My friend Pres sent me this heartwarming story with a happy ending.
A New York man is dead after he tried to carjack a man who turned out to be an armed retired NYPD officer.
According to reports, 20-year-old Manuel Ocampo
I wonder if he is an illegal dude?
and an unidentified accomplice walked up to the unnamed retired cop’s car at around 3 am on Tuesday morning. Ocampo pulled out a gun and pointed it at the man’s head and tried to hold up the man in his car on Linden Blvd. in East New York.
Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said “two armed people attempted to carjack the ex-cop.”
According to a manager of a local business who saw the incident, “they took his wallet. They tried to take his keys. He was sitting in his car.”
And now comes the good part.
He says a struggle ensued. “He was robbed, and when he got the chance, he shot at them. At one point, they had the upper hand. He was able to regain the upper hand, and he shot him.”
When police arrived, Ocampo was still lying on the ground with his gun in his hand. He was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival at Brookdale Hospital.
Good! That saves New York the cost of a trial and housing this dooshbag in prison. Too bad he didn’t kill the other dude. He needs some time at the range.
Police were able to track down the other suspect and he is in custody though details have not been released.
Police questioned the former officer but don’t expect to charge him with anything as the incident is being considered self-defense. The retiree had to also be taken to Kings County Hospital after having difficulty breathing following the incident and reportedly suffered an asthma attack.
But he killed one of the scumbags and he’s OK. Dontcha love a story with a happy ending?
Now, what is missing from this story? Was Campo an illegal? Was he Hispanic, a white Hispanic, or black?
