Must have been a slow thief.............

A would-be car thief picked the wrong ride to steal - and it cost him his life.
Yaosse Agbokou, 50, was choked to death when ex-Marine Daillard Paris caught him trying to steal his Nissan Altima in Queens Saturday night, police said.
Paris, 28, who is 6-feet-3 and weighs 240 pounds, was questioned by cops. But he was not charged in the death, which the medical examiner ruled a homicide caused by "compression of the neck."

That’s former Marine, not “ex-Marine”.
Yep!
I didn’t write the story.
Beat me to it.
I’ve heard of suicide by cop, but not Darwin award by Marine.
Must have been a slow thief.............
“[Agbokou] was trying to drive off, but the car was stuck in the snow,” said Francis, who added that he had spoken to Paris. “He’s a good person who was mixed up in a messed-up situation.”
Don’t you just love it when the perps family comes out and says ‘he was good boy.’ /s
Points out the deference between law enforcement training and military training .... The difference between detaining a suspect and neutralizing a threat.
“Cops first said Agbokou “became disoriented” and lost consciousness while cops were placing him in custody. They later denied arresting him.”
Yea, I believe it, sure, I believe it.
I didn’t see any quotes from the perp’s family...
We’ve had Epic Beard Guy and now we have Epic Muscled Marine creating an executive outcome by also taking out the trash with his bare hands!
Cops, lawyers, and judges now have less job security because of one less criminal on the street.
The family will be quoted with the familiar words like “He was turning his life around, had a job, was going to school” blah blah blah.
At 6’3” 240...I bet he only used one hand.
I think the comment was referring to the victim (the car owner). It was made by his friend, to whom he planned to sell the car.
It's true, though, that (female) relatives invariably show up when some young thug gets it, saying what a great guy he was.
I wonder if the press would be so exuberant if it were a white marine that killed a black car thief?
‘I didn’t see any quotes from the perp’s family...’
My bad, that was the friend of the owner but I’m sure if they interview the family...
Allow me to translate: Agboukou was an illegal alien via visa overstay.
