That's what he said.
He reported a home invasion to the police exactly once.
He had no criminal record prior to this.
Neither did Haile Kifer.
The perps, indeed, had multiple B&E’s.
Actually, the police investigation turned up evidence of one other B&E, so if by "multiple" you mean "two", sure.
Under your rubric, had he called the cops and let her bleed out, he’d have been fine.
No, under the law, he shouldn't have shot her at all.
But even if the boy had bled out by the time the cops came, it would have shown that he tried to save the boy's life, regardless of the outcome.
The message from all of this is: The perps win.
They are both dead. They won nothing.
Had they lived, they would have "won" at least two burglary convictions.
This guy is going to jail because he was a bad shot.
He is going to jail because he is a murderer.
He was a perfectly good shot. He began by shooting two slim, unarmed people from a middle distance - and his first shot for each one was a killshot for each one, inflicting center mass wounds that were both mortal without intensive medical treatment.
He followed up with two point blank rifle shots to the chest of each one.
Then he took a couple of extra shots for fun.
Every shot he fired inflicted a wound that would have been deadly, and not one shot that he fired missed.
How many times do you have to be invaded before your allowed any anger at having your personal security forever compromised in the place you call your home?
He reported one, but had claimed others, before this last one on Thanksgiving.
We’ve had three home invasions on our block. Three. In one they tied up a 79 year old couple to a chair and left them there for two days before someone found them.
Heads on sticks, because all jail is today is secondary education for petty criminals to become journeyman criminals.
