There’s been a couple of these posts recently. Good stuff.
This should be legal.
He was standing his ground.
He should plead temporary insanity?
“Here’s hoping that Defoe recovers...”
No.
Hey, the thief was an aspiring rapper
There will never be 12 people in Florida to convict. It would have helped if the shooter weren’t obviously Moslem... Anyone else would have been a waste to procecute. People have had enough of this kind of nonsense
3 18 packs! Maybe he was thirsty?
Remember when criminals were locked away?
Maybe he was going to give the beer to flood victims?
I wonder if Defoe cooperates and presses charges.
I got a feeling he won’t. Probably not a good idea.
I think we are starting to see some vigilante things, I don’t support that but I do understand. Courts have been slapping people on the wrist and turning them loose like a revolving door for years. In some areas LEOs are reluctant to do their job because they know it is usually a waste of time.
The store owner may be a nut job or he just may be fed up from years of nothing happening to bad guys.
It is ridiculous to assume that unless there is bodily harm, one cannot protect their property or deter thieves, that we have to wait till there is death or injury. Is there any “right” to protect property from outright theft? Can anyone walk into any business establishment and walk away with anything as long as he can get away with it?
So a “brazen thief, Defoe — a multiple felon”... clearly presented no danger to either Hasan or Rahman. How does anyone know who wasn’t there know whether he was a threat or not? The guy walks out of a store in broad daylight with the store personnel following with his arms full of three cases of beer... maybe it looked like he was reaching for a gun when he put the beer down?
I have seen multiple incidents of people stealing booze from our local Fred Meyers and the clerks don’t even try to stop them these days.
“..Rennie Defoe, 43, of Plant City,..” The strawberry capital of the world.
OK, carry on..
. o O (It looked like the car was going towards someone who was walking along the street, I only had seconds to decide if I’d let them kill that person or not...)
Get a good defense attorney and explore all the laws, FL could be like California and they could claim PTSD from previous robberies requires them to be diverted to therapy rather than charged with a crime. (and in California, the judge would be required to allow it and vacate the charge when diversion therapy was completed.)
(bully Brown) stealing and threatening the store owner at the same time...since he is black it is okay...wonder if video, (Rennie Defoe Jr.) will cause the same unbalanced uproar Browns actions did....Defoe is a common thief....Or, just do it in Texas.
The law is wrong, and immoral.
What kind of beer?
