1 / 26 W.L.T. Littleton, pastor of the Greater Morning Star Baptist Church, walks away after retrieving a handgun from his vehicle and giving it to an investigator as New Orleans police work the scene of a shooting outside the church on Vallette Street on Wednesday,
Was the suspected copper thief actually a copper thief or misidentified as such?
Since it was a church, maybe it was a copper clapper caper.
He was probably a copper thief- churches down here in FL have been plagued by people destroying air conditioners just to get at the copper tubing.
Thieves destroyed two of our church’s brand new AC units worth several thousand bucks just to make a little on the stolen copper. They hit a bunch of churches over a few days in two or three counties.
A guy really ought to be able to shoot thieves. I view it as a disincentive for future acts.
Does the Lincoln belong to the cop or the preacher?
Thanks. I have not seen that in awhile. Always good for a laugh.
Only in Texas.
In Virginia we have a “duty to retreat”, I can’t legally shoot until I’m cornered.
Most likely the Preacher.
If it was night, can you shoot a copper thief in Louisiana?
Indeed, criminals dying in the commission of their crimes (at the hands of their intended victims) isn’t a bad thing.
That goes for rioters and looters especially.
Oddly, some of the same people I’ve encountered who maintain that you should not be able to kill a criminal in the commission of a crime over mere property will, when pressed on abortion, finally fall back on her body:her property.
Sounds to me like the Pastor deserves a commendation rather than jail time.
Ain’t that the truth?!
Awww I don’t think that’s funny.
Guess that makes me a copper clapper caper carper!
lol
Wow!
Thieves are now considered “protected class”.
Well, those snowball stands must make pretty good money in the ‘hood.
Unbelievable. The prosecutors and cops are worse than the criminals. They ARE the criminals.
Whoever wrote this isn’t local. Louisiana only has Snoball stands, not snowball stands.
