Janitor in fatal shooting of two Milwaukee teens has gun permit
Milwaukee J-S ^ | 15 mar 2014 | Bruce Vielmetti

The attorney for a maintenance worker who fatally shot two teens police say were attacking him with a baseball bat Wednesday said his client carried a gun because of the nature and location of his work, but is not a gun rights activist or even a hunter.

"He considers it an occupational necessity" to carry a gun and has a permit to do so, the lawyer, David Geraghty, said Friday. He represents Jeremy Rossetto, 39, of Cudahy, who was released from jail Friday after initially being arrested on possible homicide charges after the incident.

Prosecutors ordered Rossetto released without bail, but they will continue investigating the circumstances and don't expect a decision soon on whether Rossetto will face formal charges.

"We feel pretty confident it was self-defense," Geraghty said.

Police say Anmarie Miller, 17, and James Bell Jr., 19, both of Milwaukee, were killed. Rossetto and a 20-year-old man who was with the teens, Clarence Alls, were arrested. Rossetto was treated for injuries he suffered in the attack. Alls was also released from jail Friday, prosecutors said, without being charged.

I’d imagine the muzzle flash of a .40 is as bright as the sun when it’s at point blank range and pointed in your direction.

Oddly, it's not. Equilibrium flame temp of powder emits at about 2800k, Sun's about 5300k. Of course that probably wouldn't be what would cross their minds at a time like that...But keeping to the Light of the Son would have been a brighter future. Not that I'm particularly religious or anything, just sayin'...there was a choice made.

I pray for the safety of the maintenance man. Now that his name is out, there is no telling what the thugs in Milwaukee might do.

The Chicago and Milwaukee thugs get to Madistan by any means possible. Luckily, we do NOT have high-speed rail, but that’s not for lack of trying by the LibTards in this town!

Yes, it is. Words cannot express the OUTRAGE many of us are feeling! But, of course, the local Enemy Media glosses over the horrific details.

The latest? Madistan’s Police Chief says, ‘Have a plan for this kind of event.’

It’s like we’re supposed to ‘plan’ for a home invasion like we would a tornado or a blizzard! Good God, Man!

Of course, I have a plan. ;)

Clarence Alls should be charged with murder.
