  • Some are calling a local store owner a guardian angel after he saves a stranger’s life after the teen was being chased by four people, one carrying a handgun. Surveillance footage shows the split-second decision the owner made just inches away from the life-saving encounter. fox2now.com/ne...
    Operations manager and Crown Wash Express Store owner Jay Johnson say he is counting his blessings after a very scary situation on Friday.
    Johnson says he was standing at the front door of his store located on Kingshighway in the City of St. Louis when he noticed five teens running toward his store, “I could not tell if they were just running normal, just until they got halfway across the lot,” said Johnson.
    The incident was captured on his surveillance video as teens got closer to the door Johnson noticed one teen was being chased by four other teens and knew it was a cry for help, “The gentleman got closer to the front door, he looked at me debating if he wanted to run in the store or run and try and get away. I held the door open and let him in and lock the door from the other four guys that were chasing him. I was thinking I have my own son and I hate to see something happen to him,” said Johnson.
    Once Johnson reviewed the video, he noticed one of the teens chasing the man had a gun in his hand and his finger on the trigger. Johnson says if he had to do it all over again, he would.
    “I did not see the gun, but my decision was I had to stand firm, had I could not buckled with my decision. If I would have let them in the store, they would have done whatever they wanted to do, so I had to block that doorway. I just really did what any father would do. I was not looking to be a hero. I really was hoping to save someone life and that day I saved more than one life, the guy with the gun and the gentleman they were chasing.”

      Like he said "God put him in the right place at the right time"! Nothing's a coincidence and God surely uses his saints who love him. Not allah or Buddha etc...they're not God but products of satan! And those who say higher power, unless they're talking about God in Christ..their higher power is whatever sins they're a slave to. As a sinner is a slave to sin, therefore whatever they love more than God, is there higher power as they're in bondage to the sin Satan has trapped them in and which they love more than the most wonderful gift to mankind.. Christ the saviour of the very sins they love that drag them to hell at death, as the wages of sin is death, we all die and so we all receive death which is our wages. Yet, the gift of those who know and love Christ above all is the gift of eternal life after this wicked world. The unbeliever is condemned to hell where the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. And they justly deserve it for God says that everyone knows he exists as all creation declares his glory, yet they suppress his truth in unrighteousness and hate him without a cause and blame him for all the wickedness in the world such as little children having cancer, when in fact it's their very own sin that's to blame and yet they love THEIR very sin that's caused all the pain and suffering. The devil tempts, but all have free will to say "" NO" to evil temptations. We're to blame. Not God, or even the devil, Although his ending is the lake of fire and also for all who hate God who sent his only begotten son who took the torture of the cross for us! But even the cross was nothing compared to the full wrath of God which was poured out on Christ also!
      And eternal just torment is what you've got to look forward to when you call God a liar by not believing on his finished work of the cross which is the only possible way of salvation for all mankind that exists!
      May Jesus bless you and your loved ones.

And put it on the Liberal & politicians who act like it's okay. But these days the worst part is Marxist BLM which has as one of it's stated goals to tear down traditional family structure.

      That was a very heroic act that the guy did for the youngster but listen, if you are license to carry and you are license to conceal carry then you better have your fire arm ready because these youngsters are running and gunning at each other and anybody that steps in their way so to even the playing field you need to have an equalizer at all times on your person to level the playing field although this man did not have a gun, his life could have been taken very easily with the youngster that had the gun chasing the other youngster in the store, be very careful very very careful stepping into a situation with your life, remember your life can be here one second and gone the next second because you try to save someone’s life!!!
      No, I’m not saying that he should not have at least tried to save this little guy‘s life but you have to be very cautious and careful nowadays and you have to calculate the risk!

      The premise the kid with the gun would have regretted it postulates that he has morals and a sense of values. Even if he had done it, it would only have been committed due to white privilege, as that seems to be the siren song to BLM, all good we do is us, all BAD we do is SOMEONE else's fault.

When you grow up and turn into teenagers with the same kids you used to play ninja turtles with , you are going to be who you hang out with. We need more hero’s to give these young teens alternative options. Then maybe the cycle will someday break.

      Afterall, didn't those rappers teach you anything about passion overcoming your circumstances?
      Besides,every evil person has a REASON: Even human traffickers and Child-abusers have a reason as to why they behave the way they do
      Heck,even Hitler and the KKK had their own reasons.
      So your reasons doesn't excuse your actions. You made a choice in life (good or bad) and will be held accountable for it.
      I mean it's all fun and games (or pity party) until it's your son being trafficked,r*ped,abused or shot just because someone "came from a rough environment"

      While I generally wholeheartedly agree, the criminals in this case were minors. Laws in a lot of places protect their identities and as it was probably an on-going case at the time of the news broadcast the judge had probably had restricted what info they were allowed to show. Today you could probably find out if you looked it up i imagine. Not to mention everyone in the neighbourhood more then likely knew who they were anyway.

    I was sure they would beat me up and stab me( 1 of them was that 1 violent kid in school that carries a knife 🔪 )
    The buss driver for 1 of the private schools that were near our public school stepped the out of the bus and started screaming at them until they left.

While it may be that the video was insufficient to make an informed arrest, or whether they were picked up for the crime but it wasn’t published, the point I believe, was that the escapee was indeed in great danger from the pursuers. For all we know, they could be in a sanctuary city where crime like this is allowed to run rampant. Vote demoncrat and this is what future law abiding people’s lives will be like. As in Minneapolis, people are told to do what the criminals tell them to do. Seems a little horrific if you are an 11 or 12 year old boy or girl doesn’t it?

    Mad respect for you man, we need more people like you because this world is slowly started to accept the fact that gun violence is common and something usual, I hate how teens and even kids walk down the streets and just casually keep walking even when hearing shootings happening nearby. I've seen it myself, I was just walking passed a playground and you know kids were playing and doing everything kids do until I stopped when I heard a gunshot nearby, then followed many other gunshots and the kids all stopped ad said to each other "It must be a drive by or something..." "Yeah it might be?" And then they continue playing not realising the shooting might happen at the playground or the person shooting might come closer and put the kids in danger. It just melts my heart seeing that there are good people out there.

      @Mr. Moe Here are some facts, a study from the National Crime Justice Reference System which is a government funded source looking at the issues related to crime. It states, "Children from single-parent families are more likely to have behavioral problems because they tend to lack economic security and adequate time with parents."
      "The Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency reports that the most reliable indicator of violent crime in a community is the proportion of fatherless families. Fathers typically offer economic stability, a role model for boys, greater household security, and reduced stress for mothers. This is especially true for families with adolescent boys, the most crime-prone cohort. Children from single-parent families are more prone than children from two-parent families to use drugs, be gang members, be expelled from school, be committed to reform institutions, and become juvenile murderers. Single parenthood inevitably reduces the amount of time a child has in interaction with someone who is attentive to the child's needs, including the provision of moral guidance and discipline. According to a 1993 Metropolitan Life Survey, "Violence in America's Public Schools," 71 percent of teachers and 90 percent of law enforcement officials state that the lack of parental supervision at home is a major factor that contributes to the violence in schools. Sixty-one percent of elementary students and 76 percent of secondary children agree with this assessment."
