We should all call the tip line and offer a tidbit of advice:

He shot a criminal. One less criminal is now on the streets. He did your job because you either refused or were incapable at the time. Criminalizing his defense of life and property is in itself a crime and you only further empower criminals to enact crimes by defending them, rather than the victims.

Negative. If he killed someone over a car, he should be punished accordingly. If he truly was in fear for his life or his girlfriends life, I pray his actions are ruled justifiable.

Read my statement again.

Defense of life and property.

Those should be justifiable reasons. If you disagree, I really don't care.

Again, you do not know the whole story. Calling the PD with that ridiculous line you posted above will do nothing. If he killed someone for breaking in his car and was not in fear for his life he should be prosecuted accordingly.



I don't know what happened, time will tell.

Honestly, sometimes I think these guys make some of this s**t up on-the-fly.

I've read some real stumpers around here myself. Best just to ask in a PM or do an "urban dictionary" type search on the internetz.

AFAIK (As far as I know), Jim made it up on the fly. Being a Texan, though, I immediately "translated" it. I can see how others may have problems with understanding it without a scorecard.

No intention to insult anyone here, I was just trying to point out the meaning. I probably did that poorly. Sorry about that.

The robber was in possesion of a brick which was in his pocket. The shooter fired twice at the robber when he was in front of the car missing him both times. Then when the robber was running away the shooter fired three more shots striking the individual in the backand killling him. Both the shooter and the girlfriend lied to police about what happened(conflicting statements). On a side note the robber had been breaking into cars in the area for the past three months. SoI say good riddance to the robber but the shooter doesneed to be charged.Whatever "threat" there was before, it was not present as the robber was running away leaving no justification for killing said robber.

Where did you find this information. I don't remember seeing it in any articles.

My supposition here is that they have some inside info, and thus "anonymous" but that is just my guess, since I do NOT have any inside info lol

Yeah, you have to wonder about first time posters that speak authoritatively :^).
