Rid the world of criminals and you dont have to worry about it! Ok so the guy waited too long to kill him, either way he doesnt commit another crime again, problem solved.

bingo


AMEN!!! we are always looking to aid the criminals and punish the vicims. so the guy should have shot him sooner. either way he did what he saw fit at the time. its ez being on the outside looking in and saying oh he should have done this or i would have done that. to fact is you dont know who you would have reacted until your faced with the same situation. Too many bleeding hearts in America. The guy was a criminal plain and simple. Justice served. Rather the scum bag die then live off my dime. there already anough of that garbage going around with people that arn't criminals.

 

To clarify things, the thug did not break into Richards house, the thug was

trying to steal Richards Bronco for parts. On a further note, Richard shot the

thug in the side.

 

Boris, you know this Richard guy?

 

What got Richard in trouble was chasing the thug down, then shooting him.

If the shooting would had taken place at the scene, it may have had a

different out come, as the thug had a screw driver and I believe a mallet in

his hand at the time.

 

Read post #35 in this thread.

I would fear the guy coming back with more of his friends and possible when I'm not there. This leaves my wife and three small children. I'm not sure what I would have done. Maybe drag him back to my house and wait for the police. It's only a 1/4 mile.

 

What's done is done, right or wrong. Two bad decisions were made, one by the perp the other by the victim. I don't have a problem with there being one less parasite on the earth, I do, however, have a problem with the way he was killed. While we honor our Vets in the highest regard, we also have to realize that the war isn't necessarily over for them once they return home. Many will need help to restore the lives they knew before being in combat, I know this because my Uncles that served in WW2 and close friends who served in Vietnam struggled and still struggle with the scars from these events.

I am no expert by any means, but this fellow Richard needs more than a 2 year sentence to teach him a lesson. He needs counseling and support from his country and his countrymen. There shouldn't be any concern over cost, just the quality of the help he needs. Every Vet should have access to this type of help. These guys and gals are the reason our Nation is what it is, I can't imagine what it would be like without them.

Do I agree with his actions, as reported by the media? No, but I wasn't present during the altercation.
Am I happy with the outcome? It's a good lesson for those involved in crime...look for the fouled anchor and eagle and pick another house/car!

As for Richard, He needs to get some attention for his mental state and understand the laws of his place of residence. I don't know him personally but I imagine this event isn't going to help matters regarding getting him back on his feet and integrated back into society.

As for the perp, Mess with the bull....

Just my .02, Kurt

 

well put, kurt.

 

ahh, i somehow missed that post even though iv been following this thing

 

if it were allowed we'd sure have alot less crime, TRUE murders, and robberies...not to mention overcrowding in our prisons. the laws as they are today are a JOKE. ive never heard somone in india or the former USSR joke about going to prison for a better life because they wont work to make a decent living. we have repeat offenders in prison that have been there 2,3, 5, 10 times...cut that out at the first 1 or 2...problem solved. a .20 bullet sure saves me alot of tax dollars to put them up at a "hotel". and if you know your gonna get shot by either the vic or by the state...youd sure be alot less inclined to try and make a buck stealing wouldnt you? and you sure as heck wouldnt do it again if you did get shot would ya?

the way our own gov't protects the "rights" of criminals is deplorable...thank GOD i live in texas where they allow us to defend ourselves and our homes.

 

^^^^ Agree^^^^

 

The shooter only made one mistake, he didn't dispose of the body...

No body, no crime...

 

LOL... Classic!!

 

Something to think about...
"Richard, a Department of Energy nuclear materials courier with top security clearance, found Romero in his garage and chased him a quarter mile from his property before shooting him as he tried to climb a fence."

DoD 5210.56 E2.1.2.2. states "Assets Involving National Security. When deadly force reasonably appears necessary to prevent the actual theft or sabotage of assets vital to national security. DoD assets shall be specifically designated as "vital to national security" only when their loss, damage, or compromise would seriously jeopardize the fulfillment of a national defense mission. Examples include nuclear weapons; nuclear command, control, and communications facilities; and designated restricted areas containing strategic operational assets, sensitive codes, or special access programs."

Don't ask me why he would have this stuff in his garage but one never knows.

 

bansh-eman, I use to work where Richard worked and am still in contact with his co-workers.
The information I have received was from Richard to his co-workers, my friends.

Boris

 

staarma,
that is surely a viable concern, however with the tight group he was with, he and his family would have had ample protection, as that was a concern here recently with one of the guys, his family and gang members. Friends, family and co-workers stood over this guys house day and night untill the threat was deminished.
