He needed that car!!! He was beaten as a child!! not breast fed!! Had to eat store brand cereal!!! His mother was a crackhead!! His father is in jail for selling pornography with hamsters in it!!! He lives with his grandma who is 320 pounds and so senile she thinks she’s in a broadway show!! Have some compassion!!!!
So, is the DRT perp a Mormon or an illegal or something else?
The perp had multiple felony warrants according to the story. What a surprise.

Suspect dead after man with concealed carry permit intervenes in alleged carjacking in Orem
Excerpt:
The incident started at the Summit Ridge Apartment Complex in the area of 1700 S. 400 East when police were called to a fight at about 10:45 a.m. Five people, three women and two men, fled the scene in a vehicle....that's where the story in this thread picks it up. So this dirtbag had quite an interesting morning...FOX 13 News Robert Boyd reports a resident of an apartment was nearly hit at some point as the suspects drove through a grassy area during their escape.
Police said the suspects vehicle stopped in the area of 1010 South and 400 East after they hit a curb. Surveillance footage shows the five people exiting the vehicle. A 26-year-old male suspect stole a pickup truck from a home in that area and the other four left the area on foot.
Two of the females that fled on foot were apprehended and taken in for questioning regarding the incident. The suspect who fled in the truck drove to Maceys, 800 N. State Street.
While at the grocery store, police say, the suspect abandoned the truck and went to steal another vehicle in the parking lot.
I have NO interest in carrying, but will be getting approval and getting hardware. This kind of society in the daylight is krap.
Is he black? Is this going to be an excuse for more flag stomping and city burning by the criminal class?
He plumb Tuckered out and is taking a long dirt nap.
Good, he has changed his ways.
You need to keep firing as long as there is a threat.
Decent society thanks you, citizen. A rational country would pin a medal on this person.

So two are still at large?
Ditto. Happy endings bring tears to my eyes.
I’d add, especially in Utah.
“Several felony warrants”
So they know who it is, just not saying.
