Gee by his mugshot he looked like a nice enough guy

[RickB444]

Yes, salt of the earth. Which is pretty much his function now.

[GeronL]

I take it the girlfriend was paying the rent? Or was it the taxpayers?

[SECURE AMERICA]

{Police say it was self defense}

GEE you think!

[pandoraou812]

Hmm least they were able to defend themselves. Here I would have to use a broom or depend on the dogs. At least the niece wasn't afraid to use the gun.

[Levante]

Looks like Sharp wasn’t too sharp.

KA-BOOM! KA-BOOM!

[Former Proud Canadian]

Looks are sometimes deceiving.

Roy Police Chief Greg Whinham said, "It's an indication they were warding off an attack by a person who they already feared, who had a no contact order, who had already been taken to jail earlier in the day because of his violent behavior."

Whatta police department, they get two tries and can't control this thug. It takes a 17 year old girl to do it for 'em.

Good shootin' sweetheart, don't forget to clean your gun, it'll still be there when the cops are a lifetime away.

“Police say Sharp has no prior record of domestic violence. We also talked to some people who knew them and say this was a complete surprise.”

Well, hopefully he’ll be given a lenient sentence with nor prior record, and being otherwise a nice young man. Based on other crimes of this type he should be able to get a two-year sentence, and out in one-year if he behaves himself.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Not only did the 17-year old gal prevent a rape or worse of her aunt, but also prevented a rape of our justice system.

[LibWhacker]

From another source:
Police say the girl fired two shots as the 37-year-old Sharp tried to attack her. One bullet hit Sharp in the chest and another hit the aunt in the arm.

Anyone who comes to the aid of another person can find himself in this situation... The attacker charges straight at you, thereby putting his original victim in the line of fire, in the background. What do you do? Just asking.

I think the young lady did the right thing, but don't know for certain; she also definitely put her aunt in danger of being shot as soon as she opened fire. I'd think the girl could've moved sideways as he charged or gotten down low to the ground to increase the angle between her aunt and the attacker... But in that case she'd be a shooter who was in motion and more likely to miss her shot... So I just don't know... Just asking.

Anyhow... All's well that ends well.

Roy Police Chief Greg Whinham said, "It's an indication they were warding off an attack by a person who they already feared, who had a no contact order, who had already been taken to jail earlier in the day because of his violent behavior."

Good thing she got that No Contact Order from the courts.

Good thing the police took him to jail.

Let’s face the facts the police and the courts are designed to punish after the fact and are of very limited use to prevent crimes from happening.

We are all essentially on our own; we have to be able to defend our selves because when second count the police are only minutes away.

The police were on their way the third time that day when the boyfriend was shot. You can not depend on the police when your life is in danger. If you do chances are you will die.

[PLMerite]

Oh, it’s Utah.

[Joe 6-pack]

"Police say Sharp has no prior record of domestic violence."

Joe 6-pack says Sharp has no future record of domestic violence either.

[Vendome]

So now he is no longer a viable life unit as it should be.

[SIDENET]

John Sharp, went to his girlfriend's house three times Thursday. All three times, police were called. It was after the third time that he was shot and killed.

Third time's a charm.
