They Were Just Trying to Earn an Honest Living

And this "lady" objected to the noise. (It being Halloween-week I was going to use "Witch" but that isn't how I want to describe her.) Local flooring company involved in shooting, say it was self-defense

They were installing a new hardwood floor inside a 2nd floor condo at 8 o'clock in the morning. She was upset and called the police. The police were not going to stop them from working.

“When the police got there they told the lady they were not going to stop them from working because ‘it’s not 6 a.m., it’s not 8 p.m. They’re here to make an honest living, we’re going to let them continue to work,'” said the man who oversees The Floor Doctor.

When the cops left she said she was going to "call someone else."

The owner tells us an hour later a man appeared and started beating up one of his guys.

“My guy went to put him in a headlock and the suspect pulled out a gun,” the man explained.

He told 10 On Your Side his team tried wrestling the gun out of the man’s hand with no luck. That’s when one contractor pulled his own gun in self-defense.

The guy who showed up to threaten the floor crew was shot. He remains in the hospital. Cops didn't arrest the flooring crew, because self-defense is not illegal in Virginia.

Some of the crew thinks that the woman should be arrested, but sadly felony stupidity is not something she can be charged with. I don't know if she can be charged with something else.

When did people become so self-centered that they object to people who work for a living?

I miss living in a civilized society.
