DAMN! is there nothing that can be done? E S looked to be such a great kid... if this happened to me or mine... well,.. you know.
In case anyone want to know my sudden interest.. I was at my mom's house when an apparent criminal tried to talk his way into the house with the old tired routine, "my kid is sick, I need a dollar for gas... rah, rah... I ran him off the front porch because I told him to leave and he just sat down in a chair on the front porch like "he was at the end of his road and could not go a step further" bsbsbs... when he "realized" there were firearms in the house he bolted for his car, (still running... he was not THAT low on gas,) \he got to the car quick enough... apparently he was not " that far gone."
Too bad someone was not armed and awake to confront the scum that got E.S., it should have just been a small footnote in HOME DEFENSE.... nothing more. Now Elis is gone.
Sad... DAMN!
. . .could be wrong - it happens - but think the police did not handle this case well, from the very beginning - and perhaps at their request, the family ended up sending mixed messages/signals etc.
Think the handyman could have been arrested earlier; might have had more time to talk and investigate. As it was, think he died while they still referred to him only as a possible suspect. . .
Ahhh, nothing like the sound of racking the slide on a 12 gauge to get the desired affect
