A South Carolina man pleaded guilty to federal charges in the death of New Mexico State Police Officer Justin Hare, who was fatally shot by the man after prosecutors said he offered to help him with a flat tire. Jaremy Smith was on the run from South Carolina, where he’s accused of kidnapping and killing a woman, when Hare encountered him with a flat tire on Interstate 40 in Quay County, New Mexico on March 15, 2024, according to prosecutors.

Not unlike this story (maybe even weirder)

A Georgia fire chief stopped to help a driver who hit a deer. He was then shot and killed.

Lack of a strong death penalty in every state is the fault of the people.

I wonder if the murderer will be tried for killing the paramedic in SC, and stealing her car (which he was driving when he shot the NM State Trooper. That might end with the needed death sentence, and much harder time beforehand than Club Fed.

True.

So called life sentence varies as we have seen before.
Lots of time to pump iron, learn techniques of crime from experts behind bars and then laws allow appeals-—even if in 2025 they don’t say so.

“The last words that Officer Hare uttered on this earth was an offer to help the man who was about to kill him,” New Mexico State Police Chief Troy Weisler said in a recorded video message shared the day after Hare was killed. “I am disgusted and I am sickened by the actions of this cold blooded murderer,” Weisler said.

My feelings today after about 1 minute of news in which they showed a clip of Schumer* taunting Trump for not doing anything his first day to bring down Biden’s inflation.
Then a few seconds from the View.
Then a NM officer killed and a border office at the Canadian US border killed.

Not good for my work in suppressing my self-diagnosed Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED).

FR is good therapy, though. As is daily prayer.


* Rush said when the House or Senate changes to the new majorities the offices for the leaders and whips and staff are much better than for the minority ones. Schumer must have to painfully squeeze his yuge ego into the narrow doorway to get to the MINORITY offices down the hall.

Except in provable extreme circumstances (cop in a homicidal rage, etc), the attempted murder of an LEO should carry a mandatory death sentence. No need to let an inept criminal improve his job skills by giving him the opportunity to try it again.
