On Friday, Jan. 9, at around 2 p.m. on a sunny afternoon, four armed individuals entered the shop and encountered Becky Bieker apparently alone behind the counter.
Based on ensuing events, it seems fair to surmise that their intent was robbery.
But whatever their plans may have been, they went awry when Jon Bieker, watching the store’s closed-circuit TV, saw his wife being brutally beaten and emerged from the rear portion of the store to protect and defend her.
The way events were reported by local print and broadcast media, “gunfire broke out”; “shots were fired”; “a shootout ensued”; in the process, three of the individuals were wounded; two were incapacitated and unable to flee, but one wounded robber and his unwounded accomplice fled and were arrested nearby in short order. But Jon Bieker, 44, was fatally wounded and succumbed within hours at a hospital.

The surviving robbers should be charged with first degree murder, convicted after a fair trial, and then executed. The world doesn’t need thugs like these guys.

Funny names for Amish folk.
From the article:
“Contributions to a memorial fund for Jon Bieker [and to help Becky with expenses] may be made through the Kansas State Rifle Association, at http://www.ksraweb.org/.";
Rest in peace, Jon. You did what any decent man would hope to do for his family in the same situation.

Amish moving west it seems
They have been charged with murder, among other things, but the District Attorney hasn't said if he's going to go for the death penalty.
Sure, an' they sound like some fine Amish lads!
Sickening. It is very unfortunate that each of these worthless scum suckers are not already dead.
Poor guy. I wonder what kind of gun he used defending his wife. And which gun would’ve been best when confronting four armed scumbags standing over your wife? Shotgun or an AR-15 with a 30-round magazine? The latter, opening with a head shot from concealment, then followed by rapid fire at the center of mass for each of the other three human filth (with any luck, it’d be over in a few seconds)? Or something else?
All four of them should hang.
From Missouri casenet, just adult records. Not a virgin in the bunch.

A real tragedy is that while Kansas has the death penalty on the books, its death row is full because they do not execute.
This is why they, and other states, should have the alternative means of a firing squad in their statutes. Not just because it is far more difficult to appeal, but because it is inexpensive and no special equipment or skills are required.
Agreed.
