A woman has admitted that her husband was stealing from a truck in the middle of the night last week — but she's questioning why the owner fatally shot him.

Police in Tulsa, Oklahoma, are investigating what went down around 2:15 a.m. Wednesday in the area of the 9200 block of East 90th Street, the Broken Arrow Sentinel reported. A report from KOTV-DT indicates the fatal shooting happened near 91st and Mingo.

Lawson added to the station that "Blane was trying to get into the car, and that's when I saw the shot go off, and I saw the spark of the bullet, and Blane was able to start the car and speed down to me, and he was able to stop for me to get in."

She also told KJRH, "I don't understand why he was shot because there were two men and just him. Why not hold him at gunpoint? Or why not beat him up? Why shoot him and take my kid's dad away?"

Meth-heads obviously. Notice how the interviewer is trying to make you feel sympathy for the meth-head wife.

You’re the who determines the value of your life when you break into somebody’s property.

He had money for tattoos...

She was pretty bent out of shape on FB when someone stole her purse a few years ago....

“You’re the who determines the value of your life when you break into somebody’s property.”

---

When Democrats ask homeowners if property is worth taking someone’s life, they are asking the wrong person. They should be asking the thief if the property he is going to steal worth getting shot and possibly dying. The methhead and his wife should have thought about their eight lovely grandchildren BEFORE deciding to steal from the truck. Was it worth it?

In the video of the media interview above, the journalist hugging the methhead wife at the end was very touching./s

I was trying to see if Oklahoma law has more lenient rules regarding self defense at night like Texas does. I didn't see anything. It does say that you can use deadly force in self-defense if you are in fear for your life or bodily harm. But NOT for defense of property.

Hopefully the evidence will show that the criminal did pose a reasonable threat.

Don’t do the crime if you ain’t got the Eternity....

Actions have consequences you stupid beyotch.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Good question. He should have shot both of them.

I did some work out in a rural area. One of the places had a tall fence all around it. A big old 4x8 piece of plywood had “Nothing back here is worth your life” scrawled on it in red paint.

Here in Washington State the law states that deadly force is allowed in defense of a felony upon the slayer or anyone in the slayer’s presence. HOWEVER - that is what is written in the LAW. I guess that CASE LAW (not easy to look up) has determined that deadly force is only allowed in defense of fear of death or great bodily harm.

While it would suck to see somebody drive off with my truck with all of my tools that I make my living from, I’m not going to shoot them as they drive away or are just standing there. That’s not how it should be, but it is how it is.

From 20 to 30 years there are articles where law enforcement are quoted saying things like “This is the second shooting of a car thief in the county. Best not steal cars down here.” Not anymore.

There was a radio talk show host years ago in the Seattle area that spoke of theft as “life energy”. A person spends how many years to acquire that wealth. Yeah it might be insured, but it isn’t going to cover most of the cost, and the time to deal with it all. How much of one’s life energy has been stolen? And the criminal gets a slap on the wrist and is set free.

THE LAW:

Homicide—By other person—When justifiable.

Homicide is also justifiable when committed either:

(1) In the lawful defense of the slayer, or his or her husband, wife, parent, child, brother, or sister, or of any other person in his or her presence or company, when there is reasonable ground to apprehend a design on the part of the person slain to commit a felony or to do some great personal injury to the slayer or to any such person, and there is imminent danger of such design being accomplished;

or

(2) In the actual resistance of an attempt to commit a felony upon the slayer, in his or her presence, or upon or in a dwelling, or other place of abode, in which he or she is.

I’m not sure why that law is STILL on the books if it isn’t really true anymore.

It’s like these drug addicts (and somebody in that family is one) think they’re playing GTA and when they lose a round they have to start over. He’s dead, momma’s still ruined and on drugs, any kids/grandkids will be mind poisoned forever by momma spewing this same old nonsense.

I drove past a large farm/ranch yesterday.

Big sign by the road:

“All Lives Matter,

But not if you trespass on this property...”

The thief was arrested for assault and battery in 2010:

Disturbance At Tulsa Apartment Complex Lands Two In County Jail

September 15th 2010

Blane Hambrick, 25, was also arrested after he assaulted another resident of the complex with a crowbar.

Both were booked into the Tulsa County jail on variety of assault and battery complaints.

Back in the early 60s while attending a University seminar in political studies the assembled faculty made it clear to us students that in a system of relative values property was of little consequence compared to human life. Indeed, the impression was clearly laid that regard for the rights of property was somehow classist or racist.

Not long thereafter I personally witnessed the race riots in Newark, New Jersey in 1967 and I heard the cries from the left not to shoot arsonists and looters in mere defense of property. Since then we have progressed to the point that businesses today so fear our legal system that they will fire their own employees if they physically resist shoplifters in defense of their owners property.

Over these decades the defense of property has ceased to exist in many jurisdictions and in many situations.

While an individual's right to defend his own property has been increasingly diminished over these decades, that individual has commensurately been unable to look to his government to defend his threatened property. Worse, an individual who protects his property through self help might well find himself at the wrong end of the law.

As a green student in the 1960s, I instinctively felt that I was being pressured to accept a line of values which could lead to bad results. Marxism is a virus which certainly leads to pain and tears, sometimes it takes decades but eventually the cancer metastasizes.

Personal Property and defense of same are a bedrock of Western Civ.

People who say not deserve to become the slaves of Islamists.

>> but she’s questioning why the owner fatally shot him.

When the standard regard for another’s property & life is lowered, it’s reasonable for the disreputable to question the consequences of violating the older, unenforced standards.

Well, let's see...
