‘This Is Mind Boggling’: Arlington Store Owner Defends Employee Jailed for Shooting Masked Burglars
31st March 2020
An Arlington, Virginia smoke shop owner defended a jailed employee who could face decades in prison for firing his weapon at a group of masked burglars, wounding one.
Hamzeh Abusharia, 33, was sleeping in a back room of Arlington Smoke Shop when he was awakened early Sunday morning by three masked juvenile suspects who had broken in to “steal cash and merchandise,” WJLA reported. Abusharia grabbed a gun and, according to police: “opened the door to the sales floor and discharged the weapon, striking one juvenile subject. The employee retreated to the back room but reentered the sales floor and discharged his weapon again as the subjects were attempting to flee the business.”
Abushariah reportedly faces charges of malicious wounding, violation of a protective order and reckless handling of a firearm.

The news started a short panic on FB when people wrongly assumed it was Arlington, Texas. Trust me, no jury in Texas will convict you of shooting at armed burglars.
Local VA people responded with the explanation that this is just one of many symptoms of the Left’s takeover of the state in the previous election.
