MOBILE, Alabama -- On Friday afternoon a tense scene played out in front of the Rouses Supermarket on Theodore Dawes Road. Three people drew their guns after a reported theft, a Mobile Police Department spokesman said.
Donnie James Moore, 60 had shoplifted steaks from the grocery store before officers arrived at 12:20 p.m., according to MPD. When a loss prevention officer tried to stop him, Moore shoved past him. Moore made it to his car, where he grabbed a gun.
He pulled it on the officer, MPD spokesman Officer Terence Perkins said. The loss prevention officer stepped back and pulled his own gun and aimed it at Moore.
Another man watched the scene play out from his car. He pulled out his own gun and pointed it at Moore before either man could decide whether or not to shoot.
The bystander fired multiple shots at Moore' car. In response the 60-year-old jumped into the car and drove off.
Police found him a short time later as he tried to replace one of his damaged tires, Perkins said.
Officers said the bystander, who was not identified, will not face charges for opening fire on Moore.
"He acted in defense of someone else," Perkins said. "If you happen to see a situation (where) deadly force is going to be used, you have the right to defend."
I have not looked at any pics yet, but after I make this post, I will, and see if my hunches are right too. I will get back to you.
This is one “rare” story.
Yep, I saw the pic. I had two hunches, one of which was correct. The dumb sh!t is 60 years old. Don’t they ever stop their criminal activity?
So who was it who said career criminals “burn out” by age 40?
I don't know, but whoever said it, did not know what he was talking about. Seriously though, there may be some who outgrow it, but a lot who don't.
Ewwwww. The jokes never stop.
#27 Say, isn’t that Ice-T?
Mobile County Metro Jail records show Moore has faced multiple arrests since 1987.
If you lock them away forever, at some point the legal system would have much, much less to do. That translates to fewer judges, clerks, lawyers, court reporters, police, .... Fewer criminals means justice served swifter & less costly. What lawyer/legislator wants that?
No, we have to release these predators after about 6 months in jail so that they can feed the legal system & all its hungry jackals.
This is why criminal laws are written (of the lawyers, by the lawyers, for the lawyers) in 10-20,000 words or MORE. Complex laws REQUIRE many lawyers & judges to interpret them in a way that best suits them, justice & public safety be damned.
Here's an idea: Anyone found guilty of a crime of violence or the threat of violence goes to jail for life, making pebbles from boulders with a sledge hammer. Anyone found guilty of injury or death of a victim gets the death penalty via public hanging. It wont be but a few years before crime, especially the violent kind, diminishes significantly, primarily because the vast majority of repeat criminals are dead or in jail.
Anyway, I'm glad the Alabamians pulled their guns and brought this beef-thief to justice.
Speaking of steaks, I'm headed to the butcher's shop later to get some thick porterhouses for the grill. They are charging about $15 a pound right now but well worth it. I'm going to grill some ears of corn and asparagus to go with them and the wife is going to cook up a big pot of rice and drizzle it with extra virgin olive oil. Along with a couple bottles of deep red wine.

This is exactly what’s wrong with our so-called “justice system.” Our courts have a “blank check” from the taxpayers. They keep churning these thugs at the risk to the citizens paying for their shell game.
How much has this one worthless thug cost taxpayers? Multiple arrests, court appointed lawyers, law enforcement, grandstanding judges, prisons, healthcare, courts, food, etc.? Fortunately, this worthless thug that these grandstanding “honorable” judges kept churning onto innocent taxpayers didn’t kill anyone yet .... or at least not that we know of.
We hear of judges turning them free because they’re concerned about humane conditions for these criminal thugs. What about humane conditions for innocent citizens? The thugs that commit violent crime should be moved to an island where they cannot leave and no one can visit or spend the rest of their lives in a cage.

Have a toast to the three men that pulled their guns to help catch this untamed animal.
Rouse’s is a Louisiana-based grocery chain that has a meat department bigger than a lot of other grocery stores. It is a meat lover’s wet dream and a vegetarian’s nightmare, lol.
Usually they are dead by 40.

They are new to my area. I am looking forward to checking it out.
If they stock the same merchandise in your neck of the woods as they do here, look for the, “steak cut bacon.” It’s extreeeeemely thick and takes a long time to fry, but in the end, you have what can best be described as bacon cookie, lol.
“steak cut bacon.”
That sounds great. I am going to have to check them out.
Absolutely will. May all law-abiding people bear firearms and may all criminals be shot dead by them.
