Virginia Man Charged for Shooting Burglars

An employee of a smoke shop in Arlington, VA is being held without bail facing felony charges for using a gun to defend his place of business during an early morning break-in and burglary.  Tom Roussey of WJLA reports that 31-year-old Hamzeh Abushariah was sleeping in a back room when he was startled awake by three burglars breaking into the store at 4:53 am Sunday.  He grabbed the gun the store’s owner had purchased to protect the business from burglars, and confronted the suspects, shooting one.  All three managed to escape.  The employee was staying in the store to save money and avoid the corona virus, which had infected residents of his D.C. apartment complex.   Newly elected Arlington Commonwealth Attorney Parisa Dehghani-Taft has not yet charged the burglary suspects, but Abushariah was immediately arrested and charged.  Dehghani-Taft, a progressive who received over $620,000 from liberal hedge fund billionaire George Soros, was elected last November after knocking off incumbent Theo Stamos in the June primary.  Stamos raised just over $161,000.  Dehghani-Taft’s election is just the latest win for Soros-funded progressive (read pro-criminal) District Attorneys across the country.  The Soros funds are funneled through PACs such as New York Justice and Public Safety PAC, which have been set up in several states to give directly to selected candidates and run campaign ads on TV and radio.
