Good Guy with a Gun Turns the Tables on 7-Eleven Robbers in Florida

Published

on

A Florida robbery Saturday ended up far from whatever two men had expected after one victim grabbed his gun.

The incident took place at about 7 p.m. in Dania Beach, according to WTVJ-TV.

Two robberies took place at a 7-Eleven. A victim was robbed at gunpoint in the store’s parking lot.

Justin Kessel, 19, is suspected of that crime, police said.

The suspect then entered the store, where a clerk was robbed. So far, everything was going according to plan.

But while the suspect was robbing the store, the victim decided he had had enough of being a victim and went to his car to retrieve his gun.

As the suspect left the store, instead of his getaway vehicle, he found the robbery victim with a gun. The suspect was shot by the victim, who fired multiple shots at him.

The victim then kept his gun on the suspect while waiting for police. However, while he was waiting, the driver of the getaway vehicle entered the picture.

The victim said a Honda CR-V attempted to run him over, but he was able to avoid the vehicle. The robbery victim then fired more shots, hitting the vehicle.

Kessel was taken into custody by police.

Police later found the vehicle that had been shot at during the incident.

Melvin Presley, 40, was found wounded in the vehicle. Presley had multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

A man identified only as Rodney told reporters the incident happened quickly.

“I live right around the corner and it is scary,” he said. “The guy was robbing the place, tried to rob one of the customers and when he come back out, the other guy in the car shot him.”

Kessel was taken to Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale. He will face two counts of robbery with a firearm, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

The robbery victim was questioned by police and later released.

The investigation into the incident continues, according to a news release from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.

“BSO detectives are working with the Broward County State Attorney’s Office to determine if further charges will be filed against the adult victim in this case,” the sheriff’s office said.

A Wave of Charlie Kirk Tributes Is Spreading Across South Korea

Published

on

By

From our trusted source in South Korea: I would like to share with you an important development in South Korea following the tragic death of Charlie Kirk. His passing has not only shaken America, but it has also deeply touched the hearts of freedom-loving citizens here. What began as grief has quickly become a wave of tributes spreading across our nation.

South Koreans pay tribute to Charlie Kirk by holding a march for freedom in the rain for the assassinated conservative leader.

Young Conservative Generation Vows to Honor His Legacy Forever

The sudden death of Charlie Kirk, a symbol of the American conservative movement and a fighter for freedom, has delivered a deep shock to Korea’s freedom movement as well. Yet this tragic news has not ended in sorrow alone—it has sparked a powerful wave of tributes across the nation.

In Seoul and other major cities, churches, youth groups, conservative parties, and students from Freedom University have led memorial services, prayer gatherings, and tribute marches. With the Korean and American flags raised together, moments of floral tributes and silent prayers have become a symbolic expression of the strong bond of the Korea-U.S. freedom alliance. Above all, this wave of remembrance is significant because it is being carried nationwide, led primarily by the younger generation.

Just a week before his passing, Charlie Kirk visited Korea and left young people here with great hope and courage. His speech and message are now regarded as a kind of final testament, and Korea’s freedom movement remembers it as the “Five Commitments to Be Upheld to the End.”

The Five Commitments Left by Charlie Kirk

1. Keep Korea’s streets clean and preserve their beauty.
2. Korea grew with the help of America, but has already repaid that debt many times. One of America’s greatest achievements is Korea itself.
3. Stand with America in the fight for freedom, and never bow to the Chinese Communist Party.
4. Do not yield to illegal immigration policies. Koreans should, if possible, raise more children and safeguard the nation’s population.
5. As long as Koreans fight for freedom, America too will rise to stand for justice.

These five messages are not merely advice—they are being embraced as a shared legacy that the freedom movements of Korea and America must uphold together.

“His Legacy Will Live On Forever”

Korea’s young conservatives have made it clear that these memorial events will not end as a one-time gesture. They declared, “To ensure that Charlie Kirk’s commitments and legacy are never forgotten, we will continue to hold large-scale tribute marches and rallies.” The remembrance is evolving beyond memory into tangible action and practice by Korea’s youth.

Patriots of Korea’s freedom movement also emphasized through this moment, “We share in America’s grief.” Korea fought alongside the United States during the Korean War to defend freedom, and even today the alliance remains the foundation of national security. Young Koreans do not see Charlie Kirk’s death as America’s loss alone, but as a pain borne by the entire free world. They have pledged to carry the banner he left behind.

The Road Ahead

Across Korea, additional large-scale tribute marches and gatherings are already being prepared. Conservative parties, Freedom University, and youth organizations are uniting to commemorate Charlie Kirk and to spread his message around the world. They declare, “Charlie Kirk’s spirit lives on in the hearts of young people in both Korea and the United States.” His name and legacy will continue to shine as a beacon of freedom.

Photos and videos taken in Seoul and across the provinces demonstrate how Korea is sharing in America’s grief and strengthening the solidarity of the free world.

