California Woman Rams Possible Porch Pirate With Her Car, Killing Her
Crime Online ^ | January 1, 2024 | KC Wildmoon

California prosecutors have charged a woman with intentionally hitting a 60-year-old woman with her car after accusing her of stealing a package from her home.

The incident took place on December 8, and the unidentified victim, who suffered major injuries, died on December 23.

Dene Blakely, 39, was initially charged with assault with a deadly weapon and later attempted murder. The charge was upgraded to murder after the victim’s death.

The San Pablo Police Department said they were called to the scene and learned that Blakely had rammed the victim after an altercation over a stolen package. The altercation escalated, police said, and ended with Blakely intentionally hitting the victim, who has not been named, with her car.

Blakely was arrested “without incident,” police said.

Police did not say if the victim had actually stolen a package from Blakely’s home.

Blakely was arraigned on the new murder charge on Friday and remains behind bars on a $1 million bail, according to jail records.

Right.

I re-watched the Dirty Harry movies and now will work through the Death Wish ones. Saw the Bruce Willis remake, Eye to Eye about a woman’s revenge on her daughter’s murderer (fine movie) and the excellent Urban Justice with Steven Seagal recently. The system of pseudo justice is.....guilty.

Most upsetting was the real crime Court TV Jan.1 show about the horrible massacre of the Christmas parade by Darrell E. Brooks Jr., in Waukesha, Wisconsin leaving 5 dead and 48 injured. He had been released from jail less than two weeks earlier in a domestic abuse case, on a $1,000 bail that prosecutors recommended and now say was “inappropriately low.”
What was infuriating was his total arrogance that he imagined he was a smart as normal people (he wasn’t) and could do his own defense and disrupt the court day after day with his rantings.

Thanks be to God this criminal was convicted and won’t get parole.
Show is Victim to Verdict “Christmas Parade Rampage.”

I think there should be special devices available that would go inside a used shipping box that would look just like a typical box you would receive from Amazon. This would work like the popular glitter bombs now on the market. With glitter bombs, once the package lid is removed, a magnet attached to a sensor is removed, which triggers compressed air to shoot out a mass of glitter. However, when opened, the device inside these boxes shoots a spray of colored stain all over everything. Imagine having that go off inside the perp’s car. I say it would be more effective than glitter. The cost of cleanup would be far more expensive than whatever the perceived value the thief thought was inside.

“She is really going to want a jury trial for this one.

Anyone who has ever had a package stolen would have a hard time convicting...”

A jury trial won’t help her. Our system allows CRIMINAL defense lawyers to “de-select” prospective jurors with a porch-thief experience.

As someone with a concealed carry license, I am familiar with the “use of deadly force laws” in my state where I carry.

A car can at times be considered a deadly force weapon.

Generally, to legally use deadly force, I have to feel that my life or safety is in severe danger or that of someone else. Sometimes deadly force can be used to stop a felony.

Driving a car into a porch pirate does not fit any “use of deadly force” laws I am aware of.

Washington Law has a good series of YouTube podcasts on various concealed carry topics. A recent one is on what a person can do if in a car and it is surrounded by a mob. The short version is allow your car to be significantly damaged and if you can slowly move through the crowd without injuring anyone get the hell out of there, otherwise you can’t do much of anything until they are breaking your windows with an intent to seriously harm you.

The Wild West was more tame than the name portrays. The wild portion came from the native fauna and the natives themselves.

Or me as judge. "Guilty? So say you all? Alright, I sentence the defendant to 5 days of community service and a $50 fine. I'll waive the fine." (gavel strike)

I’ve had packages mistakenly delivered to a neighbor. Sometimes they send a photo of the package at the wrong address.

Lol! Probably holds true. I usually just read the excerpt but in especially interesting articles, I have clicked to read the whole thing. Seeing the words “American Thinker” is often an instant click for me, since their articles are written exceptionally well.

If there i8s no law, then there is no law

Thus, Dene Blakely committed no crime and is innocent

And, she is not white and therefore blameless from the outset

UNLESS!!! It was an assault SUV. Her only hope of acquittal is if it was a self-driving Tesla.
