“Chased? Poor reporting & the victim ought to get a medal.”

I agree with you, but this will not go well for the victim in NY.

No doubt it's an unregisterd, and thus, illegal gun..also..the shooter probably has a record..likely several open warrants...

Let's face it..if you are out in that neighborhood at 4:00 in the morning...

I think it was black on black. Not that this justifies it, but I guess the thugs picked the wrong target. Ooops.

The owner shouldn’t have pursued them because from a legal point of view, this makes him subject to a serious level of felony. But when the press says “Mercedes,” it’s not a recent model, judging by the pics, and the owner may have been somebody who acquired it quite legitimately by working for it and was really mad when the thugs tried to take it away from him. Sometimes a person just can’t take it anymore, and the courts and the cops (especially under DeBlasio) are way too lenient with black on black crimes and he knew he’d never see the car again, so he probably just lost it.

Hope the courts are sympathetic now!

>"MB driver was a dope dealer,"

And if they freely sold drugs in the drug store again he would have had a respectable job!

How anyone can justify Nazi death squads kicking in doors and murdering US citizens in the middle of the night is astounding!

So you passed unconstitutional laws deciding upon pain of death, enslavement, robbery and brutality what medicines a person can or can't take and how they can and can't aquire them! There is no justice if the laws are unjust. Enjoy the ACA!

NASCAR is the ONLY good thing to come from prohibition! End it now.

No héros, but still a story with a happy ending. Three thugs off the street; 2 dead and 1 will go to prison for being a drug dealer.

If the Mercedes guy fired at them when they were in their own vehicle, and they were not threatening him, I don’t see how he can be blameless.

Thread from yesterday with over a 120 comments. Some discussion if there will
be a murder charged forthcoming.

I was trying to highlight the double standard that has emerged at Free Republic in recent months concerning police shootings.

In this case the context is two perps running away from a potential crime victim who is not a cop.

In the Comments, there is a high level of sympathy and a moderate level of support for the non-cop shooter.

There are no outraged Comments at all that condemn his decision to kill the two perps, and no Comments at all that demand he be severely punished.

Now, imagine if the shooter had been an off duty cop.

There would be dozens of Comments here screaming for the cop's head on the end of a stick.

If the shooter was an off duty cop, a lot of people at Free Republic would be demanding a First Degree Murder charge.

Conversely, if it were a cop, many would be here licking his boots.

See how that works?

Can you judge and discuss a situation on its own merits without sinking to the libtard argument mentality?

Omg who passed away and made you the boss

That's more applicable to you. All he did was mention that this was previously discussed.

I agree, if the populace wants to self medicate, I have no issue with it. But, drug dealers are killers and they are bad
