He was robbed in October of GUNS, gold, and cash. Guns were in the basement. He may have initially assumed that they were armed, given that “they” stole guns in October (they knew to head directly to the basement...so may well have been involved and returning for more loot).
It was probably self defense initially, the rest was retribution for the original crime. If they were guilty of the original robbery (likely)...they were truly stupid, white trash druggies. You might get away with robbing someone who has a bunch of guns ONCE...but have to be a complete idiot to try it a second time.
How stupid do you have to be to say that to law enforcement investigators?
He should do serious jail time for stupidity alone.
The correct statement is, “It happened so quick... I was scared to death and just kept shooting. I need to talk to my lawyer now.”
Nope. That's what they have criminalists for. If his statement is truthful, he's toast. Given the likely physical evidence, there is no story he could have given that would have left him in the clear. Outside chance of insanity, but that's about it.
His best option was Home Depot bright and early Black Friday. Saws! Contractor cleanup bags! Detergents. Bleach!! (Just ask Det. Fuhrman.) And, of course, silence! Stone wall silence!
I think it would be fair enough to ask some sort of work from those on welfare, but in the current state of affairs, the unions would either demand membership or have a sh*tfit, there would be an ungodly number of victim claims for harassment or whatever, and actually getting any work done on Uncle Sam's Plantation would be tough, unless it involved an opportunity to rip someone/something off.
Even getting these people to clean up their own neighborhoods might be a challenge. Granted, not all would be that way, but I'd wager a significant number would.
Winston Wolfe. "I solve problems."
And, I dare say, Mr Smith's problem was probably a lot easier than the one Mr Wolfe was called upon to solve. Less mess (probably). And less time pressure ... Although, on the other hand, Mr Smith's problem was real, whereas Mr Wolfe's was merely in the mind of Quentin Tarentino.
Look at MaxMax, who apparently believes that if someone breaks into his home in the dark and wakes him up, he will be able to get off a killing head shot at a moving target. No one who actually knows how to handle a firearm thinks this way. Not even if they are an expert marksman. That's a cinematic mindset, to put it mildly.
There's one question I have about this incident: the psycho's supporters keep repeating that he had been burgled 8 times previously. Is this documented? Or is this simply another aspect of his story?
That scumbag had plenty of boosters here as well.
Only one was reported to police and of course there is no evidence that these kids were involved.
But you see he was a gunowner. That gives him immediate "conservative" status.
He then offed two people in his home. That gives him even more "conservative" credibility.
By those standards serial killers should be the heroes of all gunowning conservatives.
What makes these people think that liberals don't own guns and don't use them.
Hmm. I assume that was the one which reported "guns, gold and cash" as stolen.
Some preppers (certainly not all) advise their compatriots to fraudulently report theft of firearms and gold in order to conceal them from confiscating authorities when the "SHTF."
I wonder if he had ever been burgled.
But you see he was a gunowner. That gives him immediate "conservative" status.
But it's all so confusing.
He is a retired federal law enforcement officer, so he's a "JBT" and we're supposed to hate him.
But he also sounds like a prepper, so we're supposed to love him.
All kidding aside, his story obviously does not hold water and his behavior is clearly beneath contempt.
It is frightening that he has so many supporters here, on a moral level.
It is also frightening on a practical level - championing filth like this is exactly the kind of thing that creates popular antagonism to our 2A.
Even the sherriff says the yutes were in the process of burglarizing. That’s not disputable.
Some Skittle fans are suggesting something different. (possibly delivering Thanksgiving day ‘Meals on Wheels’?)
The sherriff says they broke and entered.
While they were probably burgling him before he murdered them in cold blood, sometimes a teenage boy and a teenage girl have been known to sneak into a home that they think is empty for purposes besides burgling.
Yep, and that guy is serving life now, on a 1st degree murder conviction.
Man, he was a creepy guy.
And a $1M+ insurance policy, as well as the names of at least 2 defense attorneys on retainer who have agreed to take your case in such a situation.
What I laugh at the most is how many people are on the run. Assaulted for their color (white), assaulted for their religion (Christian), assaulted for their riches (they worked their asses off and life for), assaulted for their core beliefs, assaulted for their heterosexuality (monogamous), assaulted on EVERY FRONT, who STILL want to hang on to something that IS ALREADY GONE. Don’t wait for a total STHF scenario where it somehow “makes” it ok to slaughter the wastrels stealing away YOUR life. The WAR IS ON. Yeah, let us try and “hold on”. That is what I want for my kids and grandkids. If you don’t make a stand you just leave it for them to fight. When I think about my kids or grandkids being slaughtered because they tried to hold on to “civilization”. Well... I’d just soon as not leave it for them.
And sometimes they get shot for their EFFORT. Stop making excuses for people who, aided by sh+! for brains enablers like yourself, got something they ACTUALLY DESERVED.
Yeah - the usual delivery method is slipping in/breaking a window and crawling through...
Yet another example of the “Trayvon Martin treatment”...
A couple of corrupt punk kids are shot dead upon breaking into a man’s home (a man who had been victimized repeatedly), and are made into some “sweet kids”... completely ignoring the reality of their chosen lives.
Trayvon was a gangsta wannabe who spoke and acted like a crack-headed thug.
These two so-called “victims” were following the same life plan as Trayvon and they too paid the price with their lives.
So now, society has to make an older fellow who was pushed over the edge of sanity by being victimized, into some deranged killer.
Knowing the law isn’t normally important, self defense covers most normal person’s actions, and there is no law that protects psychotic killers, like this guy is, or that druggist in Oklahoma.
