no longer a threat.
Shootings aren’t like the movies or on TV. You don’t shoot to wound. A
wounded person can still kill you. You shoot until the threat has been
eliminated. If the first shot wounds them but they drop their weapon and
surrender, so much the better for everyone, but only a complete and total
idiot expects that to happen.
Herrera threatened the lives of human beings, and he paid a price for that.
It’s a price that Ruiz is being forced to pay, which is a pity, but either
she failed to teach him it was wrong to steal, or he failed to heed the
lessons. Either way, he tried to rob a chicken place and came face-to-face
with someone who was not going to be a victim.
Why was Herrara shot five times? Because he stood there, gun in hand, and
threatened the innocent.
Ruiz contends that a second suspect who served as Herrera’s getaway driver
claims the gun wasn’t loaded. To that I reply, “So what?”
If you point a gun at me, my family, or anyone else in my vicinity, I’m not
going to assume that it’s unloaded. That is stupid, especially since one
of the basic rules of firearm safety is to treat all firearms as if they’re
loaded. For me, that applies to the one in the criminal’s hand. I’m going
to act as if it’s loaded because the alternative is the loss of innocent
life if I’m wrong.
Why did they have to shoot him five times? Because he was a threat, and
common wisdom is to just keep shooting until he’s not a threat any longer.
If you want your kids to not be shot, impress upon them that this is what
happens when you threaten people with a gun. | b*****e
