Does PA have the death penalty?
Mr idiot will now spend the rest of his life setting on death row, damn fool.
He’s like doritos - they’ll make more.
. . . . good!
But the price for shooting a cop remains the same. This guy will fry, if PA has the death penalty.

This happened in my area. I have a lot of questions about this. Freemansburg cops are a bunch hard asses. Not professional in my opinion. I would like to know why this perp shot the officer if he knew he was a cop. Was the cop out of uniform? There needs to be more info before I call for the perp to fry. This doesn’t add up to me.
“Court documents indicate the alleged gunman, 46-year-old George Hitcho Jr., had told Lasso to get off his property.”

Somebody better check. Is this guy a FReeper?
Cause I’ve read way too many replies from FReepers who have said they would do this if ever a cop shot their dog.
I wonder what the cop killers FReeper name is?
I already see that one of his kind has already posted on this thread.
Huh, a cop’s hard on for attacking dogs backfires on him.
This does point out to everyone who says ‘It’s coming here.’, why the riots in Britain won’t be coming here.
Put me on the jury!
Put me on the jury!
Why was this moron still running around loose ?
Or in other words, the dog owner didn’t take kindly to someone threatening the lives of his dogs while on his property...
Now imagine if some stranger pulled a gun on your daughter... and you had a shotgun.
Ain’t nothin’ different between the two. Dogs are part of the family (cats, birds, etc... too, but for some reason are less targeted).
This instance does not sound like an insane cop that needed to be dealt with....it sounds like the guy with the shotgun was the one that was insane.
This is how it usually happens. It’s not the cops that deserve it that get plugged, nor is it the average Joe that does the plugging. Cops get away with murder (just look at the Fullerton PD) all the time and then something like this happens where an A$$h##e offs someone that sounds like an OK cop.
However, if we did not live in a police state neither would be happening so it’s kind of like who cares anymore? Cops shouldn’t have the right to invade our property just based on some allegation of wrong doing and attack our dogs/property/persons at will and if they do then be prepared for this kind of thing to happen and for more and more people to not really care.
Support for cops is slipping away as more and more people get caught in the gears of the police state, either for revenue enhancement (traffic tickets at $500 a pop! and $100 for a parking ticket out here in CA) or some silly DV accusation by a PO’d wife/GF or some cops looking to work off a little roid-rage. That plus there is a growing part of the population that have no respect for the law what so ever, illegals and other minorities in particular. Means that more and more are not going to give a damn when someone pops another cop off as they are starting to look like part of the problem rather than part of the solution.
Having “domestic violence” calls trump a home owners constitutional rights is an encroachment
Mr. Hitchko is a frightening looking man.
As an aside, this involves some bad journalism, an important fact for everyone to consider. After looking at several of the “news” links, several things stand out.
1) The reporters are using words that vilify the shooter, and at the same time other words that sanctify the officer. No matter what the facts, this is not objective reporting, and should have been stopped by the editor.
2) Because of this bad journalism, a judge could easily agree to a defense motion for a change of venue, because it has tainted the jury pool. It gives an advantage to defense argument that he cannot receive a fair trial.
3) The judge might also agree that because of such bias by the press, that the trial will not be open to the public or the press. And the judge may now exclude other events that the reporters highlighted in the shooter’s past that would have been very relevant to the trial.
The bottom line is that this should be an open and shut case, but by their actions, the media may mitigate the punishment or could even result in a directed acquittal.
46-year-old George Hitcho Jr is very lucky up til now, in many burgs he would not make it to jail after offing a cop.
As it is he will likely cost us all a lot of money keeping his sorry ass in jail forever.
Sympathy and prayers for the officers family and soul.
