Deputies: Man shot, killed burglary suspect in self-defense
Orlando Sentinel ^ | 6 March, 2009 | Bianca Prieto

A deadly shooting in an Orange County neighborhood was determined to be self-defense, according to information released this morning. Investigators say the shooter, 35-year-old Willie Busby, was cooperative during the investigation and was acting in self-defense when he shot a man on his mother's property Thursday afternoon. After the shooting, Busby ran into a patch of woods near the home at 1372 Claracona Road near Apopka. Deputies responded to the shooting around 2:57 p.m. and found 22-year-old Robert Howard dead. An arrest warrant had recently been issued for Howard's arrest in connection to an armed burglary case. Howard is alleged to have stolen an AK-47 assault rifle, an AR-15 assault rifle, a .45 caliber semi-automatic handgun and two shotguns. It's unclear where that burglary took place. Howard has a long criminal history that includes arrests for trespassing, loitering and several separate arrests for drug possession and intent to distribute charges. His most recent arrest was in November for trespassing. Busby, who does not have any arrests in Orange County, was not charged in connection to the shooting.

You’re not kidding, the article is missing any details.

A bad guy is history and that is a good place to start.

Obviously a troubled yute who was victimized by his old fashioned parents' outdated notions of discipline, and has been expressing his angst by accumulating a stockpile of pilfered weapons to use in defending his pharmaceutical business from criminals. It's a downright shame that his problem wasn't recognized in time for him to receive government paid psychological counseling before an armed vigilante shot him down like a rabid dog.

I don't know why the rest of you guys can't see that none of this was poor Howard's fault, it was all the fault of our failed society before Obamassiah came along to show us where we were wrong.

Thanks for the ping. Justice is most efficiently carried out whenever possible by the intended victim on the criminal.
