So much truth in this.
Step off and let the adults talk.
I don’t have a problem with what he did. He sounds EXACTLY like my grandfather. He’s old enough to not give a fuck about the law. He’ll do what he feels is right, and will blow you away if you endanger himself or his family.
Notice how I’m on the man’s side, but how it doesn’t make his actions any more justifiable? Nobody’s feelings mean shit.
He shot a fleeing criminal on public property (assuming the alley is not part of his property), when he was no longer faced with any immediate danger. That’s grounds for murder, or manslaughter, even though it was the right thing to do.
Fucking American scum.
wait how does an 80 year old “chase” down someone in their late 20’s?
I need to learn his workout techs
Probably had something to do with being robbed previously and really not wanting it to happen again or for them to come back and murder him.
SRK is slowly surprising me though only one dumbass brought up the fact that it was wrong for the old guy to have a gun in the first place but hey that plebeian is usually off topic any way.
Because that someone is a woman.
Kind of think if I was 80, just had my home broken into for the fourth time, and was beaten so badly as to have my collar bone broken, I’d have reacted the same way. At least I’d know they wouldn’t be coming back to rob and beat me again.
Can’t say for sure, not actually being in the situation.
Didn’t even read this reply before I posted mine. Nice.
Cat Burglar not pregnant. Updated OP comment.
I’d read that. Tragic that a woman like that would be executed. Not as tragic as her actually being pregnant and giving birth, though.
You know what fuck it
More news comes out. They attempted to beat him to death. Fuck it. She deserved it
acutally this could be a movie, have her and the guy get killed in the alley but yet she still gives birth to a baby and someone finds it in the alley and raises it as their own who grows up and fights crime
Burglaries and home invasions happen a helluvalot there, especially in border towns. They just don’t make the news cuz nothing out of the ordinary happens, unlike this case…and the media may possibly be complicit in an effort to make the area seem more peaceful than the police there are stating.
Just because she deserved it though. Scenario sets up murder. Like that pharmacist in texas finishing off that robber.
Which means just because they deserved it, it doesn’t change the fact of murder.
Perhaps my question was a tad too hyperbolic, but I find it odd that the old man would still be in the right to pursue someone off his property and then kill the intruder, who had already surrendered.
I consider this a “heat of the moment” slaying. Dude was still in fight or flight mode. It’s not like he capped the stupid bint 20 minutes to a half-hour later. Had it been me, they wouldn’t have had time to flee after seeing the gun. It would already have been too late. I would have stealth-staggered my ass back to the room and unloaded 2 apiece. Dude first (being the most naturally physically capable of either offense or fleeing), then the chick. Sure one of them might have made it outside afterwards, but not much further before the police arrived, and it would have been legally justified with no gray area.
No fucking way this should be considered premeditated murder in the first degree. I don’t see the circumstances leading to more than a voluntary manslaughter charge considering the state of mind the man was in at the time immediately after being beaten and robbed. And I doubt he even gets charged with that. If he does, no way in hell a jury convicts him.
Pretty much.
The moral of the story is not to let burglars escape your house.
For those questioning how he chased down someone 60 years younger with a broken collar bone, its called the fight or flight response.
Also b00g go back to playing Ace Attorney. You might learn something. This isn’t pre-meditated murder. A pre-meditated crime is where it was planned to happen before it took place. Meditate as in intense inward thought, pre as in the prefix for past tense? Pre-meditated? Thinking about doing something before you do it? The only way this could be pre-meditated is if he was a future teller that knew exactly when he was going to be robbed, and instead of taking another course of action he decided on blasting the thieves away. That would be pre-meditated. Grabbing a gun in response to being assaulted is not pre-meditation. That is a stressed response. He clearly couldnt take them in a physical fight, so he needed a weapon. He didnt buy that gun for nothing.
Attacking and injuring an old man is pretty low in itself, but lying about being pregnant to save your own skin when the tables turn is really disappointing.
Future generations will laugh at the coward who left her for dead.
