A minor detail missing from the story: The lieutenant fired his weapon at the teen, who was trying to run him over with the vehicle, authorities said.

I'm sure failing to mention that the thug was trying to murder the lieutenant was simply an oversight on the part of the author...right?

She says she hasn’t given up hope of getting justice for her brother

Justice was already served!

This must be the 50th article I’ve read where a Black mom or siblings denounce a Black thug’s death and say he should have been allowed to commit certain crimes

“When has it ever become legal to shoot someone because they’re pulling off in your car?

When it was your horse (mode of transportation), you gathered a posse, hunted down the guy, and HUNG him on the spot.

It’s still legal to hang cattle thieves, in Texas.

I notice the paper has turned off comments on this story.

The yellow-haired lady was buried at sunset;
The stranger went free, of course.
You can’t hang a man for killing a woman,
who’s trying to steal his horse.

Maybe she’ll make a PSA discouraging young people from boosting cars?

Nah, that makes too much sense.
