This did not have a happy ending just like the mess in OKC didn’t. The perp lived. Now he is free to sue, we are paying his medical bills and we will pay to house and feed him. Lawler should have killed DeCosta.
What is wrong with people? Why can’t they shoot to kill these animals?
“Lawler leveled the Glock and fired once, hitting DeCosta in the groin.
“My intent was to stop him, not kill him,” Lawler said Monday. “I hope he’s OK, and hopefully he will be prosecuted.”
DeCosta was taken into police custody as soon as officers arrived and was taken to Aria Health’s Torresdale hospital to be treated for his injuries. He remained there Monday in critical condition, police said. The man, who has 21 prior arrests on charges including assault and theft, was expected to be charged with aggravated assault and related offenses for threatening Lawler and his girlfriend.”
Lawler , by shooting to injure, endangered people in the fture contacts that DeCosta will have after early release. Dead perps lowers the crime rate.
