Two siblings are outraged at the shooting death of their brother. An employee at a Dayton Dollar General gunned him down. Tragically, 23-year-old Roosevelt Rappley was fired upon inside the store along the 2200 block of North Gettysburg Avenue Wednesday night. Siblings Rochelle and Tone Rappley are furious. Rochelle told local Channel 7 the worker had no business having a gun onsite to start with, let alone fatally targeting her brother. Horribly, Roosevelt’s the pair’s second of ten siblings to perish from gun violence. Tone’s in complete shock: — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) October 12, 2019 Police have confirmed that the employee — who was legally allowed to possess a firearm — was indeed the gunman. However, even given the shock of his shooting, Rochelle does grant Roosevelt partial responsibility: Reporter Molly Koweek summed it up: The worker wasn’t the only one packing heat: From WHIOTV: In a 911 call, a man told dispatchers that a man with a gun attempted to rob him at the store. “He pointed a gun at me,” the caller said. “I had a firearm on me. I pulled my firearm and I shot him in self defense.” The caller also said that the suspect “shot back,” but it is not clear how many shots were fired during the incident. … [Lt. Jason Hall] told dispatchers that there [were] other staff in the store at the time and that the suspect pointed a gun at them as well. Rochelle appears to believe the store employee was being reprehensibly petty: She thinks a little bit of decorum was in order: “Call the police. That’s what y’all are supposed to do.” 
“[W]rong is wrong. That was wrong for that clerk to shoot my brother in the chest…” “I still don’t believe it. … [A]t the end of the day, I don’t believe my brother’s dead. … [I]t ain’t kicked in yet.” Dayton, Ohio family outraged their sibling was shot dead by a store clerk while attempting an armed robbery “He’s got some responsibility, but not all!” “The pair acknowledges that [it] was wrong for Roosevelt Rappley to try and rob the Dollar General…but they say the clerk shouldn’t have had a gun at work.” “Police say…Roosevelt…showed a gun and demanded cash Wednesday.” “Yes, he’s robbin’ y’all — oh WELL.”
Cops say Roosevelt might’ve been involved in other robberies, too.
But Rochelle is indignant:
“Y’all are not supposed to take matters into y’all’s own hands. If that’s the case, I’ll take matters into my own hands.”
We’re living in dangerous times, and care must always be taken. Roosevelt Rappley fell victim to a serial malady in this brutal world: He was victimized by the deadly threat of a loaded gun — while he was trying to do the same to others instead, as he robbed the snot out of them.
Poster Comment:
Some good gun advice for Ohio armed employees in this local reporting on the case.
A black, RKBA, kayaking, Florida Man plays back the footage of the unhappy siblings from WHIO, then comments on it. A black dude discussing a black robber getting shot in the chest by a black store employee. This was the third Dollar General robbery in the metro area in the last month.
Lastly, some Deplorable watches the two siblings and offers some heavy sarcasm in response.

I'm actually surprised there is a Dollar General open on the west side of Dayton, most businesses leave because they get tired of being ripped off and broken into on an almost daily basis. Looks like the war on poverty is failing as it was intended to fail isn't it?

Dollar General is pretty hardcore. They, like Walmart, are focusing on dominating rural areas. Dollar General can move into towns as small as a few hundred people and make a go of it. We have a couple of them locally in such small towns. It seems that if there is 20 miles or more from the nearest large town with a Walmart, they put in a Dollar General and do a steady business. In most of these towns, Walmart and their supply chain had put the other businesses out of business. So in the retail sector in many areas of America, you are starting to see Walmarts in towns over 10,000 and Dollar Generals sprinkled every 20-30 miles between the Walmarts.
Their big focus on expanding in rural America notwithstanding, Dollar General seems very scrappy, very determined to stay in urban low-income areas if possible.
I don't like all their policies on stocking and grocery choice but they're better than just having Walmart and convenience stores and almost nothing else in these rural towns.

I heard on the radio the other day that the Dollar General on Wayne Ave was closing. I'm kinda surprised since there isn't much else around there that you can buy goods like they carry?

Well, sometimes there are neighborhoods that are just too toxic for any chain store. Then all you have left is liquor stores, check cashing joints, tattoo shops, massage parlors and bail bondsmen.
