A Montana couple frustrated by recent thefts allegedly set a trap for potential burglars—and upon hearing a would-be intruder after midnight on Sunday, the husband fired four shots into the darkness, he says. Now, Markus Kaarma of Missoula has been charged in the death of German exchange student Diren Dede, 17, who was hit by bullets in the head and arm, the AP reports. The couple had set up sensors and cameras around their garage, whose door they left open; Kaarma's wife, Janelle Pflager, left her purse there "so they would take it," she said, per court documents. She reportedly told police the couple had been robbed twice in three weeks.
Documents say Kaarma, 29, told a hairstylist last Wednesday that he'd been waiting three days for another burglary, shotgun at the ready, the Washington Post reports. "I’m just waiting to shoot some [obscenity] kid," he allegedly told the stylist at Great Clips, which ended up calling police over his profane language and unruly behavior, Raw Story reports. Kaarma was yesterday charged with one count of felony deliberate homicide; it's unclear why Diren was in the garage. Billings, Mont., saw a similar shooting hours before Missoula's: A homeowner shot a seminary student described as a "house guest" who was making a call in the garage. The student is expected to survive.
these charges are crazy
The criminals are now in charge of society - literally.
German, huh? Yeah, RIGHT.
“kept his mouth shut”
Yep. Just stick with. “I went into the garage and there was an intruder.”
By saying exchange student the writer implies that the shooter shot someone who lives in his home. But that’s not the case.
So what was the exchange student looking to exchange in someone else’s garage.
Yep. Just stick with. “I went into the garage and there was an intruder.”
If you set a trap, you’re guilty. Or, more precisely, if they can prove in a court of law that you set a trap...
He was, but you still shouldn’t be laying traps for people. That has virtually always been forbidden, in any law.
He's a Turkish invader of Germany.
These are the people who deal drugs, shoplift, apply for all manner of public benefits, and then say thanks by beating up your blond kid if he has committed the horrible crime of not being a Muslim.
These are the people who stabbed Theo Van Goeghe in the heart --literally (after shooting him five times on his bicycle).
Today's media a-holes are beyond being embarrassed by their own stupidity.
buying a gun for home defense is premeditation?
Is this the same court that gave a child molester 30 days?
Running his mouth at the hairdresser isn’t a good idea either.
Yet they use bait cars all the time
I don’t know. If I was a burglar, I’d be thinking twice now about robbing a place. The citizens are up in arms now, and laying in wait. What burglar is going to want to chance getting blown away by an armed citizenry. So they may go to jail. Dead is still dead, and the burglar will be dead even if the victim ends up in jail. Now, let me see, dead vs. jail. I’d rather not be dead.
I’m trying to muster up some sympathy for the deceased here, but it’s just not working. In fact this stupid grin seems to be all I’m capable of.
do you own a gun? do you plan to stop any home invasion with it? If yes - you have set a trap
Horse pucky. They deliberately set up an entire situation for the express purpose of luring and killing another person. Hang the bastard. This is not self defense or even defense of property. This kind of lunacy does great harm to the cause of those of us who are trying to preserve and defend the second amendment.
