Tom should shut up until he gets a lawyer.
Ultra stupid statement and action even if true. He'll end up losing his home over this at least.
Am I just A BIT over the top with that??
Bad shoot.
‘Don’t shoot me, I’m pregnant! I’m going to have a baby!’
Let’s see what the autopsy says..........even if she was, B&E is still B&E.
“She says, ‘Don’t shoot me, I’m pregnant! I’m going to have a baby!’ And I shot her anyway,” Greer told KNBC-TV.
Be interesting to how the libs out there will handle this one.
I recall when I moved into my house, my Friend who is a state trooper told me if someone broke into my home, make sure I don't shoot them in the back.
likely to be prosecuted but a temporary insanity defense should work after getting the crap stomped out of him by the two thugs.
From the article:
“her accomplice remains on the lam.”
LOL, Sasha has been reading too many 1950s detective novels.
The couple fled after he showed his revolver, but the woman was killed as she tried to run away.
And Tom Greer has no regrets about plugging the woman with two shots as she begged for her life.
He really screwed up. He could justify shooting “Baby Daddy” if he came back but the she-thug surrended and is still an object of sympathy.
His life is pretty much over.
Was she pregnant? The article only mentioned it 4 times.
While I am not defending the woman who was shot, I do think this one goes beyond self defense (assuming, of course, that the actual facts are as presented). If you pull a gun, and the assailant flees, you are NOT justified in shooting at that point. If he had shot while being tackled by the assailants, that’s a different story. If the assailant is fleeing, there’s no longer a threat to his life or well-being, so shooting seems to be an act of retribution, not one of self defense.
"I come back and they see me with a gun, and they run," he told the NBC affiliate.
The man took off but the woman stumbled in an alley behind the home. She pleaded for her life as Greer took aim and fired.
I'm not defending these thugs, but as others have said, this guy needs to shut up and find a good lawyer. Along with his statements, the fact that he shot her outside in the alley after they fled the house is not going to help his case.
In the end, I’ll bet he wishes he just let them finish robbing him. We all have something to learn from his folly: STFU
as much as I'm for air conditioning bad guys in the act, I would have a difficult time ventilating a visibly pregnant woman, who is pleading for her life......not to even mention she had her back to him
stick a fork in the geezer
This is cold on several levels
Should have shot her in the house. No problem whatsoever with that. Chasing her down and shooting her in the back is murder. I’d charge him in a heartbeat.
So he cold blooded killed a woman who was pregnant? This guy seems like he needs to die in prison. He didn’t kill her because he was in danger. They were running away. What sicko is going to defend this guy?
The home invaders had already earned a death penalty, by any means necessary. Too bad one of them got away.
