It is unbelievable to me those that support what this guy did, (ultimately protecting his property), turn around and tolerate police hauling him off to jail??!!
I guess they feel, if you find yourself in a position where you have to defend yourself or your property and use deadly force...its totally acceptable for police to treat you like a criminal and put you in jail, (so you can go before a judge)...is this not ridiculous or what? LOL
Our rights do not come from govt or the courts anyway, so its technically wrong to require a guy that did this, to go before a judge, to explain what he did, (and be treated like a criminal in the process)
But don't we keep hearing how the courts are so lenient on crime? Would this guy even do jail time? Or are the courts only lenient on criminals? One gets the impression that the use of guns in the committing of a felony seems to be ignored. But then again, did this guy commit a true felony? He certainly went overboard. I must admit I find it hard to equate killing a criminal with being a crime. Then again, it was only shoplifting so was he actually a criminal?
Yeah, this clerk needs to go to jail. Any time you shoot at people running away like that you're going to get fried. Honestly, the only time i think it should be justified is when it's somebody caught stealing a car because a car is an invaluable tool for most everyday americans that need to get back and forth to work. Outside of something like that, you don't run up and execute somebody over some Red Bulls.
Two facts:
Do something illegal and expect to be accountable to the courts.
The murderer is accountable.
True: gun responsible person's are few and far between.
Bottom line, an alledged shoplifter was killed. Cuz gosh golly every person who takes items without paying is innocent til proven guilty. SMH.
Heres a another fact for you though. We have a society which is not holding people accountable in the courts who do stuff that is illegal.....for instance shoplifting and taking things from stores. In how many states are we seeing the authorities saying just let it go. When those we pay to protect us and our property fail to act, and advertise that they are not going to act who then will protect us from harm and the things we own. The answer is simple NO ONE accept yourself.
Is this crime worthy of a death sentence, no but i have zero sympathy for the thief any time you commit a crime you are putting your life at risk. I blame those cities and states not enforcing the laws for things like this. People will only take so much before they will just shoot for crimes we once considered minor. You only bend over so long before you say "forget this" and act.
If it were a white man shooting a black man there would be riots.
