Armed robber targets medical patient, who pulls own gun on him
A robber, armed with a gun, targets a dialysis patient outside a medical building. He had some second thoughts after he meets the would-be victim who is carrying a gun himself.
It was 4:45 Monday morning. The 49-year-old patient from Waterford pulls into a parking spot off Dixie Highway near M-15. He was headed for Davita Dialysis when he gets a bit of a detour.
The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office said a young man stepped out of a wooded area next to the property and walked right up to the man’s car. He demanded his wallet and pulled out a revolver.
The man pulled his own gun out and asked the suspect one question: “Do you really want to do this?”
The answer, apparently, was no. Investigators said he told the would-be victim to have a nice day before hightailing it back to the trees.
FOX 2’s Amy Lange spoke with two different people near the scene. Both said they think the area is safe and can’t believe that it happened.
As for the man who stopped the robbery, he put his gun away, and walked in for this scheduled treatment, then called police.
They showed up, with a dog, but were unable to track him down. He’s described as a 20-year-old Hispanic man wearing a blue hoodie and blue jeans, carrying a revolver.
“Do you really want to do this?” Words spoken by a true badass concealer. This is exactly why we carry-to prevent idiots from getting what they want. For the 49-year-old dialysis patient, having a firearm within arms reach proved to be the answer to this confrontation.
Criminals like this have no honor, no respect for those with health disabilities. All they see is an easy victim to take advantage of. This is why those who are in a weakened physical state must arm themselves against random bush-dwelling attackers. Weakness of the body can be remedied with the use of a firearm; it equals the playing field for innocent victims.
I can just visualize the robber freezing up when our concealed carrier took out his own firearm. With a quick look at the gun pointed at him, this kid was sure to slink back into the dark hole he crawled out of.
