That’s a shame....

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.

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

No telling how many catalytic converters have now been saved.

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.

He should've called the cops to report a crime that would've been totally ignored.

I just spent $800 replacing catalytic converters on a Ford Ranger that isn’t worth much more. And I got away cheap.

“The victim was identified by the medical examiner as Brent Peltomaa, 40.”

To me a ‘victim’ is a babe trying to get to her car in downtown Cleveland after working a shift at the hospital, not someone cutting off a Catalytic Converter.

If the shooter wasn’t already felon, he’d be scot-free in my book, but in this case, I’d probably vote to send him up the river.

Repair shops ripping off people just as bad as the thieves. $1,000-$2,000+ ??? A Magnaflow converter for my rig is $149. Maybe $50 labor.