Charlie Kirk’s death is not the end. It has become a new signal of departure for the youth of the freedom movements in both Korea and the United States, and his name will never be forgotten.

I respectfully ask that you highlight this story—so the world knows that South Korea is also mourning together with America, and that his legacy is living on here as well.

Accused Charlie Kirk Assassin Scheduled to Make First Court Appearance on Tuesday

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson mugshot

Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old charged with assassinating Charlie Kirk, is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Tuesday.

The hearing is currently set to be conducted virtually.

“Assuming all goes as planned and we file charges on Tuesday, Mr. Robinson’s first appearance will be Tuesday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. MDT,” according to Christopher Ballard, chief of staff at the public information office at the Utah County attorney’s office, according to a report from CNN.

Robinson reportedly confessed to his father, then declared that he would rather kill himself than turn himself in to law enforcement.

“His family and a friend helped to deliver him into custody of law enforcement in Washington County,” Utah Governor Spencer Cox said during a press briefing on Friday.

According to the Probable Cause Statement signed by Detective Brian Davis, surveillance footage captured Robinson arriving on campus around 8:29 AM in a gray Dodge Challenger, dressed in a maroon t-shirt, light-colored shorts, a black hat with a white logo, and light shoes. He later changed into a long-sleeve black shirt featuring an American flag and eagle design, dark jeans, and white/gray Converse Chuck Taylor shoes with black soles, clothing that matched the sniper’s description.

Investigators tracked Robinson as he climbed onto the rooftop of the Losee Center building around 12:17 PM, positioning himself with a view of the courtyard where Kirk was speaking at his “Prove Me Wrong” event. At approximately 12:22 PM, a single gunshot rang out, striking the 31-year-old Kirk in the neck and causing fatal blood loss as he collapsed onstage. Robinson allegedly fled the rooftop, discarding a Mauser .30-06 bolt-action rifle wrapped in a dark towel in a grassy area east of the building. Shoe impressions from Converse sneakers were found on the rooftop edge, and a palm print was recovered, further linking him to the scene.

The documents reveal that Robinson had become “more political in recent years,” with a family member recounting a dinner conversation where he expressed hatred for Kirk, accusing the conservative activist of “spreading hate.” On the evening of September 11, that same family member contacted authorities through a friend, claiming Robinson had confessed or implicated himself in the shooting. Investigators also interviewed Robinson’s roommate, who showed them Discord messages from a contact named “Tyler” discussing retrieving a rifle from a bush, engraving bullets, wrapping the weapon in a towel, and changing outfits to evade detection.

“Investigators interviewed the roommate, who stated that his roommate (referring to Robinson) made a joke on Discord. Investigators asked if he would show them the messages on Discord, he opened it and showed several messages to investigators and allowed investigators to take photos of the screen as each message was shown by Robinson’s roommate,” the document states.

It continues, “These photos consisted of various messages, including content of messages between the phone contact name ‘Tyler’ with an emoji icon, and Robinson’s roommate’s device. The content of these messages included messages affiliated with the contact ‘Tyler’ stating a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point, leaving the rifle in a bush, messages related to visually watching the area where a rifle was left, and a message referring to having left the rifle wrapped in a towel.”

“The messages also refer to engraving bullets, and a mention of a scope and the rifle being unique. Messages from the contact Tyler also mention that he had changed outfits.”

“Based on the evidence detailed in this statement, I believe there is probable cause that Tyler Robinson committed the crimes of aggravated murder by shooting Charlie Kirk in a circumstance that put many around him at grave risk of death, felony discharge of a firearm, and obstruction of justice for moving and hiding the rifle believed to be used in the shooting,” Davis concluded.

Discord has denied having records of the conversations on its servers.

Utah is a death penalty state. If convicted, Robinson will be eligible to face a firing squad.

WOW: Evil Pelosi Defends Democrats’ Violent Rhetoric After Assassin Murders Charlie Kirk (VIDEO)

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defended Democrats’ violent rhetoric after a left-wing assassin murdered TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk at a Utah Valley University campus this week.

Conservative political activist Charlie Kirk was gunned down by a leftist who hated him this week.

Tyler Robinson, 22, was taken into custody on Friday morning after his father turned him in to authorities. Friends and family said Robinson had become more political in recent years. The 22-year-old became radicalized by the left, and instead of debating Charlie Kirk on the open mic, he killed him from a rooftop 200 yards away.

Charlie Kirk was assassinated after Democrats and their media stenographers had glorified violence against Trump supporters for years.

WATCH:

After calling Trump supporters a threat to democracy for years, it finally happened.

Just one year after President Trump was shot in the ear at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Charlie Kirk, one of the most influential conservative voices, was murdered in broad daylight.

Rather than condemn the violent rhetoric coming from vile Democrats, Pelosi defended it and took zero accountability.

“People don’t have any intention of saying something that leads to something dangerous. We cannot take responsibility for the minds,” evil Democrat Pelosi said.
