If Obama had a son, it would look like Trayvon. If he had 3 sons, they would look like the suspects below.

So here's the story I posted yesterday, but was "rejected" by staff. Best of luck to ya!




NORTH AUGUSTA — One man is dead and two are recovering after being
shot by a gun store owner during a burglary of his business Thursday
morning.

Stephen Bayazes Jr., 57, told officers that he and his wife were
asleep in an apartment at the back of the business, Guns & Ammo
Gunsmith, 522 Edgefield Road, shortly before 4 a.m. when he awoke after
hearing a loud crash and the activation of a silent alarm.
Bayazes grabbed an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle and found three men
loading guns into a van that had crashed through the side wall of the
store. After hearing the men yell to kill him, Bayazes shot one 30-round
magazine of .223-caliber bullets before retreating to his bedroom to
reload, he later told officers.

As he left the room, Bayazes saw two men drive away in the van.

K’Raven Aude Goodwin, 20, of Eastover, S.C., was wounded and left behind at the gun
shop.



Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton said Goodwin died of gunshot wounds
shortly after arriving at Medical College of Georgia Hospital.
The two other suspects were found at Waffle House on Martintown Road,
about three miles away. Investigators said the men, who had both been
shot, stopped at the restaurant to seek help.
Eddie Stewart, 30, of Columbia, and Franklin Robinson, 27, of
Gadsden, S.C., were taken to a hospital. Details on their injuries have
not been released.





Aiken County sheriff’s Sgt. Jason Feemster said it appeared that all of the stolen merchandise was in the van.

Hours after the incident, a construction crew worked to repair the
damaged wall. Parts of the ceiling and glass from display cases still
littered the floor.
The store owner said it was not the first time the store has been a target.

In 2009, the store was burglarized.


Shortly afterward, Bayazes and his wife moved into an apartment in the back.

Bayazes was not injured.

Feemster said Bayazes was within his rights to use lethal force.

“If someone is breaking in your home or business, you have the right to defend yourself and not retreat,” the sergeant said.
