WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. - Admitted thieves are going free, while an elderly Wheat Ridge man is facing the possibility of spending the rest of his life behind bars, all, he says, for trying to defend his property and his life.
82-year-old Robert Wallace said in February that he looked out his window and saw two men hooking his flatbed trailer up to their pickup. He yelled at them to stop, but they sped away, stealing his trailer. He told police he fired two shots at the pickup.
Minutes later, police say 32-year-old Damacio Torres dropped 28-year-old Alvaro Cardona off at a hospital emergency room with a gunshot wound to the face

Must be an alternate universe...
What a load of BS! The elderly man should get a medal - not jail.
It is payback time! We not have the first post-American President, and he is making up for lost time.
White male? Is this more of the Justice Dept memo...go after the white man?
1) Take everything they own and give it to Mr. Wallace.
2) Make them buy him some new ammo.
3) Deport them.
I dont think a jury will convict the homeowner.
The DA needs to be voted out of office. Or recalled, if that is possible in CO.
Everybody is missing the main point - Damn good shot!
I agree with one and two but forget the deport stuff. they will just return. eliminate the vermin instead.
2.5) Make them clean his gun.
Hopefully it will be jury nullification and then tar and feathers for the DA.
Here is the DA you need to contact:
Scott Storey
District Attorney
500 Jefferson County Parkway
Golden, CO 80401
303-271-6800
or email him at http://www.co.jefferson.co.us/da/da_T99_R94.htm
These District Attorneys who decide to cross the line and charge these heroes protecting themselves need to be targeted in elections and defeated. This DA has no right to charge this man with murder for protecting himself and his property.
I hope word gets out about this left wing fanatic throughout that County and a recall is started or he is voted out of office next election.
The DA is a Republican.
“The DA is a Republican.”
Does not matter the DA should be gone he is slime for bring these charges and with no charges for the real scum.
I thank God every time I hear one of these stories that I live in Texas and have the absolute right to protect my life, family and property by deadly means if necessary.
If the prosecutor is full of $#!+ you must acquit.
Jefferson County DA’s Office.
Be respectful (a tall order):
District Attorney
500 Jefferson County Parkway
Golden, CO 80401
303-271-6800

BUMP!
For what? Upholding the law?
If more people upheld the law, the illegals probably wouldn't have been there in the first place!
No..in this case, it's the law that's the problem. That needs to be changed. I don't want an executive branch that decides what it wants to enforce and what to ignore. Make our legislators responsible for the idiocy they pass.
