Woman killed in dispute over political sign [Homeowner arrested for killing thief who stole Trump sign in Mount Vernon, Washington]
Fox 5 New York ^ | February 16, 2021

One Washington state woman is dead and another faces murder charges in an incident involving a political sign.

It happened in Mount Vernon, Washington on Saturday night. The Skagit County Sheriff's Office was called to a home on Big Lake Road about 5:25 p.m. for a report of a fight.

A second call came in a few minutes later with a man reporting that his friend had been shot.

Deputies found a 32-year-old woman dead in the driveway when they arrived at the home. The couple that lives there came out and spoke to the deputies, according to a news release.

Investigators say the victim and shooter didn't know each other but they determined that the incident began over the theft of a political sign.

Police did not release information about the sign but other residents, reacting to the crime on a local message board, say the woman had a Trump sign in the yard and the victim tried to take it.

55-year-old Angela Marie Conijn was booked into the county jail on 2nd-degree murder charges. It was unclear if she had a lawyer who could speak on her behalf.

A 58-year-old man, who was reported to be Conijn's husband, was arrested on assault charges.

Police did not release the name of the victim. They said the investigation was ongoing.

oh you can’t shoot if someone is trying to break down your front door with a wheel barrel after physically assaulting your husband and he fled inside the house?

hmmmmmmmmmm

Well not if you’re a Trump supporter. You’re suppose to just be attacked and murdered. Any attempt at self defense will get you fired, jailed and broke.

Well, it says they were called over a fight. So, while the fight may have started over a sign, stealing the sign Was not the cause of the shooting. It was because of the fight. How bad the fight was, they did not say.

I read the article as posted above....

Deceased was killed trying to take Trump sign.....per neighbors

So I did read beyond deadline.....but I didn’t go to link..

The article as posted seems to substantiate the headline.

I probably read beyond headlines more than 95% here but I do on occasion Just read headline .....admittedly ....I think I always qualify that

Is there something you’ve found....that justifies the killing......please share..

Here’s the Details:

Texas Penal Code Sec. 9.32 (a) A person is justified in using deadly force against another:
(1) if the actor would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.31; and (2) when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary: (A) to protect the actor against the other’s use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force; or (B) to prevent the other’s imminent commission of aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery. (b) The actor’s belief under Subsection (a)(2) that the deadly force was immediately necessary as described by that subdivision is presumed to be reasonable if the actor: (1) knew or had reason to believe that the person against whom the deadly force was used: (A) unlawfully and with force entered, or was attempting to enter unlawfully and with force, the actor’s occupied habitation, vehicle, or place of business or employment; (B) unlawfully and with force removed, or was attempting to remove unlawfully and with force, the actor from the actor’s habitation, vehicle, or place of business or employment; or (C) was committing or attempting to commit an offense described by Subsection (a)(2)(B); (2) did not provoke the person against whom the force was used; and (3) was not otherwise engaged in criminal activity, other than a Class C misdemeanor that is a violation of a law or ordinance regulating traffic at the time the force was used. (c) A person who has a right to be present at the location where the deadly force is used, who has not provoked the person against whom the deadly force is used, and who is not engaged in criminal activity at the time the deadly force is used is not required to retreat before using deadly force as described by this section. (d) For purposes of Subsection (a)(2), in determining whether an actor described by Subsection (c) reasonably believed that the use of deadly force was necessary, a finder of fact may not consider whether the actor failed to retreat.

From the article:

Outside, the other man and Cohee allegedly began beating on the Conijn’s front door with a wheelbarrow, documents state.

At that point, Angela Conijn allegedly exited the house and fired a gun toward the parked vehicle striking Cohee.

Cohee’s body was located about 50 feet from the residence and about 25 feet from the road, court documents state.

******************

I guess the investigation will provide the evidence. This article could be viewed several ways. Cohee may have already stopped trying to break down the door and fled upon seeing the gun which would make it a bad shoot - perhaps. (Homeowner maybe thought they would get in the truck and ram the house, get a gun, maybe Cohee yelled “I’m gonna’ get my BIGGER gun and you’re dead!!”)

Or, the homeowner holding the gun was enough to send the scum running, and the shots didn’t need to be fired.

