No charges will likely be filed against the manager of a Pensacola bingo hall who took the law into his own hands.

This brave Floridian did not “take the law into his own hands,” he defended himself and those around him from a criminal who FIRED his weapon. When people complain about your liberal bias, this is what they are talking about.

You are exactly right, Club-E! That first paragraph makes Chad England sound like some sort of vigilante. He absolutely DID NOT take “the law into his own hands.” What he DID do is defend himself, and other innocents, from an armed, low-life thug. Too bad Jessica wasn’t playing bingo that day. I’m sure she could have reasoned with the shooter and showed the appropriate sensitivity to what I am sure must have been a disadvantage childhood. The bingo players were asking for, after all, it by not donating their money to some handout program for troubled youth. Thank you Ms. Taloney for helping us see that Alton Prewitt was the real victim here!!

Ms. Taloney wrote me an email stating that “there is absolutely nothing in the story that suggests Chad England did anything wrong.” I googled the phrase “who took the law into his own hands” and the most common definition was - “to do something illegal in order to punish someone because you know that the law will not punish that person.” Does Ms. Taloney have an alternative definition that we just don’t know about?

Prewitt was pronounced dead on the scene.
