Tough situation! Mr. Stevens was absolutely correct in his actions, but there could still be some legal problems. I'd hate to see him get taken to court for a wrongful death civil suit.
But, it just goes to show what a competent person with a CCW permit and good maksmanship can do for society.

Was the deadman on PCP? 5 shots to the torso, 4 from a .45ACP and he was still fighting. Wow!

In a press conference, the Police Department, announced that the killing was justified and that Mr. Stevens will not be charged with anything. It is legal in louisiana for a third party to use deadly force to protect a life of another. I think louisiana is also the only state that has an open-carry law (not that I've seen anyone do this).

Unbelieveable. The response I got from a friend on this one. I emailed the article link out as a sad story but a thankfullness that there are good citizens out there. A long time sorta friend emails me back and says,
Friend - "So let me get this straight; this guy shoots an unarmed man?" Me - "He didn't know he was unarmed at the time. He saw the guy attacking a police officer who was screaming for help". Friend - "Well I would have put him down with a headlock first" Me - "Are you crazy? And maybe get yourself killed?" Friend - "Well maybe you'll get lucky and get to kill someone with your gun someday". Needless to say I wrote the Jack*** and told him never to email me again. Unbelieveable.

I used to work at my parents old convenience store in the ghetto and since then I live by this rule, "If a person does not have enough respect for his own life (by forcing me into a dangerous situation) then I don't see why I should respect his and gamble my own." That guy knew or should have known that he is putting his life in danger by attacking an armed man, a LEO at that. The local news also read some viewers comments this morning, and it just shows how ignorant some people are here are two: 1. A lady wrote, "I would only shoot to maime, not kill". -guns are not meant to be a deterant! 2. Another lady wrote, "If Mr. Stevens was such a great shot why didn't he just shoot the guy in the leg to get him off the officer" - no comment. |
