Jessie said he understands Cesar made a bad choice to break into the store, but he didnt deserve to die for the mistake. He said he wont rest until justice is served.
Well take it civil, but either way hes gonna get justice. What he did was in the wrong. He knows hes in the wrong. He has to live with that and sleep with that. And honestly I just cant wait until he gets justice, Jessie said.
And then there is what actually happened...
According to his lawyer, a Walla Walla store owner who shot and killed a known gang member trying to break into the store was defending his property.
John Saul, owner of New York Store, told his lawyer that he came out to the front of the store early Friday morning after he heard the sound of glass breaking.
Saul, who lives on the property on Isaacs Avenue, confronted Cesar Chavira, 22, and told him to "hold it".
Michael Hubbard, Saul's lawyer, told KAPP/KVEW Chavira said "I'm gonna kill you", and Saul responded by shooting him with his shotgun.
The Walla Walla County Sheriff's Office said deputies are still investigating the case.
Hubbard said the Walla Walla County Prosecutor told him there are no charges pending and is not expecting to charge Saul with any crimes.
Saul opened the store the same morning of the shooting and has been operating the store since.
The Sheriff's Office said Chavira was a known gang member in the community and had a history of criminal activity in Walla Walla and Milton-Freewater.
Lieutenant Briggs: Suppose they panic and start shooting?
Harry Callahan: Nothing wrong with shooting as long as the right people get shot!

It all depends on your perspective:
“Another child victim of senseless gun violence”: dhims
“Another dead punk” the rest of us.
hmm...seems to me justice has already been served.
In other words, these are symptoms of a very dangerous situation that has been carefully developed by our enemies.
The increasing frequency of these incidents is a very, very unfortunate sign. People better start waking up. (Not here, I mean generally. Most people at Free Republic are well aware of how these incidents have been promoted.)

If these people really wanted justice, they’d stop committing crimes. Why is that so hard to understand?
All we are saying
is give crime a break.
We pay taxes, support the law, raise our families, support our communities, and now we’re expected to be willing crime victims.
I’m going to fall back on the trusty, old Founders test. WOuld the Founders have agreed to establish the U.S. had they known eventually it would be possibly illegal ëxcessive force” to kill someone for breaking into or attempting to break into your property? Hell no.
I have no sympathy for a criminal stupid enough to say, “I’m going to kill you” to a guy armed with a shotgun. John Saul deserves a medal.
Which will lead to lots of more otherwise law-abiding people calling "Winston Wolfe".
I would love to see the store owner SUE the people who are protesting outside of his store as well as the money sources behind these groups. Isn’t this a form of harassment of a victim who defended his life? What happened to the victims’ rights groups? The store owner is being harassed for using self-defense. This is a new form of outrage. A lawsuit would open up a new line of inquiry in the courts.
Crime's a dangerous occupation...
Maybe the idiots with the protest signs should tell the kids coming up that when you threaten to harm an innocent citizen, you might get shot'...
Justice was located center mass and marked for future reference.
Every time I see one of these little protests, I’m moved to ask where the 10s of thousands of law-abiding citizens are, that should dwarf them 1000 to 1.
That’s the only thing that will put an end to this. Just swamp these gutter-snipes 1000 to 1 out there.
Th enabler family is no doubt waiting for their ghetto lottery.
I guess the punk took the short cut.

Justice=gettin' paid.
