” Not to have words with an rightfully angry father. “
Rightfully angry? Are you out of your mind? These people did nothing to his daughter. NOTHING!!!!!!!!!! He shot them in cold blood over NOTHING!!!
All I'm asking is that you read the scant information before going all leftist on me. two unidentified males were in an SUV near 1570 West and 13400 South at 11 p.m. Tuesday on neighborhood watch when they approached two girls. and we all know that two young girls are obviously criminals that should be followed and approached if they're out on the streat - sic Taliban. Words were exchanged. There was a verbal altercation . Now I don't know about you but if I happened to be a member of a neighborhood watch I'd think I'd be a little more approachable and understanding to the people that I'm supposedly there to help. Those two sound like they were out looking for trouble and they got it - no surprise - a shame that the dad will probably be demonized and made an example of by our all protecting goverment. Though, perhaps if he's lucky the new health plan will kick in and the guys in the hospital will be denied care under it before the trial actually begins.
IF two men not known to the girls,and not easily identifiable as some sort of "officials" ,stopped and began questioning them,I can easily understand the girls becoming upset and frightened.
And Mr. Campos erred in not simply calling the police and reporting what the girls told him about the "stalkers";he could have gone so far as looking for the stalkers and noting their vehicle license and description ,then phoning the police.
Mr. Campos should not have even tried to stop the "stalkers" much less confront them .
At the very least,I see Mr. Campos being forbidden weapons in the future due to his new status as a felon guilty of assault with a deadly weapon.And the Campos family finances are toast.BUT if one of the Watch patrolers pulled a gun FIRST,then Mr. Campos may have a defense.If one of the two strange men you thought were stalking your daughter pulled a gun on you,wouldn't you feel the need to defend yourself?
Scenarios like this is why I am strongly opposed to unmarked cars and plainclothes officers making traffic stops.