Or, the guy that lived in the house collapsed just inside the front door after being beaten. The door was near the parked vehicle. The wife came out another door, pointed the gun at them and told them to stop and leave. When they kept pounding away trying to break in, she fired and hit the woman, who then injured tried to get away and made it 50 feet before stopping. I sure hope the evidence shows it to be my last speculation which would be a justified shoot.

The linked article does not say it was a Trump sign, it says it was a sign in support of the Rep candidate for governor (Culp) who lost to incumbent Jay Inslee. Not saying that changes the legal situation but it shows media bias or a lack of due diligence.

The linked article does not say it was a Trump sign [...]

I'm surprised the media aren't running with

"White supremacist arrested for brutally murdering courageous political activist who attempted to 'take down' racist sign."

Also: Can you imagine how differently this incident would have been portrayed if ethnic minorities had been involved?

2.White female with child - both blond
3. a ‘goskagit.com’ image
4. a scary looking sketch of a woman.
5. a flashing police light, probably stock.

8. picture of a large clapboard house.
9. “Masks are disposable, Teachers aren’t” sign being held up.

Hmmm... Still can’t tell what happened !

“According to a probable cause affidavit filed in Skagit County District Court with the magistrate’s warrant, the 32-year-old woman, identified in court documents as Kamran Cohee, and a man pulled into the Conijn’s driveway, allegedly so he could let air out of the tires of his vehicle, court documents state.

At that point, Angela Conijn’s husband allegedly came out of the house and, according to the man, began filming or taking photos of him, court documents state. Eventually, Angela Conijn’s husband allegedly punched the other man in the face through the open driver’s side window.

Cohee allegedly left the vehicle and Angela Conijn went into the house to retrieve a gun, the documents state.

When deputies arrived at the Conijn home, they found Cohee dead in the driveway.

According to Angela Conijn’s husband, he had come out of the house when he saw someone pull into his driveway, believing they were trying to steal a political sign, documents state. A fight between the men ensued and Conijn’s husband was chased back into his home, he told deputies.

Outside, the other man and Cohee allegedly began beating on the Conijn’s front door with a wheelbarrow, documents state.

At that point, Angela Conijn allegedly exited the house and fired a gun toward the parked vehicle striking Cohee.

Cohee’s body was located about 50 feet from the residence and about 25 feet from the road, court documents state.

According to court documents, a wheelbarrow was found near the house. The man who arrived with Cohee allegedly admitted to taking the political sign.

Angela Conijn’s husband was taken to Skagit Valley Hospital for treatment of a facial injury.

Angela Conijn is being held in the Skagit County Community Justice Center on $500,000 bail.”

Seaux....

1. driver, unnamed
2. Karman Cohee - 32 year old woman

3. husband
4. Angela Conjin

Unnamed driver (1) pulls into Conijn’s driveway.
To ‘let the air out of his tires’
— well you don’t need to pull into a driveway to do this.
— usually you pull into a gas station ! with an air pump (just in case).
— and its cold, the tires should be on low air in this kind of weather !!!

Husband (3) comes out of house.
- begins filming or taking photos

Husband (3) allegedly punches driver (1) through open drivers window.

Karman Cohee (2) exists vehicle (from passenger side)

Angela Conijn (4) goes back into house to get gun (when did she come out?)

When police arrived Karman Cohee (2) is dead in driveway.

Husband (3) said he left house when he saw them pull into his driveway, he believed they were trying to steal a political sign (Trump sign)

Husband (3) says fight between ‘the men’ (1?) ensued.

Husband (3) is chased back into his home.

Karman Cohee (2) and drive (1) beige beating on front door with wheelbarrow.

Angela Konijn allegedly exited house and fired a gun ‘toward the parked vehicle’ striking Cohee (2).

Cohee (2) is dead 50 feet from house and 25 feet from road.
— 75 foot long driveway?
— they are in 25 feet off the road? That is a long way to pull in just to ‘let the air out of the tires’.

A wheelbarrow was found near the house.

The man (1) allegedly admitted to taking the political sign (Trump sign)

Husband(3) taken to Skagit Valley Hospital for treatment of facial injury.
