Elderly vigilante ‘didn’t want to shoot’ robbers
vig·i·lan·te
noun
1. One who takes or advocates the taking of law enforcement into one's own hands.
2. A member of a vigilance committee.
How does being the victim of a violent crime and halting a robbery and quite possibly cold blooded murder make one a vigilante? There is a difference between minding your own business when you are attacked by armed robbers and going out looking for trouble. The author of this headline is a moron.
For a more balanced report on this tragic event go here.
Update: They changed the title of the story removing "vigilante" and replacing it with "shopkeeper." It appears that MSNBC got buried with complaints about the headline.
