Mom (18) shoots intruder to protect son (3mo.)

<< < (4/6) > >>

armed and humorous:
Maybe.  How about the guy who ran the stop sign/light at Hwy 79 and Raymond Rd (a crime) and killed two people in the process.  He got placed in a diversion program (basically no penalty whatsoever) even though he had prior DUI and driving under suspension arrests/convictions.

Does anyone know if the Walgreens robbers were charged with murder after their accomplice was killed by that shoppper?

AAllen:
I'm going from memory here but I believe that was one of the charges.  That case did end in a plea deal so who knows what they actually are convicted of.

A&H here in Omaha we have a similar case were someone speeding ran a red light and caused a death, they got 7 days and community service.  That is for the vehicular manslaughter charge, family is very upset with the judge.

AAllen:

I would be too.  In fact if one of my family members were to be killed by someone flagrantly violating the law (meaning it was either intentional or repeated), that person might not have worry about their sentence (but I might have to worry about losing my CHP).  If the state isn't going to stop these people, or even punish them at all, what's the point in having any laws?

AAllen:
A&H That's it we just need the laws that are already on the books to be enforced, and these types of a slap on the wrist is not enforcement.
