An Omaha woman is mourning the death of her boyfriend, a suspected burglar shot and killed by a business owner over the weekend. She believes that business owner should be charged with a crime.

Police say Jesus Franco broke into the business near 24th and I streets around 4:30 a.m. Saturday, struggled with the owner and then ran from the scene after being shot. Police found Franco dead a few blocks away, alone in his car. Click here to find out more!

Lynn Pecha is overcome with grief. Franco's girlfriend does not believe the story. “It's not right, he didn't have no weapons on him, the cops never found weapons and the guy said he had a knife. There was no knife.”

Lynn's mother agrees that charges should be filed against the business owner.

"The scenario was he broke into the business, doesn’t give a person the right to shoot somebody, especially if you don't see a weapon,” said Deana Arellano.

“Then no weapon was found, doesn’t give you the right to shoot somebody. There are laws against that and I think there needs to be a full investigation.”

Anyone who steps forward and claims relationship to him and supports him should be hung. That would stop all of this “He was a good boy!” stupidity in this nation.

To Lynn Pecha and Franco’s family:

Sympathy can be found in the dictionary between s(slang for fecal matter) and syphilis.

If this is a Liberal area, trust me the business owner will be indicted. I remember several years ago a burglar (I think it was in California) sued a homeowner when the burglar fell through a skylight on the homeowner’s roof and was injured. The burglar won. Go figure. For Liberals the criminals are GOOD, the victims are BAD.

This happened in Nebraska.

Omaha is in Nebraska not Oklahoma. You should delete “OK” from the title of the thread.

Said the two budding law school candidates in that whinny voice of Vivian's co-hooker in "Pretty Woman" when she complained about her pimp: "Carlos burned all my stuff when he kicked me out."

The statements of this vermin are a symptom of the moral laxity engendered by our “leadership class.”

Tennessee is one of the states where criminals are forbidden by law to file a civil suit. Here if someone breaks into my home I will shoot them. I don’t need to see them carrying a weapon. Breaking into my home is all the reason I need to fire on them.
