More on Knoxville self defense

Last week, I posted on the story of a Knoxville county commissioner who got the drop on an armed robber -- who foolishly tried to stick up a guy wearing a "Friends of the NRA" cap.

Instapundit is reporting that the robber he stopped is being charged with murder, for having killed a Walgreens truck driver in the course of an attempted car-jacking. More here and here.

UPDATE: this is grand. Instapundit reports that the local alternative paper ran an editorial attacking the commissioner -- he'd once offered a firearm with every vehicle he sold, was now engaged in "showboating," had now "shown himself to be a danger to himself and others" and a "National Rifle Association wetdream." "The whole scenario is somehow suspect ... The grand jury could put Lambert under oath to get his story straight and decide whether and what crimes may have been committed."

And the article appears just in time for the guy he defended against to be charged as a murderer. Oh, yes, payback is a cast-iron ***** at times.
