Now waiting for the stories about what a great guy Peltomaa was and how he was just getting his life back together. He was likely planning to go back to school to become a nuclear physicist, no doubt.

Wonder what they’d say if he “didn’t see” the thief and just drove away?

Sleeping in the truck, he had sufficient reason to believe that he was being attacked, and had the right to defend himself, fearing that his life was in danger in his temporary home. Should have protected his life that was in imminent danger, and stopped there.

But he did a few things that will certainly land him in the slammer.

The truck owner violated one of the prime rules. SSS. Never call the authorities; they are your enemy.

Looks like a great example of Social Justice that the “SJ warriors” are always talkin’ ‘bout.

If I am on that jury, no matter what evidence they have, I am going to vote not guilty.

As John Wayne said, sometimes a man has to let the badger loose.

I thought these catalytic converter thieves went after Hondas and Toyotas. What was the thief thinking, going after an F-150? Those owners will kill to defend their trucks.

Comparable to the rule that it’s always better to read the article closely before posting?
